Chris Meloni – From Daunting Detective to Show Dropout

None would deny that Chris Meloni’s performance on the crime drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Elliot Stabler was a visual treat! Loyal fans of the NBC series were broken-hearted when the formidable actor bid farewell to the show. The reason for his departure would surely take you by surprise.

Meloni abandoned his highest-paying on-screen appearance after unpleasant disagreements with the producers over his salary. The program heads weren’t ready to offer him an enormous remuneration. Chris trying to get more money may seem understandable, but perhaps he could’ve curtailed the exorbitant amount he was demanding.
