It's great to have a board just for posting about Richard. This will be the perfect place to post stuff about his other projects and random things fans like to talk about related to The belz like his dogs and his books and stuff like that
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Richard Belzer. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Elliot Stabler's absence could very well prove beneficial in the long run.
What to watch on Thursday, July 28.
I was surprised to see such a low rating for "Detective Munch." How can you not love this guy? With his strong opinions on everything, his ability to talk non-stop, his conspiracy theories? The guy's a riot. He's the ideal combination of hard and soft, funny and serious, intelligent and goofy. I absolutely love this character. He is the perfect addition to the SUV group. Can't imagine the show w/o him!!! He adds just the right touch to this series. I think he is able to play a better part here than he did on Homicide: Life on the Street, even though he played the same character there.
Richard Belzer is an amazing actor and comedian that has starred in many different shows and movies. WHo could forget the role he played in Scarface? He has been playing the character Detective John Munch since his days of Homicide: Life on the Streets and now we get to see his amazing acting in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. I believe his character is being under used in the series and I miss the days from the first few seasons when he would show up more often. I think the fact that a comdedian plays a detective in a crime show is hilarious, and I love his little rants about conspiracy theories! I you want to laugh after a bad day, turn on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and watch all of the scenes with Richard in them. He delivers the script expertley and I believe he should recieve several awards for his fabulous acting!
Definitely one of my favorite actors...and Det. Sgt. Munch is definitely one of the best characters on SVU. I really don't think SVU knows what they have. I find it sad that the show has been using Richard Belzer less and less as the series goes on, to the point where the Munch character has pretty much been reduced to running the squad's errands. That's kind of pathetic, seeing that Richard Belzer is a good actor in his own right, having already shown this in a seven-season run with Homicide: Life on the Street. For that matter, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of H:LOTS fans who only crossed over to SVU once H:LOTS was canceled just because Richard Belzer agreed to come back and reprise the role of Munch. I feel that Richard Belzer has more than proven himself as an actor, and that he is very much underused on SVU. He has done great work on this show, on H:LOTS, and on various other shows that he's appeared in over the years. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that TPTB of SVU keep their promise and give the viewers more of Munch this year, because over the past few seasons, Richard Belzer's presence on the show has been missed.
You haven't really seen the Law & Order franchise until you've seen Richard Belzer in action as John Munch on the "SVU" flavor of this franchise. Witty, acerbic and brilliant, Belz's long-honed portrayal of Munch is a highlight of the show and a great counterpoint to all the Elliot/Olivia over-played dramatic near-romance. John Munch is a TV icon, having appeared on no less than 10 shows, from the critically-acclaimed "Homicide: Life on the Street" to "Arrested Development" and too many others to name. (The jury's still out on whether or not Belz was in character when he appeared on "Sesame Street" to tell us that L is for LAZY. It's also for LOL, which sums up his schtick for that show.)
Next time you're in the mood for something darker, catch the SVU episodes "Painless" and "Parts," both of which show Belz's depth for drama. It's a couple hours of your life well spent.
This guy does one character that he pawns off all over the place. He was never funny as a stand up . . . like an un-funny version of Lewis Black. He hangs out with the likes of Bill Maher to make himself feel better than the rest of us true Americans. He rips the military, but neglects our military's involvement in WWII.
Apparently he feels it is okay to stifle free speech - he alluded that it is "illegal" to make fun of any ethnicities other than your own. Wow, comedy just went down the drain.
He claims to be friends with George Carlin (RIP), Richard Pryor, and other comedy greats, but they'll tell you that the 1st Amendment is what lets them live. Belzer would steal it away from you. He also had the audacity to question the nature of another comedian's work. That is a huge no-no.
Belzer, do us all a favor and stay in your little make believe world where you're a cop, everybody else is less important than you, and you can sit at home with your prosthetic testicle and your stupid little dog and be a brittle bitter little man.
Arrogant, Ignorant, Unimportant, Unintelligent, Insignificant, No Talent Azz Klown with no respectable body of work. Get a life . . . woah, too late, you're already 60-something. THe next Larry King . . . except not as funny.
