Hargitay continued, “It’s been such a joy working with you and getting to know your beautiful heart. I love your spirit and I love you. Happy happy birthday! 🎉🎂🎊🎈.” The actress also included the hashtags “#BestKidEver,” “#Benoah” and “#MyNoah.”

The birthday boy later took to his own Instagram, sharing a photo of himself nailing a handstand in a beautiful snowy tundra, exclaiming, “13! Grateful for all of you, your wishes and love!”
Buggle hails from New Jersey, and the young actor joined the Law & Order: SVU cast in 2017 when he was just 7 years old. He has since become an irreplaceable part of the Benson family, even appearing in two episodes of Law & Order: Organized Crime.
Happy birthday, Ryan!
