Dear Mr. Karl,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting.  My favorite tv show that you played in was Law And Order SVU. Law and Order SVU has an interesting plot about the Special Victims Unit of detectives where they work on dealing with sex crimes while the prosecutor prosecute people who commit the crimes.   In Season 17 of Law And Order SVU, I enjoyed Sergeant Mike Dodds working with Lieutenant  Benson, Detective Rollins, Detective Fin, Detective Carisi, and ADA Rafael Barba on different cases. Mr. Karl, I thought you did an excellent job portraying as Sergeant Mike Dodds because I liked on how you made Sergeant Dodds have a great traits like willing to review different evidence including witness statements to solve a case and working to resolve differences with different detectives when they disagree about how the case is going.  Another thing was in season 17 of Law And Order SVU I thought you did a great job with the rest of the cast doing a crossover with Chicago P.D. on solving the case.   At the end of Season 17 I was sad that your character left Law And Order SVU because you really did a great job making Sergeant Dodds a great fit for the show.  Besides enjoying your acting in Law And Order SVU, I enjoy watching you on youtube where you explain what it is like being a Broadway actor in the plays. Another thing is I appreciate on how you are an activism to help support the arts to make education including diversity a better place.

Mr. Karl, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me due to have some struggles like trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your activism to improve diversity and support the arts really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actor and you do such a great job making your character have interesting traits. You really did an excellent job in Law And Order SVU making season 17 a great season and your character Sergeant Dodds have great traits.  Even though you left the show, I was very proud on how you made the episodes of Law And Order SVU great.  I hope someday you can star in different tv shows because you are very talented and really do such an excellent job making characters interesting or unique. I was wondering  if you could please take the time to share what it was like playing in Law And Order SVU or giving me some advice about acting.  Mr. Karl, you inspired me to be a fan of your character in Law And Order SVU and learn more about your life as a Broadway actor. Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me and also here is $5 is for you to use to donate to fund the arts or a theatre to make the arts including entertainment a better place.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job acting, and inspiring me. I wish you well for the future in acting and to do well on your Broadway show.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
