The acting rapper has been on NBC’s Law and Order: Special Victim’s Unit for over 20 years. The Hip-Hop audience caught wind of him as a self-proclaimed gangsta rapper who hailed from Newark, New Jersey but made his mark as a recording artist after moving to Los Angeles. The mainstream audience took notice of him after he appeared as an undercover police officer in the popular, Hip-Hop-driven movie, New Jack City.

His popularity soared after taking on the role of Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola in the Law and Order spinoff. According to HipHopDX, the 61-year-old Body Count member joined the show in 2001. Ice-T has been featured as a regular cast member in more than 456 episodes.
