Richard Belzer Dead: ‘Homicide,’ ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Was 78 – The Hollywood Reporter That’s how I want to go. R.I.P., Belz.
Have been a fan since The Groove Tube. Loved his early SNL bit about Dylan at age 80 — "how does it feel, Mr. Big Shot?" (Sorry, couldn't find it online.) Det. Munch was mentioned a few times in this week's episode of L&OSVU. RIP, Belz.
Not that I believe in this stuff but if I did…I would think Lou Reed was waiting for him up there somewhere. RIP
Louie Anderson and now Beltzer.....any hope of a WRONG GUYS 2 is history now! The main Beltzer memory I have is listening to Howard and Gilbert CONSTANTLY ripping on him back in the day, even though they were obviously cohorts. Always good for a laugh.
Ice T reminiscing about Munch just 3 days ago was the first thing I thought of when I saw the news on FB. Rest In Peace Munch yes I know he was a standup first
Never saw the cop show he was on but he was always a favorite comic of mine. Sorry to hear, dig his last words lol
RIP. I first saw him as a comedian on a regular show on Cinemax around 1984 or so, so I've always viewed him as a comedian first. Then when he went into acting it was cool he was branching out.
He was great in everything I saw him in. He was a perfect match with Christopher Walken. They should have had a series together. R.I.P. Mister Belzer
Rip ! I First saw him in the movie Night Shift . then of course Homicide:life on the streets . great last words.
His Dick Ballentine character on National Lampoon's "That's Not Funny, That's Sick" album is one of my favorites. R.I.P. Mr. Belzer and thanks for the years of laughter.
