Richard Belzer Proclaims “I Am Not A Psychic”


Richard Belzer (Law & Order SVU) will be coming out with a new book titled “I Am Not A Psychic!” Here’s what Publisher’s Weekly has to say about “I Am Not A Psychic!” :

Actor and comic Belzer, best known for his long-running portrayal of the acerbic detective John Munch on the TV series Homicide and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, fares much better with his second light crime novel featuring himself as the amateur sleuth. Both the plotting and the prose are sharper than in 2008's I Am Not a Cop! and offer promise that future books may be better still. Just before Belzer leaves New York City for Las Vegas to cohost a charity telethon, Paul Venchus, with whom Belzer once worked as a reporter, calls and asks for his help cracking a conspiracy. Venchus claims the suspicious deaths of a Marilyn Monroe–like actress and her congressman lover were actually murders. After Venchus turns up dead himself, possibly from an alcohol overdose, his girlfriend comes to Vegas to implore Belzer to investigate. Despite a deus ex machina, snappy dialogue and solid pacing makes this a success on its own terms.



The book was also co-authored by Michael Black, and is scheduled for release in early October.

Vincent D’Onofrio Talks About “Kill The Irishman”


Here’s a video of the ever-busy Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & order Criminal Intent) talking about his role in the film “Kill The Irishman” (formerly titled "The Irishman"), a film about Cleveland Ohio “mobster” Danny Greene. Vincent will play John Nardi, a Cleveland racketeer and crime family associate.

As I have lived in the Cleveland area all my life, I am somewhat familiar with the Danny Greene “era”, so it will be interesting to see how well the movie follows the real events.
