Laura Benanti to Guest Star on Law & Order: SVU

Laura Benanti has landed a key, upcoming role on Law & Order: SVU.

The actress, who portrayed Carol Lynne on the very short-lived The Playboy Club, will come on board this other NBC drama as Detective Nick Amaro's wife. Look for her to show up after a long time overseas and for her and her husband to have a major talk about the state of this relationship.

This chat will dictate the length of Benanti's stay on the series. She's currently signed for one episode with the potential for more.
