"I've made it through so much in my life," the Law & Order: SVU star told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "I don't wanna die because of this, and especially with a new daughter. So, yeah, I'm aware, and I'm concerned, and I'm cautious. If you wanna call that scared, call it scared." Ice-T added: "It's easy to say, 'Oh, I can't catch it,' but once you know people — I mean, Jimmy, I know about eight people that have actually passed away. So, I mean, I don't need much more proof than that to know I don't want to play with it, you know?"
