Spoilers ahead for the Season 25 premiere of Law & Order: SVU!
As Law & Order: SVU enters its landmark 25th season, much of the cast have been looking back on their time in the franchise. Just recently, Mariska Hargitay recalled meeting Christopher Meloni during their audition, and the two, along with many others, celebrated 25 seasons of SVU. One notable absence was Richard Belzer, who passed away in February 2023 at 78. After originating the character of Detective John Munch on Homicide: Life on the Street, Belzer moved to SVU and became a prominent character in the first 15 seasons. Now, the cast is opening up about missing their late co-star almost a year after his death.
