Hey. the Belz is one of the coolest doods extant (rampant conspiracy theories and all)...and, while he may seem to be a fringer-type guy, he knows -- and is pretty well liked by (as reports seem to have it) -- just about EVERYBODY. My fave Belz factoid is that he has portrayed the SAME CHARACTER -- Det. John Munch -- on not only two regular TV series ("Homicide" and "Law & Order: SVU") but ALSO as one-offs (or few-offs, in some cases) on 7 others (including: "The X-Files," the original "L&O," "The Wire," and even "Arrested Development"). (That was from memory...additional checking (to nail down the total number of 9) also gleaned the fact that, having been on "Homicide," then "L&O: SVU" consectutively since 1993, his Munch is currently the longest-running character on US prime-time drama TV...) ...Oh yeah, and I heard him as a fill-in aft. host on Air America radio the other week...good -- and funny -- stuff... ...I say, let's have Munch (basically, just the real sarcastic, intelligent, cynical Belzer pretending to be a cop) on EVERY TV show!
