It stands to reason after portraying a detective on TV for years that you can get comfortable in the role. That certainly appears to be the case for comedian-actor Richard Belzer who's recently signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster to write two mysteries. According to the news wire services, Belzer's story lines will focus on him as a TV performer involved in the stories.
These days Belzer is almost better known as Detective John Munch on NBC's successful "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
I certainly hope to see copies of Belzer's new novels at the library whenever they hit print. I'm sure the quick-witted, strong-opinioned Belzer has some good stories to write.
