Sad news. I haven't seen him in much besides Homicide and SVU, but he always got the best lines.

Fin Tutuola: Why do we always get stuck looking for the needle in the haystack?
John Munch: Yeah, it's reminds me of the Easter egg hunts of my youth.
Fin Tutuola: Your family's Jewish, you guys don't hide eggs.
John Munch: I know, all those mindless hours of searching.



He's the one in the sunglasses. Godspeed, sir.




I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.
- Charlie Brooker

78. Damn, didn't realize he was that old.



Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

Interesting, multi talented man. Reading up on him a while back I was surprised at his age, but admit he certainly didn't look well in recent photos.

Earlier memories are of seeing his standup work and his visits with Howard Stern on the radio, who would tease him something awful about his wife's (Harlee McBride) movie career.

I was watching when this happened, and I wouldn't call it an accident. Hogan did this on purpose.



I remember Belzer most from Homicide: Life on the Street. I wasn't a big fan of Law & Order.

The sleeper hold was intentional along with him dropping like a sack of shit, but getting a skull fracture was not.

That floor wasn't made of rubber or sawdust. I can't see how Hogan thought he wasn't going to injure the man.

Sad news. People used to call me “Munch” a few years back, before i got married and gained some weight.

We did look like close relatives.

Rest in Peace, Munch.

Most here wouldn't agree with Belzer's libtard politics. Frankly, I think the Munch character's libertarian leanings were the writers' way of mocking people with those beliefs and I'm sure Belzer enjoyed playing the character for just that reason.

Yes! That hold where his neck was obviously in a very unnatural position, never mind the drop to the deck. Holy shit!

Memory Lane.
It hit me today when I first saw him. On "Thicke of the Night" , Alan Thicke's short lived talk show. I recall kind of liking it, then they changed it mid season and I stopped watching it. As did everyone else.
(also with Gilbert Gottfried, Arsenio Hall, Charles Flesicher (most people know from voice over work) and Rick Ducommun, who most people here probably remember from... Smile

One of the first times I saw him in a movie was Night Shift. Friggin' HILARIOUS!!! RIP, sir...

cas...if that's a reference to Die Hard, Belzer wasn't in that movie. Are you thinking Robert Davi/Big Johnson???



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Belzer was an entertaining guy. Funny and a good actor.

I think he did a skit where he spoofs Mick Jagger. Hilarious. I couldn’t find the one I’m thinking of, he was on stage, not in the round.
