At the event, Mariska opened up about playing Detective Olivia Benson for 20 years: “We merge. We come together,” Mariska told ET. “I think we’re each other’s teachers. But yeah, she’s taught me a lot.”
“It’s a lesson in being present and to not be thinking ahead,” Mariska continued. “If you asked me 20 years ago, I never thought I’d be here 20 years later, and I am fulfilled and I love my co-stars and it’s an incredible collaboration with the producers and the writers, so I’m really enjoying it.”
