The first time I watched Law & Order SVU I was immediately drawn to Chris Meloni. His smiling, twinkling eyes and the way he held himself commanded attention.
Obviously he got lots of notice in HBO's OZ, which he did a wonderful job on also. But he was also known for, how can we say it, everything they showed (or what they didn't cover it.)
SVU has given him the chance to grow in so many ways. From the first episode to the latest one, he has continually added layers on to his character. He had a big chance to grow when his TV wife packed up, took the children and left him. I felt as if he was cheated some this year with the writing and the promotions. We Stabler fans waited for the episode where he was supposedly blinded, but it was just something small where they could sit him out of most of the episode. That was another chance they could have given him to shine some more. I hope they give us more of the Stabler we have come to count on.

Christopher Meloni is an extremely talented actor who can take on just about any role. He is great whether he is doing comedy, drama or action. He knows how to portray the necessary emotions to make a character come alive. Chris is really good at making the viewer seem as if they really know the character. He can do so many versatile roles and has so many different aspects to his acting. Many of those good qualities can be seen on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. His character Elliot Stabler is very emotional and Christopher Meloni allows the viewer to really get to know him. Superb!

Christopher was born Christopher Peter Meloni on April 2, 1961 in Washington, D.C. Before launching his acting career, he worked as a construction worker, bartender, and a personal trainer. His first role was playing Johnny Gunn on 1st and Ten in 1989. On July 1, 1995, he married production designer Sherman Williams. In 1999, he fueled his acting career by landing the role of Detective Elliot Stabler in Law & Order:SVU. On March 23, 2001, he had his first child with wife Sherman Williams, daughter named Sophia Eva Pietra. Law & Order:SVU co-star Mariska Hargitay is Christopher's daughter's godmother. Christopher's height is 6' 0 1/2"(1.84m). His astrological sign is Aries. Christopher is often credited in films by his alias name Chris Meloni. Meloni's sister is a Washington social worker, and his brother Robert is a Virginia accountant. I think Christopher plays Detective Elliot Stabler very well. In my opinion, he is rated a 9. I hope to continue to watch him on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Chris Meloni is a very talented actor. I think that he deserves a lot more credit for all of his hard work and effort that he puts into acting.
He does an excellent job on SVU. (Which is my all-time favorite show!) Elliot Stabler is my favorite character on SVU, and I really hope that Chris continues to play Elliot Stabler after the 10th season. Chris also has done a really good job on Oz. Although I haven't seen many episodes, I do think that his work on Oz is very good, and that he really should be a little more recognized for all of his work.
Chris is an excellent actor, but he is very underrated. I really hope that he does get a little more recognized for his work soon.
10/10!

WOW! He's kinda underated as an actor. I feel bad for him because he's a very good one. He proved very beautifuly his skills in OZ (with this show he convinced me) and I think he can do a lot better if he's given the oportunity. And not to mention he is pretty good looking. Anyway, the main line is that he has talent and it's too bad he's not that recognized. Christopher can do a looot better (as I already said). You just have to watch him in OZ and you will think about him exactly as I do now. Believe me.

Chris Meloni was also a star of Law and ORder Special Victims Unit. He started out as the main person. even now, everything that happens revolves around him. its obvious that hes torn between his wife and kids, and olviia. Everyone wants him and olivia to get together, but this character has a family. Chris signed on to SVU at the very begining and has stayed on full time ever since. He doesnt have many other big roles in movies or tv. He made a small scene in harold and kumar go to white castle, and plans to be in the second one. Chris is also a canidate for standing up for Anti-prejudice, as well as the enviroment. Speaking whats on his mind all the time is what makes him different. he cares, and it shows. I hope to see much more of chris after his sad departure from SVU.

Meloni is a really great actor. I like his style, like Hagarty, he brings personality to his character, and makes the show's he's on more enjoyable. I always took forward to seeing law and order svu, because of mariska and him, they are amazing together. I like how he brings emotion to his parts, and makes the show spicier, and alot more powerfull and inspiring to watch. I like how stabler is the good cop/bad cop on the show, it's pretty cool to see him play those differnt roles in character. I hope to see him in more tv shows soon.

Great actor, I have seen him in a lot of movies but I also know a lot from his work in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and I think that he is one of the best actors in the series, his style is very cool, and he is always the one that struggles personal with professional problems. He is just one great actor.

Christopher Meloni who plays Detective Elliot Stabler on Law and Order: SVU is one of the most telented actors in all 4 of the Law and Order dramas. When he puts his mind to his character, it's like he is not acting. Sometimes I don't always 'love' his character but I still think that the the acting behind it is absoloutely brilliant!

I have watched the Oz episodes and seen that Chris Meloni was indeed Chris Keller. He looked good even then. I just absolutely adore Chris in his portrayal of Elliot Stabler on Law and Order SVU. He and Mariska Hargitay are the perfect co-stars. I am glad that he got a raise for his acting on L&O SVU because it would not be the same without Chris or Mariska. I think he is a wonderful person for being part of the Child Advocacy Center and part of the AIDS Walk In New York. I think Chris Meloni needs to have a bigger role on L&O SVU and I would personally like to see more of what his childhood and life before he became a cop was like.
