If you watched Law & Order: SVU, you couldn't possibly forget these legendary appearances.

Throughout its 24 seasons, long-lasting Law & Order: SVU has surprised its viewers with unexpected guest stars so many times. In this article we are going to look back at the most iconic and unforgettable cameos in SVU.

5. Ludacris

Ludacris made a guest appearance in the 18th episode of season 7, portraying a rapper named Skull who becomes a murder suspect. The case is additionally stirred up by Skull's past involvement in domestic violence.

Ludacris delivered a stellar performance, portraying a character with shades of gray rather than a heroic role such as the one we got used to during the Fast & Furious movies.

4. Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland made not just one but two appearances in Law & Order: SVU. She played Lily Ramsey in the premiere episode of season 3 and Jennifer Banks in the 12th episode of season 10.

While being associated with the comedy genre given her roles such as Haley Dunphy on Modern Family, her appearances on SVU demonstrated how good she can be in dramatic and darker roles.

3. Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg made an appearance in the SVU's 22nd episode of season 20 as a rapper named P.T. Banks, the rival of another rapper Snake Eye.

Banks became a suspect in the assault of Snake Eye's wife, pop star Dallas Monroe. He was arrested, but he was later cleared when he provided an alibi.

Despite having a minor role, Snoop Dogg fans absolutely loved his appearance and admired his performance.

2. Hilary Duff

In episode 19 of season 10, Hilary Duff took on the role of Ashlee Walker, a youthful and seemingly negligent mother.

Tragically, Walker's daughter succumbs to measles, having been exposed to an unvaccinated child. As a result, the family of the unwell child becomes the focus of retaliation.

While being a good mother to her children in real life, Duff flawlessly portrayed a "mother of the year" on the show.

1. Robin Williams

In the 17th episode of SVU's ninth season, Robin Williams himself portrayed the protagonist of the episode — Merritt Rook, an anti-establishment activist who kidnaps Olivia Benson to defy authority.

Do we really have to say that Williams delivered a top-notch performance?

Fans were absolutely happy to see the iconic actor on the show who surprised them with his role so different from his most "good guy" roles he was known for.
