I don't think Meloni is making a mistake leaving SVU.  That show is way past it's prime.  He's actualy a pretty versatile actor, remember him as Freakshow in that Harold & Kumar movie:

I've only heard that he decided not to return. I heard nothing of why he decided not to come back. Everything else immediately went to what would be up with Benson (Mariska Hargitay) without Stabler, and who would replace Meloni (last I heard the answer to that question was Danny Pino).

Harold and Kumar movies are not exactly my cuppa joe, but without having seen him, I would suspect that playing a character called Freakshow may well actually support my thinking that Chris Meloni's looks may tend to limit his roles. Hot as he is, this is a guy with a long narrow face and squinty eyes. Or, at least, he seems to squint a lot. This isn't Heath Ledger we're talking about here.

And who can forget his turn as Sven, the effeminate gay hotel clerk in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

During the run of the show, he was quite popular among bruthas, too.
