* ''Series/TheWire'' (ironically, former Baltimore Police Department detective Jay Landsman, the real-life inspiration for Munch, plays a recurring role). It should also be pointed out that Landsman, playing Lieutenant Mello, was actually in the scene. As was Clark Johnson, formerly Munch's fellow ''[[Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet Homicide]]'' castmate. If that's not enough, ''Series/TheWire'' has a character named Jay Landsman who was also inspired by the real Jay Landsman, and was played by yet a third actor. One rather suspects that Creator/DavidSimon was having a particularly {{Mind Screw}}y field day with this one.

* ''Series/LawAndOrder'': Munch's appearance on the original Law and Order as part of a Homicide cross-over is partly what got him the job on SVU. Belzer originally pitched to Dick Wolf that Munch join Law and Order as Briscoe's new partner. The role had been filled, so Wolf transplanted Munch to SVU instead.

What we have here is a small, semi-just-for-fun page to the character with the single most appearances outside his own series this side of a PublicDomainCharacter, making him the king of the IntercontinuityCrossover. A police detective originally based in [[Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet Baltimore]] and later in [[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit New York]], in every appearance Munch is portrayed by Creator/RichardBelzer, who outside of this role is [[TomHanksSyndrome better known as a stand-up comedian]]. The shift in location was explained in-show by Munch's decision to retire from the Baltimore police department and put the city behind him for good.
