Meloni and Norris spoke with the duration of the decision a virtual press day to discuss the new season, working with the fabulous Hargitay and which actors (s) believe they should join the Stablr family.
Decish: Chris, what does Dean Brings to Randall that made you want to bring him back as a regular series for season 5?
Christopher Meloni: When I saw what Dean brought, I wanted to have killed him immediately [laughs]But the upper level people would allow that. Then, I sent a message to Dean and trained it in an appearance of what Randall should be. He could not be more proud of what Dean has been able to do with his limited talent.
Dean Norris: [Laughs] He gives great notes.
CM: Allando to one side, Dean and I made an independent movie ten years ago called Small timeAnd we get along. I admire this type; It is a great human being. And I thought our chemistry was really special. I rarely feel chemistry as I do with him. Since then, we have kicked the idea of trying to make a show go together. He couldn’t have been happier when his name was raised to play my brother.
DN: As soon as the team revealed that the role was Chris Meloni’s brother, I thought: “Yes, sure.”
Dean, then the experience of the joints Law and Order: OC Has the family been positive?
DN: Oh, absolutely positive. Do not give it too much credit [laughs]But Chris Meloni has made a very comfortable show for me. I felt as part of the family immediately. Ellen was also incredible. They were all.
Chris, what about the story in season 5 that involves a case that felt as an opportunity to gather Olivia and Elliot once again? Did you have to work hard to convince Mariska?
CM: No, you never have to convince her, let’s [laughs]. She will always act with me. When they introduced Dean Norris, he became an immediate love story between those two. It was really crazy. I was kicking ideas with the showrunner because we knew Mariska was close. We thought that Stabler would be deceived, Olivia would come to the hospital, and it would be a great introduction for Randall and Benson for his first meeting. In addition, it was an opportunity for people to say what they do not use in front of Stabler, since he cannot answer.
Dean, I loved Randall’s monologue delivered to the comatoso elliot in which he expresses all the anger he had towards his brother and then lets him go. How important is that moment for your relationship in the future?
DN: It is a life or death situation. Randall had many things he wanted to say. Through the season, there are more moments when brothers become more authentically. That scene of the hospital bed is a great part of why Randall can begin to move on, which was a brilliant writing. Did you know that he wrote that episode, by the way? [gestures to Chris]? Are we getting to that?
That was my next question! Chris, a Dean’s Point, episode 2 is important for Stabling. Was it important for you to give a hand in that writing process?
CM: It was real. I simply felt very sure that I had a vision of privileged information about the essence of the benson/stable relationship: it shows that they operate, how they speak, what he needs in those tense moments. I know all these characters so well. I always wanted to write certain feelings for Stabling’s mother, Bernie and Randall.
Chris, you make a first level hospital bed in this episode. Dean, Mariska and Ellen have these incredible monologues/moving scenes about you. What is your secret to be present when your character is out of it?
Cm: tranquility and stillness when Dean was delivering the monologue I wrote for him sleep [laughs]. I was asleep or would be so tense for what I was doing to the lines, the butcher shop that was happening. I chose to be in a common state instead of listening [laughs].
DN: [Laughs] The work that I had to make that script come together! I contacted some of the earliest things I had in me as an actor to inspire, but I think we did it. I think tolerable is a good word.
Chris and Dean, Elliot and Randall have an unnamed brother. Put on your casting hat and tell me what other actor you would like to see the Stabler family.
CM: Denzel?
DN: Denzel would be perfect.
CM: Timothée Chalamet?
Dn: He is not …
CM: It is not stable family material.
