He was the villian in the Highlander series pilot:

Here is his imdb link: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0596959/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_q_richard%2520mo

The second thing he did was an episode of Welcome Back, Kotter. I would like to see that episode.

He also showed up on Highlander, Babylon 5, Married … With Children and Anger Management and in the films The Flintstones (1994), But I’m a Cheerleader (1999) and Scary Movie 2 (2001).

A petty criminal on one episode on Babylon 5 is (looking at Wikipedia's list) probably the only place I've ever seen him.

Moll did some really solid work for Batman: The Animated Series.

I tried to watch the Night Court reboot, I really did. Just not funny. When a good show ends, they should let it stay ended.

"Sorry to hear it. He was my favorite character in the show."

I'm more of a Dan Fielding man myself. It still makes me smile to think about the episode when he stuck the emergency fire hose down the front of his pants.

He and John Larroquette worked together before Night Court, on an episode of Mork and Mindy

How about the episode where Fieldings best buddy from college shows up for a visit? Fielding regales his coworkers with tales of their womanizing. Dan works himself into a frenzy waiting for his pal. When the pal shows up, he is now a she.
Way back then they were slipping that crap into shows.

Haha - in that episode of B5 Moll plays the part of a big, mean, nasty criminal VERY well: A great contrast to “Bull”. Then the usually affable Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle) shows up, in no mood to take crap from anybody...

Dang, more and more of these fixtures in my memory have passed.

RIP and prayers for your family and friends, Mr. Moll.

The 70’s and 80’s were the best for T&A quality entertainment.

The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, B.J. and the Bear, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, T.J. Hooker, The Dukes of Hazzard.

I always liked that show.

“Bull’’ was great comic relief.

Rip Richard Moll.

Dan Fielding was pretty funny. I liked him second best, but he was pretty predictable. Bull would just be off the wall.

But if you are a fan of John Larroquette he is a cast member in a tv series called "The Librarians", which is a light hearted entertaining show.
