Who did Zach Gilford play in Law and Order SVU? 

Actor Zach Gilford starred in the Law and Order SVU season six episode Contagious back in 2005 where he played Kevin Wilcox.

In the instalment, a family-of-three are involved in a car accident which leads to nine-year-old Holly having a medical exam.

It is during the tests that it comes to light that Holly had been abused and if she told anyone his identity, he would kill herself and her parents.

What made matters even worse was the fact Holly said the man who had raped her also admitted to killing another little girl, Laura Swift, who had gone missing.

It was up to Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) to figure out who was behind the attacks and initially, it was thought it was family friend and gym teacher Mark Dobbins (Daniel Hugh Kelly).

Dobbins is arrested for these crimes with another child coming forward with a sexual allegation, despite his continuous protests.

Eventually, Holly bursts into tears and says that it wasn’t him and the other child admits her parents had forced her to say he did it to her to try and get him convicted, thinking he was dangerous.

Benson and Stabler are more frustrated than ever until they take a closer look at some of Holly’s drawings, one of which is of someone who isn’t a gym teacher but someone on the lacrosse team at school.

It comes out that Holly had been purposefully hurting herself to get out of gym class for the past few weeks, indicating it was someone at the school.

Benson and Stabler were first pointed in the direction of Dobbins because of lacrosse team player Kevin who was really the culprit and tried to put them off the scent.

Kevin was later arrested and confessed to what he had done, pointing out where he buried Laura’s body.
