Mariska Hargitay Shows Off Impressive Vocals in Behind-the-Scenes SVU Video
It looks like the Law & Order star is not only good at acting but also at singing.
Being the daughter of Jayne Mansfield is certainly not an easy way to spend your childhood, but it looks like Mariska Hargitay has managed to handle the pressure of having a sex symbol for a mother quite well and become an accomplished actress in her own right.
While she has been starring almost exclusively on SVU for more than two decades, Hargitay's role as Detective Olivia Benson was enough to cement her as one of the best drama actresses out there. But it looks like even if Hargitay didn't become an actress, she could have easily become a singer.
In a recent Instagram post, Hargitay can be seen singing the iconic 'Blue Bayou' song with her assistant, while Broadway's icon Betty Buckley sits nearby, enjoying the impromptu performance.
Fans were stunned to see this performance and wondered why Hargitay hadn't shown off her wonderful voice before. With talent like that, she could have been singing all her lines on SVU for two decades and no one would have minded, people say.
Some fans who know a lot about singing and even call themselves vocal coaches also praised Hargitay's voice, wondering if she took some lessons or is just a natural like her mother (who sang in some of her movies).
Of course, after witnessing such a wonderful performance, fans will not let Hargitay get away with it and are already jokingly threatening her to upload such videos on a daily basis.
Maybe even Law & Order's producer Dick Wolf will take notice of his biggest star's talent and allow the production of a musical episode, which might sound a bit gimmicky but would be a total blast to watch, people argue.
SVU fans are congratulating each other on having such a wonderful performer leading their favorite show and are wondering if Mariska Hargitay might appear in the next season of The Masked Singer.
Law & Order: SVU Season 24 Episode 19 will arrive on NBC on April 27, 2023.
