Law & Order or Homicide?

Tip of the ice berg. That's why I selected him. Always looked forward to his surprise visits.

Munch has become the only fictional character, played by a single actor, to physically appear on 10 different television series. These shows were on five different networks:

• 30 Rock—two episodes: "¡Qué Sorpresa!", the characters are watching an SVU episode, with dialogue written and action shot specifically for 30 Rock. Richard Belzer also appears as the actor playing Munch in "Last Lunch", part one of 30 Rock's series finale, when Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) lands a guest role on SVU as a corpse.
• Jimmy Kimmel Live!—one episode: October 7, 2009. Richard Belzer was interviewed as himself, then does an impromptu scene as Munch with Kimmel and Joel McHale.[44]

• Munch makes a cameo appearance on the 1993 Paul Shaffer album The World's Most Dangerous Party.
• An artwork version of Munch appears in the 2016 comic book Spider-Man/Deadpool #6.[46]

I agree with Norm.

One of the funniest lines I ever heard came from him explaining why he and his wife Vera aren't exactly what each other wants in a sexual partner. She said she wished he looked a little more like Charles Bronson. He said he wished she looked a little less like Charles Bronson.

Thanks for the video.
