From 1999 until 2016, Richard Belzer portrayed Detective John Munch in the crime drama.
Richard Belzer, the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actor, comedian, and author, has died. He was 78.
Bill Scheft, a former writer for The Late Show with David Letterman, confirmed the death. Scheft said Belzer died “peacefully with family by his side” at his house in Bozouls, southwest France.
Belzer has had numerous health concerns, including surviving testicular cancer in 1983, which inspired his HBO comedy show Another Lone Nut in 1997.
