Speak with Peoplethe actor, 66, revealed that his castmates alerted him to the scene before he could read the script.

“I was reading the pages. I did not know. So I’m here in the script and everyone’s like, “You’re getting shot!” I’m like, “What?” That could be BAD,” he said.

His character, Fin, fortunately survived. “I’ve been through it,” he added.

Ice-T’s character was shot in the season 25 finale during a confrontation with a boy whose father was imprisoned by Fin.

Ice-T’s character was shot in the season 25 finale after a boy whose father was in prison confronted Fin outside his home.

The youngster approaches Fin with a gun and the duo end up fighting over the weapon before it shoots and hits Ice-T’s character.

This isn’t the first time Fin has been shot in the series; his character was also injured in season six.

The star of the hit series has previously expressed concerns about possible death.

During a recent interview with co-star Mariska Hargitay, he admitted that he was curious to see if his character would survive season 25.

“So when I get the script, I just look at it to make sure I don’t get shot and bleed to death. But I don’t know the arc of the season,” he said Entertainment weekly.

“He just wants to make sure he doesn’t die,” Mariska chimed in, laughing.

‘I want to make sure I don’t die. I got shot in this episode [in season 6]and as soon as I read it, I went like this, Mariska. [Ice-T pretends to frantically flip through an imaginary script in front of him, all the way to the end]’, Ice-T described.

‘I was like… “Oh, wow… I’m alive!” So we just didn’t know how the deck would be shuffled at this point. Mariska is out there now, she has no partner. Who will be her partner?’ he added.
