Spoiler Alert: Smith plays a tough-love sports agent named Ted Hunter who is found stabbed to death on the next episode of NBC's Law & Order. It premieres Thursday, May 8 at 8 p.m.
In a description of the episode, the 21st of the show's 24th season, NBC says the murder leaves the squad "with a trail of suspects who wanted him gone; despite a wealth of evidence, Price and Maroun worry that a lack of motive will tank their case."
Smith has described Law & Order as one of his all-time favorite shows.
The 57-year-old Smith, a Bronx native who hosts the daily First Take show on ESPN, has also been wearing a new hat of late.
He's added political commentator to his repertoire, and has even been mentioned by some as a possible Democratic candidate for president in 2028.
Asked about that by CNN's Jake Tapper in a recent interview, Smith said, "'Do I believe I could win? You're damn right."
