LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Marlo Thomas (news) has signed on to do a five-episode arc on NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Thomas will portray a judge who is known for speaking her mind and serves as a mentor to the show's assistant district attorney, played by Diane Neal. The first of Thomas' five episodes is scheduled to air next week in the drama series' regular Tuesday 10 p.m. slot.
"We're huge fans of her work," said "Law & Order: SVU" executive producer Neal Baer, who called the character "a dynamic and savvy judge."
In addition to the NBC drama series, Thomas will be seen in the upcoming Lifetime TV movie "Deceit," about a grieving widow who becomes a suspect in the disappearance of her wealthy husband. "Deceit" is set to bow March 15. Thomas, known for her 1960s sitcom "That Girl," recently hosted the Lifetime special "Our Heroes, Ourselves" and the TV movie "Two Against Time."
