Dick Wolf, the creator of the "Law & Order" franchise shared a tribute to Belzer on Instagram. "I first worked with Richard on the 'Law & Order'/'Homicide' crossover and loved the character so much I told Tom (Fontana) that I wanted to make him one of the original characters on 'SVU.' The rest is history," he wrote. "Richard brought humour and joy into all our lives, was the consummate professional, and we will all miss him very much."
