Repect John Munch

At the time of writing, the character of John Munch is the only character to appear in nine different series, portrayed by the same actor. The actor in question being the one time funny man, Richard Belzer. I loved the character on Homicide, and was glad to see him move on to Law and Order when the first series ended.

The deadpan Munch can be found in:

• "Homicide: Life on the Street"
• "Law & Order"
• "The X Files"
  
• "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"
• "The Beat"
• "Law & Order: Trial by Jury"
• "Arrested Development"
• "The Wire"
• "Paris enquêtes criminelles" (French Law and Order)
  

Granted most of these are from the Law & Order franchise, but it is still an impressive achievement. This character is iconic enough to be included in the Sesame Street production of "Law and Order: Special Letters unit".
