Adam Beach is an actor who played Detective Chester Lake in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Beach made guest appearances as Detective Lake in the season eight episodes "Outsider" and "Screwed". His first, and only, season as a regular cast member was season nine.
Beach commented on the show in a 2013 interview which was later reprinted in the May/June 2017 interview he did for Cowboys & Indians Magazine: "When non-Native actors play Native roles, Hollywood is telling the world that we're not good enough to star as our own people. What was so amazing about my role as a Mohawk on [SVU] was that the series creator Dick Wolf acknowledged that New York City was constructed by a lot of Mohawk iron workers, so why not bring in a truthful character who represents that history and is also a well-respected detective."
