A riddle: How can an upcoming Law & Order: SVU guest star be both a big name and also a Medium one?
Here’s how: Medium star Patricia Arquette will play a call girl on a November episode of the NBC procedural, TVLine has learned. Small-screen vet Anne Meara will play her mom.
In the episode – which also features guest star Jason Gedrick (Dexter) – an armed and dangerous man goes on a killing spree in New York City. Arquette’s character Jeannie is a prostitute with whom the murderer has a weekly appointment… and she’s nowhere to be found. The SVU team then must convince jaded fellow NYPD officers that the working girl’s life is worth saving.
Meara appears as Jeannie’s (understandably) worried mother Irene.
Arquette played Medium‘s spiritually connected Allison Dubois for the drama’s seven-season run. Meara’s long list of TV credits include The King of Queens, Oz, Alf, Archie Bunker’s Place and a 2004 SVU episode in which she also played a mom – of a serial killer.
SVU airs Wednesdays at 9/8c.
