RICHARD BELZER
Richard Belzer spent decades as a stand-up comedian and comic actor, but judging from his post mortem press he is destined to be remembered as John Munch, the cynical detective on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. But Belzer also gained some attention in his later career for promoting conspiracy theories in the popular media.
According to his IMDB bio, Belzer was “a social misfit” who was “kicked out of every school he ever attended”, including college. He told NPR’s Terry Gross he got an “honorable discharge” from the Army for being “too funny to carry a gun.”
