The actor's close friend, writer Bill Scheft, confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter. "He had lots of health issues, and his last words were 'F*ck you, motherf*cker,'" Scheft said.
In addition to "Law & Order: SVU," Belzer also appeared on a number of TV shows including "Homicide: Life on the Street," "The X-Files," "Arrested Development," and "30 Rock." He also starred in movies like "Fletch Lives," "Scarface," and "Man on the Moon."
