I had a brief Twitter debate last night about which series is better: Homicide: Life on the Street or The Wire. The fact is they're both great shows, and Richard Belzer appeared in both as John Munch.
If you didn't follow Homicide: Life on the Street, you likely know Munch best from his appearances on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Detective / Sargeant John Munch has actually appeared on ten different television programs:
- 30 Rock
- Arrested Development
- The Beat
- Homicide: Life on the Street
- Jimmy Kimmel Live!
- Law & Order
- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
- Law & Order: Trial by Jury
- The Wire
- The X-Files
That, my friends, is a record.
By the way, prior to becoming Munch, Belzer was a damn funny comedian. Here he is in 1978.
