One of the funniest sitcom characters in TV. Maybe the best one of the last decade. Was an absolute force on screen.

Homicide: Life on the Street is probably the most underrated show in the history of television.

how did he pass?

Man I hate to hear this. I loved him Glory, which I think was one of his first notable roles.

Then I spent middle school, high school, and my first year of college loving Homicide. As was pointed out above, it's a criminally underrated show. It's impact on the Police/Law TV series and shows can't be understated - Law & Order did crossovers with them that were just epic. Detective Munch on Law & Order started on Homicide!

Seemed like a good guy too. Not too flashy, didn't hear much from him, but you were always in for a treat when he was on screen.

how did he pass?

Lung cancer. Apparently he had smoked a good portion of his adult life but quit about 10 years ago.
