Did Richard belzar leave Law and Order?

From Starpulse Entertainment News Blog dated 12/11/07

Richard Belzer does not know why his character is being cut from the show. Apparently, he is slowly being phased out. Fans, however, are trying to get him back on by protesting online.


As of season 13 premier on 9/21/11, Munch (Richard Belzer) is back on duty! Christopher Meloni was not able to come to terms with a contract and he is no longer in the cast. They're introducing two new SVU officers, Det. Amanda Rollins played by Kelli Giddish and Det. Nick Amaro played by Danny Pino. The new people are very 'Hollywood' types, smoother and more attractive real working folks, which producers believe is mandatory for success. Munch and Tutuola are among my favorites but they're not 'pretty enough'; in real life, one of them would be moved to the lead when Stabler left.

What is Sam Waterston doing now After Law and Order?

In the episode airing 11/5/08, "Rumble", the issue of Jack McCoy's effectiveness as District Attorney was questioned as one of the episode's themes. At the very end of the episode during a press conference, you hear a reporter shout a question, obviously directed at McCoy, if he has been asked to join the Obama administration. That shouted question appears to have been edited in since the original airing of this episode was only the day after the Presidential election. Since McCoy's character has been the District Attorney his role has be lessened in series. If Waterston is leaving the show, he's has the opportunity now. However, I cannot locate any press release.

Why did Chris Meloni leave Law and Order SVU?

Chris Noth has been silent about his reasons for leaving 'Law and Order CI', but at the time of his departure, he had completed a role in the first 'Sex and the City' movie. He followed that with the 'Sex and the City 2' movie, the role of J.P. Morgan in the PBS series 'Titanic: Blood and Steel', four more miscellaneous movies and a 'Justice League' video, then he jumped into the 'The Good Wife' TV series. I think this tells us that Chris Noth likes variety in his work.

Was Scarlett Johanssen ever on Law and Order?

No, Stephanie Zimbalist has no credits for any of the Law and Order series.

Was Jenette McCurdy in a Law and Order SVU episode?

Jennette McCurdy appeared in the 2005, season 6 episode, 'Contagious' of Law and Order SVU. She plays a 9-year-old girl who was sexually abused. I liked seeing her in this role because its kind of weird, but at the same time cool, to see her playing a scared little girl after only seeing her on Icarly until this point, when on Icarly she plays mean and tough Sam Puckett (Yes, I know she cries twice on that show).

In what episodes of Law and Order SVU does Olivia Benson get hurt?
