“Law & Order” star Richard Belzer died at the age of 78 Expedited visa procedures also for Syrians

American actor Richard Belzer, best known for his role as a cynical detective in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, has died.

Belzer died “peacefully” at his home in France on Sunday, with his wife and stepdaughter by his side, Belzer’s manager Eric Gardner told the German news agency. He was 78 years old.

Numerous filmmakers paid tribute to the comedian. Belzer was “simply hilarious” and a genius at interacting with his audience, Billy Crystal wrote on Twitter. With his role as detective John Munch, Belzer created one of TV’s “iconic” characters, wrote TV producer Dick Wolf. “Law & Order” actress Mariska Hargitay lamented on Instagram that she would miss her old series partner dearly. “Rest in peace Richard,” said a tweet from actor and director Henry Winkler (77), a cousin of the deceased.

Belzer, who was a comedian on the sketch show Saturday Night Live in the 1970s, also had supporting roles in such films as Fame, Scarface, and Purgatory of Vanities. He rose to fame in the 1990s playing Detective John Munch in over 300 episodes of the hit series “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”. Until 2016, he played the sharp tongue at a New York sex crimes police station. (sda/dpa)
