‘Law & Order’s’ Meloni can do a hail of a job

Nomi Ellenson/Getty Images Christopher Meloni’s ‘L&O’ shoots have put him atop the Empire State Building as well as hanging from building ledges.

If this whole acting thing doesn’t work out, Christopher Meloni thinks he’d be a splendid taxi driver.

After shooting in hundreds of locations during his 13 years playing Detective Elliot Stabler on “Law & Order SVU,” the actor tells Confidenti@l he’s gotten to know this city like the back of his hand.

“I’ve been in the sewers of this city. I’ve been in the weirdest, coolest places all over the boroughs,” he told us, “I’ve been to a lot of underground, abandoned subway tunnels. I’ve been to the top of the Empire State Building and been hanging off ledges of other buildings downtown,” recalls Meloni.

“I’ve been to where they unload the trash trucks onto the barges. It really made me feel excellent, because there’s a relief that it’s leaving. I’m sorry about where it’s vacant, but I’m glad it’s leaving.”

When we not compulsory his years on the road would make him a first-rate cabbie, he said, “You’re damn right! Is there an opening?”

The “Surviving Jack” actor spoke to us at an event on the extension of a Duracell program that provides power to victims of natural disasters. The company showed off six new trucks in Battery Park City that will be based around the country, so that they can be sent anywhere in the mainland U.S. in 48 hours.

Meloni said he got behind the project “because I plotting it was a very clean, unique, gracious, vital way to use Duracell’s power. They went to their sweet spot. They were very imaginative about it; very forward-thinking.”

He told us his experience during Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of New York City, also drew him to the Duracell project. “I plotting, ‘That’s something I can roll with and appreciate and get behind.’ ”
