Amanda Rollins is a fictional character in the NBC police procedural drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Played by Kelli Giddish, Rollins has been a mainstay on the show since season 13 and has become a fan favorite due to her complex characterization and relatable backstory.
Amanda Rollins was born in Georgia and grew up in a troubled home. Her parents were divorced, and she witnessed domestic violence at a young age. This experience led her to pursue a career in law enforcement, where she hoped to make a difference in the lives of victims.
Rollins joined the NYPD in 2005 and quickly rose through the ranks. She served in the Domestic Violence Unit before transferring to the Special Victims Unit in 2011.
Rollins is a strong and determined detective with a compassionate heart. She is known for her empathy towards victims, particularly those who have experienced sexual assault or child abuse. However, she can also be tough and assertive when necessary.
Rollins' personal life has been marked by challenges. She has struggled with PTSD following a traumatic incident on the job, and she has faced discrimination due to her gender. Despite these setbacks, Rollins has remained resilient and committed to her work.
Rollins has had several romantic relationships throughout the series. Notably, she was involved with Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr. (Peter Scanavino), her partner in the SVU. However, their relationship ended due to Carisi's inability to fully commit.
Rollins is also close to her fellow detectives, including Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), Fin Tutuola (Ice-T), and Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr. (Peter Scanavino). These relationships provide her with support and a sense of family.
Rollins has made a significant impact on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Her character has brought a fresh perspective to the show, and her personal experiences have helped to raise awareness about the importance of victim support.
Rollins' presence on the show has also helped to break down gender stereotypes. As a strong and capable female detective, she has inspired many viewers and shown that women can succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields.
