NBC viewers will see a familiar face when they watch tonight’s episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”: Eric McCormack, who starred in the network’s long-running comedy “Will & Grace.”  He’ll be playing a much different role, though: A man whose online dating relationship leads him to become a murder suspect.  And while Eric’s been absent from NBC’s airwaves since “Will’s” farewell in 2006, he told us it was always just a matter of time before he’d be seen on “SVU.”

While “Will & Grace” lasted for eight seasons, “SVU” is now in its 11th year, and McCormack told us there’s a similar thread that runs between the shows and their longevity — the relationships between the lead actors.
