In a heartfelt tribute shared on social media, John Larroquette, the beloved star of the NBC sitcom Night Court, remembered his colleague Richard Moll, who recently passed away. Moll, known for his iconic role as the towering bailiff "Bull Shannon" in Night Court, passed away at the age of 80 at his home in Big Bear Lake, Calif., on October 26. The cause of his death has not been disclosed by his family.

Larroquette, along with Harry Anderson and Moll, was one of the few cast members who appeared in every episode of the earlier version of Night Court. For his exceptional portrayal of Assistant District Attorney Dan Fielding, Larroquette received Emmy Awards for four consecutive years, setting a record at the time. The original Night Court aired from 1984 to 1992, and Larroquette was the only regular character from the original show to make a comeback in the 2023 series continuation.

Paying homage to his late colleague, Larroquette described Moll as "larger than life and taller too." The two actors first worked together on the popular sitcom Mork and Mindy before embarking on their journey in Night Court, where they spent nearly a decade bringing the character of Judge Harry Stone and the entire Night Court universe to life. Larroquette expressed his deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to Moll's family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Richard Moll's portrayal of the lovable and gentle giant, "Bull Shannon," endeared him to audiences around the world. His towering presence and unique comedic timing made him a fan favorite throughout the series. Moll's unforgettable character served as the perfect foil to Larroquette's slick and sarcastic Assistant District Attorney, creating memorable and hilarious moments on screen.

As news of Moll's passing spreads, fans and fellow actors have taken to social media to express their grief and share fond memories of him. Moll's contribution to the entertainment industry is undeniable, and his presence will be sorely missed.

The legacy of Richard Moll and his remarkable portrayal of "Bull Shannon" will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of Night Court fans for years to come.
