"Ice-T explained why his Law & Order: SVU character, Sgt. Fin, hasn't been around much for season 27, and he has no hard feelings about it. "[The show] brought Kelli [Giddish] back, and at the end of the day, they couldn't really keep both of us on full time, as far as budget-wise," Ice-T shared with . "So they said 'Ice, we'll have you come in and out this year'... I understood, everything is cool with me.""
"He confirms that he's not leaving the show, but he is a little worried going into season 28; it's unclear if he's talking about his character or the show as a whole, but either way, he isn't going to speak badly about his longest job yet; Ice has been on the show the second longest, behind Mariska Hargitay. He says, "I've been on this show for 27 years. I'm not going to say nothing negative about that show. They've taken care of me"
Budget limitations led to reduced screen time for Ice-T's Sgt. Fin in Law & Order: SVU season 27 as the production prioritized Kelli Giddish's return. Ice-T agreed to a recurring schedule and confirmed he is not leaving the series after 27 years. He expressed gratitude for the show's long-term support and said the arrangement gives him time for other projects, while noting some concern heading into season 28. Giddish returned after leaving the main cast in 2022 and described the season as revitalized. The current 22-episode season is less than halfway complete, with both sergeants appearing in roughly half the aired episodes.
