All the Ways Mariska Hargitay Is a Real-Life Olivia Benson

Mariska and the former vice president of the United States worked together in a season 18 episode to talk about the issue of backlogged rape kits. In real life, the two have come together numerous times to shed light on sexual assault in the US. Biden was even honored by Mariska's Joyful Heart Foundation in 2015 for his commitment to stopping domestic violence and sexual assault.
