Famous actor and rapper, Ice-T, reportedly said he was still reading over his script for the finale of “Law & Order: SVU’s” 25th season when his fellow co-stars jumped in to tell him his character would be shot.

Ice-T admitted he had not yet completed his read-through of the script when he received the spoiler-alert that left him fearful for his character’s life and his remaining time on the show in an exclusive interview with People. The whisperings made him nervous about what was to come, and whether or not his role had come to an end.

“I was reading the pages. I didn’t know,” he told the outlet. “So I’m here in the script, and everybody’s like, ‘You’re getting shot!’ I’m like, ‘What?’ That could be BAD,” he recalled during a recent interview with People.

The famous actor was relieved when he discovered his character, Detective Fin Tutuola, was injured but knot killed of.

“I lived through it,” he told People.

He admitted to the outlet of being surprised about the series of events that unfolded before filming of the season began.

The star was shot in the “Duty to Hope” episode, after being confronted by the son of a perpetrator just outside of his own apartment.

The shooting scene unfolds with the boy shouting “don’t move!” at Fin while he is taking out the trash outside.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, kid, take it easy, take it easy” Fin said, as he offered his wallet to the boy, assuming he was being robbed.

Fin quickly realizes the situation is more complex than he first believed it to be when the boy says, “You put my dad in jail. I saw you on TV today. I found your address online.

“Your dad? Let me guess, your last name is Hedges,” Ice-T’s character says in the clip.

Fin asks the boy, Toby, to take his finger off the trigger and asks him not to shoot.

“Because if you do, both you and your dad will be in jail, and I wont be able to help get him out,” he says.

“His lawyer’s stupid, you’re stupid! And if I shoot you, at least he’ll know how much I love him!” Toby said. Fin seized the opportunity to attempt to disarm him, but the gun goes off and he’s shot.

The scene becomes intense as Toby cries out, “I didn’t mean to!” when he realizes he has shot Fin.

Ice-T’s character responds with an unexpected one-liner that alters the plot entirely.

“Get out of here. I won’t say anything to anyone. Go!” he shouts at the boy. (RELATED: ‘Chemistry Is Undeniable’: Mariska Hargitay Admits To Feeling The Heat With ‘Law And Order: SVU’ Co-Star)

This scene marks the second time in 24 years that Fin’s character is shot and injured, People reported.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
