In Ice-T’s house, it’s Halloween all the time.
Ice-T, who is 66 years old, stated exclusively to Us Weekly that his entire family are fans of horror. He revealed his obsession with Terrifier 3 and mentioned how his 9-year-old daughter, Chanel, even dressed up as a character from the film for Halloween, showcasing how much they enjoy the genre.
The Terrifier movie series, first released in 2016, is a slasher film centered around Art the Clown, a murderous character. Ice-T’s daughter reimagined Art for Halloween in October 2024, as shared by his wife, Coco Austin, on Instagram. Ice-T, known for his role on Law and Order: SVU, also embraced the killer clown look for the holiday, demonstrating their family’s deep connection to the chilling film.
Ice-T, renowned for his successful rap career, also has a great appreciation for music. Notably, he is a huge fan of The Delfonics, showcasing his diverse taste across different forms of entertainment.
An old-school group, great music — it’s from back when people actually sang, you know, three-part harmony,” he explained to Us. “It just reminds me of growing up.”
However, Ice-T’s interests go way beyond horror films — and oldies. He also cannot stop watching American Greed.
“It’s a show about white-collar crime and just greedy people,” Ice-T explained to Us. “They take people’s IRA savings, they take old people’s money. They’re cold.”
It’s a miracle Ice-T finds any time to sit down and relax since he’s still starring as Sergeant Odafin “Fin” Tutuola in SVU, a role he’s held since 2000. The show is on season 26 and, according to Ice-T, he has no plans to stop starring in the NBC series.
“I don’t see any reason why SVU can’t go 30 [seasons],” he told Us exclusively in June 2024. “I think the show will stay on as long as Mariska [Hargitay] wants to do the show. It’s her show.”
At the time, the cast was still on a high from their milestone 25th season. Of course, Ice-T is currently well into season 26 with the rest of the cast — and they have a barrage of new viewers.
“I think last season we caught a whole other wind of fans, and everybody got in it, and the ratings were great,” Ice-T also gushed to Us, noting that he’s “very fortunate” that audiences are still watching.
Law & Order: SVU season 26 airs on NBC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and is streaming the next day on Peacock.
