The Modern Family star says she has watched every SVU episode multiple times. "It's just such an incredible show, it really is," Winter said. "And I know they have so many, so many, so many fans because the show is so amazing and moving, and their characters and Mariska (Hargitay)—literally everybody—but also, like, Mariska. What a queen." But after filming a guest appearance for tonight's episode, Winter says the experience "changed how I thought about a lot of things, how I looked at a lot of things...And working with Mariska, just as an actress, the way that she pushed me was—I mean, amazing. She pushed me in a way I haven't been pushed before." ALSO: Winter says she was "obviously incredibly nervous" working on a drama after a decade on Modern Family.
