After 12 years of starring in the NBC legendary show, “Law & Order: SVU”, one of the shows leading stars, Christopher Meloni announced he is quitting. Why? He wants to move on to bigger opportunities. He revealed he wants to do Hollywood films full time after he leaves the show.

While most would find it sad that Chris is leaving for a movie career, I don’t find it sad at all as I’m actually happy for him. I always find him very talented and he is a great actor, I think he’s going to make a great movie star.

Stars that leave TV shows do go on to become big movie stars like what happened to Tom Hanks and Robin Williams. Will Smith (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and Jim Carrey (In Living Color) also left their shows for movies.

If you think Chris Meloni is going to have a failed movie career in the future, I don’t think he will. He will do good, trust me. I’ve seen Chris’s both TV shows with HBO’s “Oz” and “L&O: SVU”. I’m cetainly looking forward to seeing what his first movie role is going to be and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’ll star in some crime action drama film.
