In the decade prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a fairly regular occurrence to hear about movies making $1 billion at the global box office – but that has changed significantly in the last few years.

Right as Christopher Meloni was starting his work on Law and Order: SVU as Detective Elliot Stabler, the actor had another big acting gig in front of him.

If you were a kid growing up in the ’90s—especially in the Midwest like I was—thunderstorms were more than just a reason to seek cover.
