Acclaimed actress and producer Rita Wilson is set to guest star on an episode of LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT that is scheduled to air this May.
Wilson will guest star as Bree Mazelon, the protective mother of a teenager under investigation in the episode titled “Delinquent.”
Executive Producer Neal Baer had this to say about the casting news:
“A few years ago, I saw Rita Wilson give a riveting performance playing the mother of child with ADD in the play ‘Distracted,’ and I knew she’d be a wonderful guest star for SVU. Rita will be playing a mother struggling to care for her seriously disturbed child and we know the episode will be truly memorable.”
Wilson recently guest-starred on two episodes of CBS’s The Good Wife and her film credits include the Nancy Meyers comedy It’s Complicated as well as the upcoming Fox Searchlight film Homework, which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
Wilson has also served as an executive producer on the Universal Studios hit film Mamma Mia! and was honored with The Producer’s Guild of America’s Visionary Award for the record-breaking box office hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
