Ice-T<\/a>‘s daughter may just be his youngest fan! ET’s Rachel Smith spoke to the\u00a0<\/span>Law & Order: SVU<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>star at the show’s 25th season event in New York City on Tuesday, and the actor and his wife, <\/span>Coco Austin<\/a>, revealed that their 8-year-old daughter, Chanel, watches the series.<\/span><\/p>\n “She goes, ‘Oh, there’s Kelli… There’s Mariska,'” Coco told ET of her husband’s co-stars, <\/span>Kelli Giddish<\/a> and <\/span>Mariska Hargitay<\/a>. “She sees it in a totally different way. I think she’s so used to seeing Daddy on TV, though. She’s like, ‘Oh, there’s Daddy again. Oh, he’s on a commercial. Oh, there he is again.'”<\/span><\/p>\n Ice-T chimed in, saying of his daughter, “My favorite, best compliment from Chanel was she wants to be like me on TV.”<\/span><\/p>\n As for whether Chanel has the acting bug, Ice-T quipped, “She’s got some kind of bug.”<\/span><\/p>\n “She’s very much a performer. She’s an entertainer,” Coco agreed of her daughter, who will soon appear on\u00a0<\/span>their family’s upcoming reality show<\/a>. “She will sit there and entertain you for hours.”<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ice-T has been entertaining people for decades on <\/span>SVU<\/span><\/em>, having starred as Fin since season 2 in 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n “This show is part entertainment and also it’s part therapy for a lot of people, because a lot of women are victims, they’ve been through it, and in this show they might see the justice that they didn’t see in their real life,” Ice-T told ET of the reason for the show’s lasting impact. “I think it’s a little bit more than entertainment. It has another level.”<\/span><\/p>\n “In our show, the victims are still alive, so I think this reaches a lot of people a little bit different than just basic entertainment, and even in music,” he added. “When you can reach somebody with something that they feel it grabs them.”<\/span><\/p>\n Season 25 of\u00a0<\/span>Law & Order: SVU\u00a0<\/span><\/em>will premiere Jan. 18 on NBC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
