AceShowbiz - "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Mariska Hargitay has revealed a bizarre request she frequently receives from celebrities: the desire to play a dead body on the show. "All the famous people, you know what they want?" Hargitay said on "Late Night with Seth Meyers". "To be a dead body. It's so weird."

Hargitay recalled an encounter with a renowned supermodel who expressed her wish to appear as a corpse: "I found out that she loved my show. So I said, 'Oh my gosh,' I went to the writers, I said, 'Can she be on the show?' And she said she wanted to be a dead body, but then I said, 'No, no, we have this great part for you.'" However, the supermodel remained adamant: "I want to be a dead body."

Seth Meyers admitted to sharing the same aspiration, having once requested to play a deceased character during the 2007-2008 writers' strike. "I wanted to be a dead body," he said. "My agent was like, 'There's a part for you.' I looked at it and I was like, 'I don't want lines. I just want to be a dead person in the park.' "

"SVU", now in its 26th season, has featured a star-studded roster of guest appearances over the years. Notable names who have made multiple cameos include Peter Scanavino, who played Johnny Dubcek twice before landing the series regular role of Detective Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr. Hargitay herself has played Detective Olivia Benson since the show's premiere in 1999, investigating sexual crimes as a member of the NYPD and eventually rising to the rank of captain.

While Hargitay has been granted her fair share of memorable storylines, there remains one desire she longs to fulfill in an SVU episode: playing a drunk character. "I don't know who I have to call to get a drunk gig 'cause I'm so good at it, and I beg, I beg," she said. "I mean, like, I'm America's sweetheart, I thought. I beg them to write me a drunk scene. They won't."
