Last November, Questlove informed readers of Us Weekly that one of his lifelong dreams is to play a dead body on Law & Order: SVU. That dream is now a reality. Questo-as-corpse got 17 seconds of screen time on last night’s episode, playing dead convincingly during a tense exchange between Ice-T, Tamara Tunie, and Kelli Giddish. As CoS points out, Alec Baldwin also appeared in the episode as a racist. See the Roots leader’s appearance below, or find the full episode at Hulu, though you should be advised that things just ain’t the same since Stabler left.
