We are saddened to share the news that Richard Moll, the talented actor known for his iconic roles on television, has passed away at the age of 80. Richard delighted audiences with his memorable performances, capturing hearts with his portrayal of Aristotle Nostradamus “Bull” Shannon, the beloved bailiff on the original series “Night Court.” He appeared in all 193 episodes of the show, becoming a beloved face on TV screens across the nation.
But Richard’s talent extended far beyond “Night Court.” He lent his voice to the character Two-Face in “Batman: The Animated Series,” brought life to Norman in “Mighty Max,” and voiced Scorpion in “Spiderman: The Animated Series.” His role as Dementor in the festive classic “Jingle All the Way” also brought joy to many during the holiday season.
Despite his impressive career, Richard’s last credited acting appearance was in 2018 for the movie “Slay Belles.” However, fans were eagerly anticipating his forthcoming project, “Whispers and Shadows,” which is currently in post-production. It is unfortunate that Richard was not able to witness the completion of his final endeavor.
Richard Moll passed away on October 26, 2023, at his residence in Big Bear, California. While his representative confirmed that he passed away peacefully, the exact cause of death remains undisclosed. Richard was born in Pasadena, California, and his journey from Charles Richard Moll to the professional moniker of Richard Moll began after he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Bachelor of Arts in History. It was then that he set his sights on Hollywood and embarked on a remarkable career.
Richard’s personal life was marked by two marriages that ultimately ended in divorce. He was married to Laura Class from 1988 to 1992 and later married Susan Brown in 1993. They had two children together before their marriage ended in 2005.
While Richard Moll may no longer be with us, his legacy lives on. He made an indelible mark on the entertainment landscape through his unforgettable portrayals and left a lasting impact on the world of television and film. We will always remember him for his talent, dedication, and the joy he brought to so many through his work.
