“Yes, my name is Don Wild and I am a record producer/hitmaker,” Meloni tells EW.
I think in his mind, he may be a half-notch below Clive Davis.
Other than that, he’s part snake oil salesman, part mad genius."

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you get involved inMaxxx?
CHRISTOPHER MELONI:You know, that’s a question which has yet to be answered to my satisfaction.
It was originally written as a 74-year-old man, so I didn’t quite know how to take that.
I can play 70s now, I guess!
Yes, well said, well said, sir!
Did you have a hand in that?
I thought of him as a 58-year-old man who just does not accept that fact.
In his mind, he’s 26 and he’s 26!
[Laughs] That’s it!
I’ve been accused of pilfering Bono’s look, which I deny.
That was fun, to get earrings back in my earlobes.
And I got to dye my hair, and that was it.
In one of the early episodes, your character is involved in a failed menage a trois.
What was it like filming that scene?
They’re always very difficult.
All the humor, the attempt at the savage humor, helps, but it’s always very weird.
[Laughs]
How would you describe your own musical taste?
All over the map, everything from Radiohead to Tool.
I confess that I’m not too up to date on the latest and greatest.
The 1975 is the band that I’m listening to now.
I’m kind of a rock & roll person.
You’re returning to the Dick Wolf universe withLaw & Order: Organized Crime.
What can you say about that?
Do you think the show will reflect what’s going on at the moment?
That’s a loaded question.
There are so many things going on at the moment.
I mean, my God.
