You’ll Never Believe These Mind-Blowing Secrets from Behind the Scenes of Law & Order: SVU

Detective John Munch is a Really, Really Busy Guy

In 2016, Richard Belzer returned to SVU after a two-season hiatus. Belzer starred as Detective John Munch, who was on the show since its inception, but his character lived far beyond the SVU universe. Munch originated on Homicide: Life on the Street, and is the only character to be played by a single actor across ten (yes, ten) different TV shows and five networks. Belzer has appeared as Munch on The X-Files, 30 Rock, The Wire, and Arrested Development, to name a few.
