Star Jones Reynolds has landed another gig.
This go round, the former co-host of ABC's 'The View' will play herself in the star-studded season finale of NBC's 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.'
The episode, titled "Screwed" -- airing May 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT -- will be a follow-up to last season's acclaimed episode starring hip-hop superstar Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
The 'Crash' star reprises his role as Darius Parker, the step-son of Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (played by Ice-T) and son of Teresa Randall (played by guest star LisaGay Hamilton), who is on trial -- a year later -- for the brutal murder of a woman and her baby. Darius is back to settle a score with his family and is now represented by defense attorney, who is a former police officer, who has an incredible record for getting his clients cleared.
"It's so cool to be returning to work with the Law & Order: SVU family," Bridges said. "My first experience was so great and I am honored that they have asked me to return for the season finale. Once again, the amazing script and the talented cast immediately made me accept their offer. I look forward to reprising my role on the show and giving the audience a big bang finale that they will never forget!"
Although Jones Reynolds, a former prosecutor and lawyer, has become a household name since joining 'The View' in 1997, this 'Law & Order' appearance marks her acting debut.
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is my favorite show on television, I have never missed an episode since its premiere," she said. "When I was asked to appear on the show I immediately accepted the honor without hesitation. I am very excited to work alongside the incredibly talented cast and crew ... as well as the brilliant Dick Wolf."
Court TV personality Nancy Grace will also appear in the episode, along with Steven Weber, Ernest Waddell, Vincent Spano, Judith Light, and Michael Weston.

I loved Star on the View and didn't watch it for a long while after she left. I enjoyed see the opinions of a REAL black woman and not a yes woman. Barbara Walters put her onwn spin on Stars leaving and some of you chose to believe the Bull*** As for Rosie I can take or leave her. Back to Ms Jones people can't take and intelligent arrogant black woman who speaks her mind if your over weight they discount your opinions.Skinny Star was scarry to the masses they could no longer discount her. The TRUTH hurts America and Ms Jones spoke from her heart and told like she saw it . BRAVO BRAVO. I will always see you as a determine tough lady who handle her business. Good Luck to you and Al,Don't let the haters tear you apart.
