Besides acting, Richard Belzer has long had a passion of conspiracy theories, including UFO's, Illuminati, and other alleged dark secrets kept from us all. Now, he's going to get a chance to further pursue the subject on the Sci Fi Channel.
The cable channel has struck a deal with Belzer to produce a series of hour-long specials, each of which will focus on a noteworthy conspiracy... and there's a lot of them.
While talking to Variety columnist Michael Fleming, Belzer spoke of the project, saying, ""It's a subject I've been interested in my whole adult life, and there are so many amazing things out there that are of a conspiratorial nature, that are exciting enough to make marketable and entertaining.
"The first show, for instance, will focus on Majestic 12, an organization alleged to have been founded after World War II to study UFOs. It had been a myth, but there is enough of a paper trail to create a convincing case that there was a government board sanctioned to review extraterrestrial intelligence. What we'll do on the show is field pieces and in-studio panel discussions that will give both the pros and cons of conspiracy theories. It'll be a smart show."
The program's will be executive produced by Belzer along with his manager, Panacea Entertainment chairman Eric Gardner.
