TELEVISION
As Ted’s success expanded into television, he produced one of the most successful drama franchises in TV history, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”.
Ted Kotcheff spent the 12 1/2 years before retiring – roughly the first of the new millennium – running the popular TV series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. (To find good actors for the show, he estimates he watched more than 23,000 auditions.)
This episode is one of 284 Executive Produced by Ted Kotcheff but this one episode in particular had a very special guest : Actor, Robin Williams.
The following Law and Order: SVU in playing in Netflix.
Robin Williams is the actor who played Merritt Rook in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season nine episode "Authority". (29 Apr. 2008)
This is the most excellent episode of Law and Order: SVU I have ever seen. In this episode he plays this creep who thinks that he has power and control over everyone. He says that everyone is a sheep and he wins for a little while but as I found out what happened to his wife, I felt some sympathy towards him. The acting is just so supreme that I couldn't believe it. Just when I thought that the episode was over, I got more of a surprise. This episode is full of twists and turns and the greatest acting on TV.
