'I will miss you, your unique light, and your singular take on this strange world,' Mariska Hargitay wrote of her 'SVU' co-star Richard Belzer.
Hargitay and Meloni were among several members of the “Law & Order” family who paid tribute to Belzer on Sunday. Prolific TV producer Dick Wolf, who created “SVU,”“Richard Belzer’s Detective John Munch is one of television’s iconic characters,” Wolf wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.
Ice-T and Marlee Matlin, who played detective Odafin Tutuola and doctor Amy Solwey, respectively, on “SVU,” both paid homage to Belzer on Twitter. “Richard Belzer was one of the most kindest and welcoming actors when I guested on two episodes of Law and Order: SVU,”. “His passing is truly a loss for Hollywood and I will miss him dearly. RIP Richard Belzer.”
“Richard Belzer was the first actor to welcome me when I started at SVU,” Leight wrote. “I loved writing for Munch, and I loved being with Belz. We sensed this would be his parting scene. Godspeed Belz…”Even in the glare of the afternoon sun, through a restaurant window, there’s no mistaking Richard Belzer, maneuvering his steel-gray Lexus into a parking space on a hot L.A. afternoon.
