Son, Dante Amadeo, born January 2, 2004

His two best known characters are on opposite sides of the law. On "Oz" (1997), he played Chris Keller, a bisexual, perverted serial killer who terrorizes his fellow prisoners. On _"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (1999)_ , he plays Elliot Stabler, a sex-crimes cop so protective of his family and so intense in his hatred of criminals like Keller that he fantasizes about "getting away" with killing them. Ironically, Meloni's acting background is mainly in comedy.

Is often said to resemble a young Robert De Niro.

Particularly early on in his career, he was often confused for actor Elias Koteas.

Meloni and his wife live in New York City and have two children, Sophia and Dante, both born to them by a surrogate mother.

Signed a deal to continue "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (1999) for two more seasons in which he will be paid $6.5 million annually (2007).

An accomplished card shark.
