Actors Who Appeared On Law & Order Before They Were Stars

Rooney Mara Beat Up Fat People In Her Memorable Episode

Rooney Mara starred in a 2006 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit titled “Fat,” but she didn’t look back on the experience very fondly. During an interview with Allure magazine, she said the role was “so stupid” and explained: “Me and my boyfriend — although I [didn’t] look old enough to have a boyfriend — went and beat up these fat people, and at the end of the show you find out that I used to be obese and I hate fat people. It’s ridiculous. Who would ever do that? Who would beat someone up because they’re fat?”
