As the series of award ceremonies roll on, so do the buzzworthy moments that follow. The most recent one hails from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, airing in Netflix’s 2025 lineup, and it revolved around none other than Law & Order. When Keke Palmer graced the stage, she jokingly invited anyone who had ever appeared in the Law and Order universe to join her for a drink. And wouldn’t you know it, seeing celebrities like Timothèe Chalamet and Elle Fanning take her up on that offer was quite a surprise!
It’s common knowledge that many prominent actors graced the screens of Law and Order before achieving stardom, but the sheer number of celebrities who appeared on this long-running series is quite astonishing. Interestingly, Palmer, the one making the joke, is also an alumnus of Law & Order, specifically from SVU’s Season 7, Episode 10. Therefore, as you watch Akeelah and the Bee’s co-star, along with presenting partner Colman Domingo, humorously introduce the cheers in the video below, it becomes evident just how significant a stepping stone the Dick Wolf-created universe has become.

Observing the audience’s reaction while the actress from Nope playfully mentioned names like Zoe Saldaña and the entire The Bear crew left me utterly astonished.
After everyone in the room had a hearty chuckle, the actor from Sing Sing further added to the enjoyment by producing a flask, thus joining the ranks of many other alumni from Law & Order. To conclude, they raised a toast to all the guest stars gracing Hollywood.
It’s a delightful moment highlighting the significance of guest stars in shows like ‘Law & Order’. Landing a cameo on NBC’s series is undeniably an exciting step forward for aspiring actors trying to make it big in Hollywood. Witnessing a crowd of established performers supporting Palmer’s game reinforces this notion, and it’s truly awe-inspiring and humbling. An added bonus is seeing the emergence of a new generation of talented actors on the upcoming ‘Law & Order’ series airing in 2025.
Curious about which top celebrities belong to the Law & Order family? Here’s your answer:
1. Samuel L. Jackson as Detective William Dodson in “Law & Order” (Season 2)
2. Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe in “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”

- In 2009, Timothée Chalamet played Eric Foley in Season 19, Episode 10 of Law & Order.
- Colman Domingo was in one episode of Law & Order: Trial by Jury in 2006 (Season 1, Episode 13), two episodes of Law & Order in 2004 (Season 14, Episode 17) and 2008 (Season 19, Episode 6) and two episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2006 (Season 5, Episode 20) and 2010 (Season 9, Episode 7).
- Zoe Saldaña was in one episode of Law & Order in 1999 (Season 9, Episode 24) and one episode of Law & Order: SVU in 2004 (Season 5, Episode 21).
- In 2006, Elle Fanning played Eden in Season 8, Episode 8 of Law & Order: SVU

Just as it consistently does, the cherished and continually expanding franchise continues to nurture the rise of future cinematic titans in Hollywood.
Clearly, with seven series set within this world and spanning close to 35 years, it’s not surprising that many of those recognized faces gave a knowing smile to Palmer’s quip. Despite being tailored for them, bravo to the former Alice cast member (and Euphoria actor) for highlighting the subtle influence of Law & Order in Tinseltown.
One Of Them Days Review: Keke Palmer And SZA Bring Best Friend Energy In Hilarious Buddy Comedy
The humor displayed by Keke Palmer jokingly asking a crowd of celebrities if they had ever worked on Law & Order, and the responses from stars such as Chalamet and Fanning, is delightful and slightly awkward – exactly the kind of endearing content I’d love to see more of at future award ceremonies.
As a fan, I highly recommend catching the delightful tribute to “Law & Order” and its star-studded cast by streaming the SAG Awards, which is possible with a Netflix subscription. For those who want to keep up with the latest episodes of “Law & Order’s” diverse series and discover rising stars who might one day follow in the footsteps of Palmer’s jovial toast comrades, I suggest checking out all the shows on Peacock with a subscription.
