CAROL KANE, NICK STAHL TO GUEST STAR ON NBC'S 'LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT' Kane to Reprise Role as Detective Munch's Ex-Wife in Season Finale Episode to Air Tuesday, June 2
NEW YORK – May 26, 2009 – Two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Carol Kane will guest-star in the season finale of NBC'S "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," executive producer Neal Baer announced today. Kane reprises her role as Gwen Munch, the ex-wife of Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer), who last appeared with him in an episode of NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1997. "Zebras," SVU's season finale, will be telecast on NBC Tuesday, June 2 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT).
In "Zebras," a young woman is killed in Central Park, and when a clerical error ruins the case, the police rush to find more evidence before the killer takes revenge on the squad.
"We're thrilled to have Gwen Munch return to her true love, Detective John Munch, to help lead him to a deranged killer (Nick Stahl) who is after a member of the SVU family," said Baer.
In addition, Nick Stahl guest-stars as Peter Harrison, a once promising young artist who is now lost in the paranoia of mental illness. Fearing SVU Detectives are persecuting him, he turns on them after he may have murdered an innocent young mother.
Here is the information for all three episodes.

I don't see a preview for L&O so, in the absence of more info, methinks the top politician's wife may be Rita Shalvoy (Allison Elliot) who implied she had her own political ambitions in Excaliber. I can't wait to see this ep!
Is it me, or does NBC promote the Mothership far less than SVU, or far less than USA promotes CI? Maybe I'm hyper-sensitive because the original is still my favorite, but it seems as if you find less things from NBC to post re the MS than you do SVU, such as those behind the scenes clips you posted the other day from SVU.
Anonymous, I think you have an excellent point re Rita Shalvoy. She may end up being the downfall of her husband...
Can't wait to see Gwen Munch reunited with John... it's gonna be fun!
Shelly, it's not you. NBC does a horrible job in promoting Law & Order. How hard could it be for them to post a video clip or a photo from the episode here or there? They provide virtually nothing. Maybe ratings would be better if they actually showed that they themselves believed in the show?
Also, the stars themselves never do anything to promote the show. I don't recall ever seeing one member of that current cast of Law and Order on Jay Leno, David Letterman, Entertainment Tonight or even one of the morning talk shows. If they were, it was probably a long time ago. I believe when Jerry Orbach passed away. Its amazing L&O is one of the longest running shows on TV and no one seems to care to give it respect.
Excuse me, I stand corrected. My friend just informed me that the TV Guide Channel did an hour long show on the cast and show of L&O a couple of months ago. I unfortunately did not see it. I don't watch the TV Guide Channel. Still it would be nice if one of the prime shows would have them on.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who noticed NBC's lack of publicity for the MS. I know the devoted fans will find it, but the casual fans who MIGHT tune in if they knew it were on, are the ones NBC is losing.
Does anyone know if there's any way to see that TV Guide Channel special, or if there's any way to find clips of the show? We don't get the TV Guide Channel anymore, and even when we did, we never watched... lol...
Do you have any friends that get the TV Guide Channel. Maybe they will air a rerun over the summer. Perhaps someone you know can tape it. If not you could always try contacting TV Guide Channelto see if its possible to get a tape. That is if you want to pay for it.
For what it's worth, NBC actually has provided a preview clip for the finale as well as a few photos.
