Dan Larroquette (Dan Fielding) was the only actor to appear in every episode of the original series, along with the late Harry Anderson (Judge Harry Stone) and Richard Moll (Bull). But while Dan Larroquette was back for the revival, Richard Mohr wasn’t. What happened to our dear little bull? No, we need to know what’s going on.

What happened to Bull in “Night Court”? I miss Richard Moll.
Richard Moll has perfected the very adorable Goofy Aristotle Nostradamus Shannon aka Bull. What the character often lacked in common sense, he made up for by putting his heart in the right place: Bull, known for his ironic and reluctant catchphrase “Ooo-kay,” slapped him on the forehead for what he had done. expressed regret. It never got old after nine years of fun missteps.
Unfortunately, NBC has confirmed that Richard will not be returning for the Night Court reboot. “At this time, Moll has no plans to revive his character in the new Night Court,” the network said in a statement on its website.
Details about his absence have not been revealed, but we do know that he’s been pretty busy bouncing in and out of various TV shows.

Richard Moll’s IMDb page does not have a gap year. He seems to have gravitated towards one of his voice acting careers, lending his baritone vocals to Superman: Animate his series, Freeka Zoid!, Justice League, and more. He also has quite a track record as the voice of Two-Face in both Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures.
When I saw the “new” Night Court last night, I thought, if John Larroquette can come back, why can’t Richard Moll come back.

Who is the new bull in the ‘Night Court’ reboot?
First, Richard Moll as Bull is irreplaceable. Second, NBC was able to find incredible additions to the new show. Actress and comedian La Cretta has become the new Bailiff of the Night, whose job it is to somehow keep everyone in line.Honestly, we only listen to her character’s name: Donna. “Gurgs” Gurganous.
In an interview with Theater Mania, Lacretta talked about stepping into a giant bailiff at Night Court. Before the audition, Lacletta had to stop watching old episodes of Night Court so she wouldn’t accidentally imitate someone from the show.
“Grugs is her own character, not Marsha Warfield, not Richard Moll, so I wanted to stand in my own character,” she said. I felt like I was able to do it.”

Lacretta from “Night Court”
She was also determined to make the role her own and didn’t worry about standing in the shadow of Richard Moll or Marsha Warfield.
“We didn’t put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure we conveyed the legacy of what was before us. Please give me.”
I think everyone will be more than pleasantly surprised by the revival!
