SO LONG, RICHARD MOLL

As dear ol' Aristotle Nostradamus "Bull" Shannon, you brought a mighty, tall order to nine seasons of Night Court, but then your imposing presence and unique, expressive style shined in all your ventures.

Deathstalker; The Dungeonmaster; The Sword and the SorcererThe Archer: Fugitive of the Empire; Caveman; HousePulse Pounders; Evilspeak; Night Train to Terror; Wicked Stepmother; Galaxis; Shadow Hours; Boltneck; Evolution; Ghost Shark; Scary Movie 2Nightmare Man; Headless Horseman; Sorority Party Massacre; Casper: A Spirited Beginning; Casper Meets Wendy; Kids vs Monsters; Circus KaneSlay Belles; and the one that should have spawned a sequel, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn comprise your jaunts of high, contrasting fantasy. 

On the television side (and in addition to the popular Night Court), you made appearances on Happy Days; Laverne and Shirley; Mork & Mindy; Welcome Back, Kotter; Buck Rogers in the 25th Century; The Fall Guy; T.J. Hooker; Monsters; The Munsters Today; Bigfoot and Wildboy; Weird Science: The SeriesHighlander: The Series; Hercules: The Legendary Journeys; Babylon 5; Baywatch; Smallville; Superman: The Animated Series; Batman: The Animated Series; The Incredible Hulk: The Animated Series; Spider-man: The Animated Series 1997; Freakazoid; The Rockford Files; The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo; B.J. and the Bear; Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman; How the West Was Won; Best of the West; The Dukes of Hazzard; Sledge Hammer!; The Facts of Life; and so many more.

You brought laughter, excitement and menace to the screen, Mr. Moll, and as such, immense joy into our lives. For that, we'll continue to elevate your legacy and think of you fondly whenever we return to your work, which trust me, will be more often than not.
