In the NFL's on-going attempt to meld entertainment and sports - and that's not a flip sentence, because it's a good idea - more celebrities were invited to last week's 2011 NFL Draft. And while 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin skipped out on the NFL Red Carpet, and reported due to "the weather" (it had been raining, but cleared-up nicely), Christopher Meloni Of NBC's Law And Order Special Victims Unit was kind enough to be a guest of the NFL and bring his young son with him.
Mr. Meloni was good enough to take a minute to talk about what makes the show so popular.
"I think people connect to the characters. I think it's a subject matter than people feel passionately about. We touch on issues that people feel about societally and culturally. And there's a resolution to all that, after one hour of hanging with us."
Christopher says that the show will be back with all new characters and writers. But, after years of Emmys and acclaim, is an Oscar-targeted movie in the works? "I like the way you think. We have a lot of things we're shuffling around the figuring out. There's not too much time for that."
With all of this fame, Christopher Meloni says he doesn't have a website. I checked on Google, and at one point he had a website. Now, where it once at Christopher-Meloni.com was has this:
Chris has closed his web site
He would like to thank everyone for their interest and support.
Chris will retain ownership of the domain name, but will not be establishing another presence on the internet, including on services such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Which may mean Meloni had, sadly, some kind of bad experience. It's too bad that it takes one or two people to ruin the chance to for millions to keep up with their favorite stars.
Stay tuned.
