Ice-T is returning to full-time duty on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." The actor and rapper confirmed he will appear in every episode of season 28.
During an appearance on "The TMZ Podcast," Ice-T discussed his role as Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola, a character he has played since the show's second season in 2000.
In season 27, Ice-T had a part-time role. He explained that producers needed extra budget to bring back Kelli Giddish as Amanda Rollins.
That decision did not bother him.
"I understood where management was coming from," Ice-T said.
Everyone wanted Kelli to return, and the reduced schedule freed him up to earn additional income during his time off.
Now, Ice-T is back full-time for the new season.
Fans can expect to see him alongside Mariska Hargitay and the rest of the cast every week as they take on New York City's worst criminals.
During the podcast, Ice-T also talked about his wife Coco Austin's social media activity and his new venture, OG Network.
The full conversation is available on "The TMZ Podcast."
