Richard Moll
Bailiff Bull Shannon: Night Court—where laughter met the gavel. Richard’s deep timbre breathed life into “Bull.” His catchphrase, “Ohh-kay,” resonated like cosmic verdicts. Beside him, Roz Russell, played by Marsha Warfield, formed a celestial bond.
Screen Credits: Beyond the courtroom, his credits danced across the celluloid sky. Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, The Rockford Files—each frame a comet. His gravelly voice echoed in Gotham’s shadows (Batman: The Animated Series), swung through Spidey’s web (Spider-Man: The Animated Series), and cavorted with Bedrock’s prehistoric crew (The Flintstones).
Cosmic Cameos: Jingle All the Way, Scary Movie 2, Babylon 5, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Smallville—his name etched in stardust. The towering actor—6 feet 8 inches tall—left footprints on the cosmic red carpet.
A Legacy Unfurled: He didn’t follow his father’s legal path; instead, he scripted laughter. Shakespeare’s verses at the Will Geer Theatre led to cosmic applause. His voice, a gavel of mirth, presided over our hearts.
Rest in Peace, Richard Moll. Your booming laughter will echo through the celestial chambers. You’ve earned your place among the stars, forever part of the cosmic docket. Richard Moll was 80 years old when he departed on October 26, 2023, leaving behind a rich tapestry of performances that will continue to entertain and inspire.
