He was like the best character in Law & Order. His shenanigans made me laugh, but I was still able to take him seriously. Thank you, Richard Belzer.

His wild conspiracy theories he had on the shows too made it just so much more entertaining.
I loved it when they paired Munch with Lenny Briscoe. It was gold, a master class of timing and perfect one liners.
R.I.P. Richard Belzer. You were one of the best detectives I've seen on the show. You will be missed dearly!😢😢
Richard was perfection as Detective John Munch. Comedic genius and talented actor. Sir you are much beloved and will be missed. Rest peacefully. 🕵️💖❤️💯
Rest In Peace, Detective Munch. You were one of the best NYPD detectives on Law & Order we could ever have. Benson, Stabler, Tutuola, Rollins, and the rest will carry on your legacy.

Com toda certeza ! Deixa muita saudade! 😞😞🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I was so saddened to hear he passed. What a great actor. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family.
I didn't expect to feel so sad about his passing. As sad as when we lost Jerry Orbach. Both unique souls in a world full of the plastic.
He holds the record for playing the same character on the most shows.

Including X-Files and Sesame Street!
A unique character who will be missed
Rest in peace, Sgt. Munch. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I worked on L&O SVU and he was the best... He come by holding and talk with the extras tell all us newbies that you will hear alot of no before you hear yes.... Miss him so much 😢
Homicide life on the streets was so underrated one of the greater shows of the 1990s it just got lost between LAW AND ORDER and NYPD BLUE😢

Agree 100 percent
Remember Richard in the eighties he was a really funny guy! He did a lot of Letterman shows. And I also remember he did a great Reagan impression. He definitely will be missed! Rip.🙏✝️
He was such a good actor, I still miss him on SVU
We’re going to miss him
Always liked him. RIP and thanks.
He was a great actor
Rest In Paradise Richard Belzer aka Detective Munch! I’m sure you’ll find Eternal Peace
May he rest in Peace. I'll never forget seeing him on Elmopalooza. ❤️
He also appeared as a detective in The Brady Bunch Movie Sequel.
Very sad RIP legend
Gutted. Just gutted. He was one of my comedy heroes. Pity he smoked so much. 78 is young these days.

I had a great aunt who passed away recently at 78. So at least to me it's a life well lived.
I saw him live at Catching a Rising Star in the late 80's. The funniest guy I ever saw live period and I saw Robin Williams, Seinfeld and Rodney Dangerfield to name a few. He will be missed RIP 🙏
aww i can't believe he's gone he was my favorite he was so hilarious rest in peace 😔
Brilliant comic and what a great role. Will be missed immensely The angels are lucky
Rip Good actor
RIP🕯️
Omg hes funny
I can't believe he's gone! Rest in peace Richard Belzer.
SCAREFACE & PUPPET MASTERS are my 2 favorites of his.
He was a true legend!
Total bummer. My mom watched Law & Order a lot when it was only a series and a couple spin-offs. His character was great and it sounds like he was a really chill guy in real life. I'm sure he'll be greatly missed.
Fin: Captain.....they got Munch.
RIP to the great Richard Belzer🙏
The munch cinematic universe
I loved him as Munch!!!!
R.I.P R.B TRUE TV LEGEND!! When she said Home in France i thought about the hulk hogan incident straight away
RIP😢
Rip from the uk
He was the best. Rest in Power
Gracias mi querido detective John Munch por su talento! Te voy a extrañar, buen viaje Richard Belzer, buen viaje!!!
Law and Order please it was Homicide Life on the Street. That was my favorite show back then.
RIP Richard Belzer AKA Detective John Munch.
Riposa in pace Richard, grazie di tutto. 😥
Miss you Munch. Thank you for making SVU amazing
"And remember, photocopies are not admissible as memories."
That’s very devastating.
tem gente que parece nunca vai morrer
Detective John Munch was played by the late Richard Belzer and he was stuff of legend in my opinion
He was a legend, remember his role in Scarface 🇦🇺

You will be missed munch
I will miss you so much mon frère. PS You'd be laughing your nuts off at how cold those Today douches behind the desk are. R.I.P Monsieur Richard Belzer 🕶️🙏🏻
Rather sad part not to disrespect but we all know its true is that the older you are the bigger your ears get. No wonder old folks complain alot
Never new he died
I wish they made his show homicide life on the streets more Available to watch and other networks or streaming services.
Nooooooooooo
RIP RICHARD, but i heard a nasty nasty rumor years ago now that he DIED, like 5 years ago i heard that. WOW.
What?
🥱
"unique" last words, n'est pas??
Rlp
He was on the wire? Gtfoh
One of the coolest things I remember is they cast Jerry Lewis as Munnch’s uncle as one of the original NYPD SVU detectives. A man he admired in real life. To have two comedy legends in the same scenes was unforgettable. RIP to them both
