Meanwhile, Mariska Hargitay, who plays Detective Olivia Benson, posted a touching tribute to her Instagram page. At the top of the post is Belzer’s name and the years 1944 to 2023, representing his lifetime. The message reads:
“Goodbye my love, my friend. I will miss you, your unique light, and your unique view of this strange world. I feel blessed to have known you and adored you and worked with you, side by side, for so many years. How lucky the angels are to have you. I can hear them laughing already. I love you so much, now and forever.”
Christopher Meloni also joined in paying tribute to their fallen colleagues by sharing throwback photos on his Instagram page. The caption read, “Richard “The Belz” Belzer. A beautiful soul, a neat groomer, with the spirit of a child. Never met anyone like him, and I never will. Your last words helped make death you are more acceptable.
Former “SVU” showrunner Warren Leight tweeted a video of Belzer and Hargitay in character from 2016 as part of his tribute. Above the video, he written:
“Richard Belzer was the first actor to welcome me when I started on SVU. Open, warm, acerbic, whip smart, kind. I love writing for Munch, and I love being with Belz. We have a feeling this will be his parting scene. God willing, Belz..”
Kelli Giddish, who recently left the show after 12 seasons, retweeted Leight’s post.
Belzar’s longtime friend, writer Bill Scheft told Hollywood Reporter that he died at his home in Bozouls, southwestern France, on Sunday after battling several health problems. He also shared his last words, “Fu*k you, motherfu*ker.”

Born on August 4, 1944, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, his comedic tendencies stemmed from the rough childhood he shared with his older brother, Len, because their mother used to beat them.
He revealed to PEOPLE in 1993 that he had to make his mother laugh in the kitchen to avoid being beaten. Belzer’s humor also caused problems in the classroom, leading to his expulsion from Massachusetts Dean’s Junior College for organizing protests on campus.
