- His two best known characters are on opposite sides of the law. On "Oz" (1997), he played Chris Keller, a bisexual, perverted serial killer who terrorizes his fellow prisoners. On _"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (1999)_, he plays Elliot Stabler, a sex-crimes cop so protective of his family and so intense in his hatred of criminals like Keller that he fantasizes about "getting away" with killing them. Ironically, Meloni's acting background is mainly in comedy.
- Meloni and his wife live in New York City and have two children, Sophia and Dante, both born to them by a surrogate mother.
- Son, Dante Amadeo, born January 2, 2004
- First child, daughter Sophia Eva Pietra, born in Los Angeles. (23 March 2001)
- Born in Washington, District of Columbia
