Special Agent George Huang is a fictional character on the TV drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He is portrayed by B.D. Wong.
Dr. George Huang is introduced in the season 2 episode "Pique". He is an FBI Agent, who is originally loaned to Manhattan SVU, and later becomes their resident forensic psychiatrist and criminal profiler. He provides them with expert analysis of crime scenes and suspects. His vast knowledge of forensic psychology and psychopathology lends him a preternatural ability to understand, empathize with, and predict the actions of suspects as well as victims. He also has extensive knowledge in the fields of theology, ethnology, and forensics, and speaks fluent Chinese.
Despite a rocky start with the SVU detectives, they come to trust Huang. However, his opinion is not always appreciated. He sometimes agrees with the diagnoses of mental illness provided by defense attorneys and their psychiatrists, making it harder for the Assistant DAs who work with the precinct to prosecute criminals.
Like the detectives, however, Huang has empathy first and foremost with victims of sexual assault, particularly children. He is usually very calm, soft-spoken, and even-tempered, except in a few notable occasions (see below). As a psychiatrist, he sometimes offers his expertise to the detectives themselves, by helping them with any emotional problems they may have. One notable example is the season 6 episode "Charisma". After the detectives see that several children have been murdered in a cult leader's home, Huang sits down with each of the detectives individually to talk them through how they are feeling.
