Famous actor Richard Belzer died in his home in Bouzouls in southwest France early Sunday, at the age of 78.
Bill Scheft, a longtime friend of the actor confirmed his death. “He had lots of health issues, and his last words were, ‘Fuck you, motherfucker,’” Scheft said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Belzer is best known for his role as Detective John Munch on “Law and Order: SVU.”
Belzer had an impressive catalogue of work under his belt and has been an actor since his film debut in “The Groove Tube” in 1974. He appeared on early episodes of “Saturday Night Live” and was known for his wisecracks and unique sense of humor.
Belzer played a detective on eight different series in addition to his role on “Law and Order: SVU” but his time on that show was the longest running of his career. He originated the role on NBC’s “Homicide: Life on the Street” in 1993 and reprised his character in the “Law & Order” series.
