Mariska Hargitay Praises Castmates in Smiley Selfies: 'Beautiful Humans'

These three are two cute!

It's a good day to be Mariska Hargitay's castmate!

The Law and Order: SVU star is hyping up two of her television colleagues in a show of sweet support following the most recent episode to air, and we're not jealous of her love at all.

She shared a pair of smiley group selfies from the seats of a theater—perhaps taken during a brief period of downtime on set—with Hargitay sitting a row ahead of Peter Scanavino, who plays Detective Sonny Carisi, and Octavio Pisano, who plays Detective Joe Velasco.

"How lucky am I to have these two beautiful humans by my side?" she asked in the caption, tagging them both. "I love respect and admire you both so much."

She went on to thank them both for beautiful performances in the episode she directed, titled "King of the Moon," which aired last night (Feb. 23). "Thank you for trusting me and thank you for just making everything better."

The heartfelt post follows one from Pisano, calling Hargitay's directing capabilities a "master class" alongside a photo of the actor-turned-director watching the action through a tiny camera screen on set.

"There’s no greater gift for an Actor than a Director who sees beneath the surface, demands nothing less than pure authenticity and expects you to leave a part of your soul on set……because she does," he wrote, marveling over the fact that, after 24 years, Hargitay's care for the show has only grown.

"Her passion and drive are contagious and elevate anyone who’s in a scene with her," he added, noting he's "never...felt so encouraged, guided, and most importantly… SEEN, in a scene" before.

Fellow SVU cast and crew members were quick to agree with Pisano's sentiments.

Actress Molly Burnett wrote that his words were "perfectly put" and show writer David Graziano added, "Well said, brother 🔥."

Jasmine Batchelor agreed as well, commenting, "Love this post. You killed it!!!!!"
