Why Law And Order: SVU's Benson Could Be Essential To Stabler's Undercover Journey On Organized Crime

You know, from what I've heard from the undercovers I've spoken with, you really kind of do lose yourself in the job. And I think we find Elliot in that place, whether it's intentional or unconsciously intentional. Because I think he was introduced back into the franchise under very stressful circumstances, obviously, both vis-a-vis his life and, you know, trying to come to terms with what exactly Benson is to him and his new life, both personally and professionally. So, we now have Elliot undercover, and I think Benson recognizes certain telltale signs that he might need to talk to people or, you know, maybe it's not the most healthy place for him to be in the moment. But it does put a strain on how Benson and Stabler engage each other, and – but also the writers from both shows have written it in such a way that our lives do overlap and intersect. So, you know, we engage each other I guess from a more professional angle there for a few shows, and a little bit from the personal side.
