Ahead of Law & Order: Organized Crime’s return with season 2 this fall, ET has learned that Ron Cephas Jones and Vinnie Jones have joined the cast in recurring roles. The two actors join Chris Meloni, who first returned as Elliot Stabler in season 1.
According to NBC, Jones, who recently won his second Emmy for his performance on This Is Us, will play Congressman Leon Kilbride. He’s a “born politician who fosters connections and always plays his cards right.”
Meanwhile, Jones, the British actor famous for his roles in Snatch and Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels, has been cast as Albi Briscu, “an Eastern European gangster who is the last remaining member of the organization from the old country.”
Following the news, Jones took to Twitter to share his excitement about joining the series. “I’ve done a few days with Chris Meloni and he’s absolutely brilliant — absolutely lovin’ it,” he said in the video.
