ONCE UPON A TIME's Eion Bailey to Guest on LAW & ORDER: SVU

The newly-transformed Pinocchio is headed to the streets of Manhattan.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Once Upon a Time star Eion Bailey has officially landed a guest gig on NBC's long-running procedural LAW & ORDER: SVU.

Bailey will go dark for the episode, playing Frank Patterson, "a veteran of the Iraq war with PTSD who is a key witness in an investigation of a sexual assault in a nightclub."

The episode is scheduled to air sometime in April.

For the original report, head on over to The Hollywood Reporter.

Bailey has a slew of small-screen credits to his name, including COVERT AFFAIRS, LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT, ER, and BAND OF BROTHERS.

Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIM'S UNIT is now in its fourteenth season. The program has received numerous accolades from community-based organizations for the social issues it tackles, and cast members are frequently recognized for the work they do off-screen to promote personal health and safety and other volunteer efforts and initiatives.

This hard-hitting and emotional series from NBC's LAW & ORDER brand chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes. Dedicated Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all, heads up the department with empathy and professionalism, all the while dealing with her difficult past - as a product of rape and a witness to her mother's grief, she can personally relate to each victim she tries to help.
