Apologies, folks: I'm aware this happened a few days ago, but as I've mentioned in a few spots last week was a very, very, very crazy week for me, so I'm playing a little bit of catch-up today ...
Richard Moll was a pretty big star in TV circles back in the day. I know that a great deal of viewers perhaps remember him best from his stint about the popular sitcom Night Court; but, alas, I've never been a big fan of any TV sitcom, so I've only seen it sparingly. Instead, I do recall his work from a solid handful of appearances aboard some great genre entries -- many of which are either a bit old or cult(ish) so they might escape today's audiences -- and I'll happily agree his was a talent to be reckoned with. If I may be so bold? Let me mention a few below:
Though there are a few more, I think I'll leave it at that. Certainly, the 1980's and the 1990's represent the bulk of Moll's resume -- it looks like he transitioned over into the world of voice acting as the years wore on, and I even recognize some of his goodness from shows I followed closely. He had that rare ability to vocally and physically bring characters to life, and I'm thankful to have had the chance to watch so much of what he's done over the years. He knew how to command a presence, and that speaks volumes in and off itself.
Alas, he's gone now, but we'll always have these screen moments to thrill and chill us ... and I've no doubt that'll bring a smile to his face no matter where he is.
Our warmest thoughts and prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Richard Moll.
