Imposing at 6'8" and with head shaved bald, actor Richard Moll entered the realm of iconic TV celebrity in 1984 as Nostradamus "Bull" Shannon on the sitcom "Night court," which ran until 1992. This character was of the gentle giant variety.
The show took place in a Manhattan courtroom presided over by a zany amateur magician judge. The real comic star of this show was John Larroquette, who played the far less than ethical, womanizing lawyer Dan Fielding, but the next most compelling role was that of Bull, the deep-voiced court bailiff.
Moll's big break as a character actor came on "Happy Days." He also appeared on "Laverne and Shirley," "Mork and Mindy," Alice," "How the West Was Won," Fantasy Island," "The A-Team," and other shows. In addition, he has had parts in a number of fairly regrettable movies.
