Mariska Hargitay says Kate Moss wanted to appear on Law & Order: SVU as a dead body, turning down a speaking role producers created for her.

"Look man, this role is just a side gig for me. I'm just gonna lay here, and pretend to be dead. I get to have a few minutes of peace, doing absolutely nothing for 3 minutes, and make more money than the average American makes in 3 years. I don't want a speaking part. That would be like.....work. I just want to rest, and you guys get to advertise that Kate Moss was on your show."

This is the vibe I get from celebrities most of the time. She, as an actress, turned down a cameo role, because she, as an actress would have had to act. And that's too much.

Meanwhile I've worked in factories for $9 an hour, in 130F heat. Fucking hell.

To be clear, this is not a real quote from the article.

Acting dead is not as easy as it sounds, and it may be a day of availability. The difference is that your factory makes a set amount from your shift, while a studio can sell your TV work again and again over an extended period.

Seems odd to complain about someone making easy money while arguing that your own job shouldn't be so hard. It's like how people complain about low wages and people living in poverty but the moment that person in poverty starts earning a higher wage, they're suddenly cast out and deemed "part of the problem" since they're not living in poverty anymore.

she, as an actress

I'm gonna stop you there. She's not an actress. She's a model. She has never acted in a meaningful capacity, and her IMDB credits are either cameos as herself, playing Kate Moss the famous model, or non-speaking roles as a generic model.

would have had to act. And that's too much.

I mean, maybe. She might not have any acting skill whatsoever.

It's funny because I always wanted to play a cadaver on a police drama as well.

Zombie movies can offer roles that unite speaking with being dead.

I think that there's something of a binary distinction between speaking and non-speaking parts under SAG union rules. Like, it gets significantly more expensive more expensive once someone speaks.

I'm not sure whether a zombie moaning crosses the line into a speaking part.

The only movie role I want is to be a zombie in a zombie movie. I want to just shuffle around and groan with make up making me look dead. That is if I ever had a movie role.

Whatever happened to those “Zombie runs” from the early 2000s?

In The Netherlands we had a long running detective and basically if you hadn't played a victim you weren't an established actor yet.

Wasn't Daisy Ridley's first on camera role playing a cadaver?

EDIT: BBC's Silent Witness.

Maybe she saw that one episode of Sunny and thought Dee's part in it was so funny she wanted to try the same
