Goddam it. I was such a fan of how he portrayed Detective Munch. I was an absolute fanatic for Homicide: Life on the Street. It's also where I was introduced to Andre Braugher (AKA Pembleton). You can see them both in this great cold open. You get a good sense of the show's mood from a scene like this.

What I always think of when I hear Belzer's name.

One of the coolest things is his Munch character appeared on 10 different series. That's gotta be a record for a character.

By far. The previous record was shared by Cliff & Norm from Cheers, who appeared on 6 different series.

Wasn’t Belzer a stand-up comedian before all that?

Yeah, he was a stand-up for a long time before he played Munch. I remember when he was a regular on Letterman and Carson. In fact, I seem to recall him going on Letterman to promote Homicide and Dave was baffled how he got cast in a gritty cop drama.

I saw a tweet from George Wallace that the first time he ever went on stage to do stand-up, Belzer was the MC who introduced him.

Yeah, that kind of sucks about Belzer. I was wondering about him after Ice T got his star on the walk of fame and was a little surprised to see he was still alive. That lasted about 2 days. I really got a kick out of him appearing on the X-Files when it happened. I too remember him on Homicide, then somehow he was the same character on Law & Order. Pretty cool.

Lol! One of the originators of the Canadian 'Gordon' joke.
