Tracy Morrow (born February 16, 1958), better known by his stage name Ice-T, is an American musician and actor.

He was born in Newark, New Jersey, and moved to Crenshaw, Los Angeles, California, when he was in the seventh grade. After graduating from high school, he served in the United States Army for four years.

He began his career as a rapper in the 1980s and in 1987 signed with Sire Records when he released his debut album Rhyme Pays. The following year he founded the record label Rhyme Syndicate Records (named after his collective of fellow hip-hop artists called Rhyme Syndicate) and released another album, Power. He co-founded the thrash metal band Body Count, which he introduced on his 1991 album O.G.: Original Gangster. Body Count released their self-titled debut album in 1992. Ice-T faced controversy over his track "Cop Killer," which was perceived as glorifying the killing of police officers. Ice-T asked to be released from his contract with Warner Bros. Records, and his next solo album Home Invasion was released later in the fall of 1993 through Priority Records. The next Body Count album was released in 1994, and Ice-T released two more albums in the late 1990s.

Since 2000 he has portrayed NYPD detective Odafin Tutuola in the NBC police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
