Last month, Ice-T told PEOPLE aboutfirst meetingHargitay, 60, on the set ofLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitin 2000.
“It wasn’t like some holy meeting. She was just another actress to me at that time,” said the 65-year-old rapper. “When I met [Mariska], I had done more work than her. So, I was kind of like the boss when I walked on the set. But then I found out how wonderful she is and how gracious she is, and now I can’t think of working with somebody else.”
“She’s so great. What started with her andChris [Meloni]andDann Florek, it was a great place. But when I walked in there? I’m Ice-T, movie star, like, ‘What’s happening?’ No, I didn’t say that to them. That was just my feeling,” he said with a chuckle. “And 25 years — it’s very rare that you can work daily with somebody and not get on each other’s nerves. But Mariska’s just a sweetheart. And I’m very, very lucky to have her as a castmate.”
He continued, “She’s a wonderful person. Forget Olivia Benson. [But] I think what happened is when she started to do the show, she morphed into Olivia Benson withJoyful Heartand all that kind of stuff. But that’s truly who she is."

“She’s funny, too,” he said. “We don’t get to show funniness on our show. Our show is very dark. But Mariska? I’m trying to get her onSNL.”
And, if Hargitay hosts, Ice-T knows the perfect accompaniment: “I could be musical guest!"
