Underneath his outer layer, the 41-year-old actor wore a slightly darker sports coat and a matching pair of pants, as well as a light blue shirt and tie.

The performer tied off his outfit with a pair of leather shoes and carried a brown bag with him for much of the day’s filming.

At various points, the costars were seen wearing facial coverings to keep themselves safe while working with their fellow cast and crew members.

The twenty-second set of episodes have been airing ever since their premiere in November of last year.

Production on the series was significantly impacted by the onset of the global pandemic, with principal photography starting in September of 2020.

As a way of working around the effects that the lasting state of COVID-19 has had on the entertainment industry, NBCUniversal developed a set of protocols that were to be followed by all of their crews, including that of Law And Order: SVU.

Shift hours have been reduced for many production workers, and days were added to shooting schedules in order to keep things safe for everyone working on one of the company’s projects. 

The upcoming twenty-third season of the fan-favorite crime drama series does not currently have a set release date.
