'Scrubs'
Chris Meloni, also known as Detective Elliot Stabler on "Law & Order: SVU," is pulling a comic surprise out of his box of acting tricks on this week’s episode of "Scrubs." And "Extra" got a sneak peek at the actor's guest appearance during a visit to the set of the hit NBC series where we found Meloni playing an eccentric pediatrician with a penchant for talking through puppets.
It is an odd habit that TV’s Doctor Cox and ex-wife Jordan discover when they try to secure his services for their new baby boy. And regulars John C. McGinley and Christa Miller Lawrence agree that Meloni's character is truly one worth seeing.
Lawrence says, "He hates everybody, and he's a psycho."
In fact, Meloni is apparently so good at being bad; there is even talk of him returning to "Scrubs." McGinley says, "I bet he comes back. He's just spot on, he's crushing."
And Meloni says he is up for it. He says, "If they like the stuff I’m laying down, if it all works out, I would love to be back."
That is, if the puppet says it is okay.
