Which actor portrayed forensic psychiatrist George Huang?

George Huang was portrayed by B.D. Wong on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Huang is introduced as an FBI agent loaned to Manhattan’s Special Victims Unit and later becomes the squad’s resident forensic psychiatrist and criminal profiler. His expertise helps detectives interpret suspects’ behavior, evaluate mental illness, and understand the psychology of sexual predators and their victims.

The character often creates tension with prosecutors because his professional conclusions do not always support a conviction. Huang may determine that a defendant is mentally ill, incompetent to stand trial, or less responsible for a crime than investigators believe. He also participates in interrogations, advising detectives on how to question suspects effectively.

B.D. Wong became closely associated with Huang through the character’s recurring appearances across many seasons. A common mix-up is confusing Wong with Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay, or Ice-T, who played major SVU detectives but never portrayed Huang. Wong has also appeared in films and series including Jurassic Park, Mr. Robot, and Gotham.
