"And he was well worth the wait." That's the word from
Law & Order: SVU executive producer Neal Baer, announcing the casting of Bill Pullman (
Independence Day) as the new (and lucky!) guy in Benson's life.
According to
People, Pullman's character, Kurt Moss, is the editor of a fictional New York City newspaper, and first will be seen in the April 22 episode, the procedural's second post-strike outing.
Mariska Hargitay is sure to be pleased. As she shared with TV Guide just last week, "I've been begging Neal for five years to give me a boyfriend!"
