After just one episode, 'Precious' star Paula Patton has bowed out of her new role as an ADA on 'Law & Order: SVU.' The reason? She'll be in 'Mission Impossible 4.' Melissa Sagemiller of TNT's 'Raising the Bar' will replace Patton on the hit NBC series. Patton was tapped to play ADA Mikka Von on a recurring basis, but now she'll appear in one episode before Sagemiller takes on the recurring ADA role in October.
According to TV Guide, Sagemiller will be an ADA from Brooklyn who respects Stabler and Benson.

August Richards (Conviction) and Jonathan Scarfe (Into the West). Cigliuti will co-star with Gosselaar.
