Man this one sucks. Did lots of B movies and other stuff . But night court was his launching pad.

That leaves just 2 actors left from the main group alive

Insane how over the past 5 years pretty much the whole cast died.

Aww, that sucks. I remember back when I was in school and I'd get to the summer holidays and could stay up late there was always a station that had syndicated reruns of Night court on at like midnight and I could actually stay up late to watch them.

That show is massively underrated in the batch of 80s/early 90s sitcoms.

Man. I staple of my youth. Both on Night Court and the assorted horror and b-movies he did (Evilspeak, The Sword and the Sorcerer, The Dungeonmaster, House)

In Season 1 the Bull character wasnt that dumb, but they almost made him into a cartoon character in subsequent seasons, where he was so stupid it defied logic. Moll did the best he could with it, but I thought it dragged down the show.

Before Night Court, Moll had a bit part in a Welcome Back Kotter episode, with a full head of hair.

I hadn’t realized they were the same person, because of the hair thing, but he was also in one of the iconic queer YA films “But I’m a Cheerleader” in 1999.
