Mariska Hargitay had another man stand in for hubby Peter Hermann during a photo op at the Joyful Heart Foundation’s gala at Cipriani 42nd Street Thursday.
Hargitay couldn’t find Hermann for a pic with Ali Wentworth, Debra Messing and her “Law & Order: SVU” co-stars Kelli Giddish, Danny Pino, Ice-T and his wife, Coco.
So she “grabbed the tallest man with dark hair and glasses” to complete the shot.
She jokingly introduced the astonished stranger to photographers as “Peter.”
