Several unrelated updates.

First, a reminder that Law & Order: SVU 11×05, “Hardwired,” airs tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9/8c on NBC. The previews are here. Garret plays the head of a pedophilia organization and hopefully neither of the two people with ER credits to their name (Mariska Hargitay, Joel de la Fuente) will get to shoot him this time.

Second, if you’re in Texas, you can catch The Road at the Austin Film Festival on Wednesday, October 28th at 9:30 p.m [Austinist.com]
