Beach joins 'Law & Order: SVU'

Actor to become regular on hit NBC show

"Flags of Our Fathers" thesp Adam Beach is joining the cast of "Law & Order: SVU."

Beach's other credits include "Windtalkers," "Joe Dirt" and "Mystery, Alaska." He'll also appear in upcoming CBS mini "Comanche Moon," the Eye's follow-up to "Lonesome Dove."
