Richard Moll, the actor known for playing the imposing but kindhearted bailiff "Bull" Shannon on the NBC sitcom Night Court, died Thursday at his home in Big Bear Lake, Calif. He was 80.
因在NBC情景喜劇《夜間法庭》中飾演和藹可親的法警“公牛”香農(nóng)而聞名的演員理查德·莫爾周四在加州大熊湖的家中去世,享年80歲。
A representative for Moll confirmed the news to EW and said he died peacefully.
摩爾的一位代表向《娛樂(lè)周刊》證實(shí)了這一消息,并表示他平靜地去世了。
Born in Jan. 13, 1943, in Pasadena, Moll was the youngest of three children and went on to graduate from UC Berkeley with a degree in history. Realizing he didn't want to pursue a career in law like his father, he turned to acting and began performing Shakespeare at the Will Geer Theatre before transitioning to film and TV.
莫爾于1943年1月13日出生在帕薩迪納,是三個(gè)孩子中最小的一個(gè),后來(lái)從加州大學(xué)伯克利分校畢業(yè),獲得了歷史學(xué)學(xué)位。意識(shí)到他不想像父親那樣從事法律職業(yè),他轉(zhuǎn)向表演,開(kāi)始在威爾吉爾劇院表演莎士比亞,然后轉(zhuǎn)向電影和電視。
Standing 6 foot 8, Moll initially had difficulty landing roles, but soon his commanding presence and voice became his calling card. After starring in a Hertz commercial and appearing on TV shows including Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Welcome Back, Kotter, and The Rockford Files, he played an abominable snowman opposite Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach in 1981's Caveman and a decomposing war veteran in 1986's House.
莫爾身高6英尺8英寸,最初很難找到角色,但很快他的威嚴(yán)和聲音成為他的名片。他曾在Hertz公司的廣告中擔(dān)任主角,并在《快樂(lè)時(shí)光》、《拉弗恩與雪莉》、《莫克與明迪》、《歡迎回來(lái)》、《科特》和《洛克福德檔案》等電視節(jié)目中亮相。1981年,他在《洞穴人》中與林戈·斯塔爾和芭芭拉·巴赫演對(duì)手戲,飾演一個(gè)可惡的雪人;1986年,他在《House》中飾演一個(gè)腐爛的老兵。
Moll then landed the role that catapulted him to fame on the original Night Court, playing Bull for all nine seasons, from 1984 to 1992. (He did not return for last year's Night Court reboot.)
摩爾在1984年到1992年的九季中扮演了公牛,這一角色讓他在《夜球場(chǎng)》中一舉成名。(他沒(méi)有在去年的《夜庭》重拍中回歸。)
Moll also did extensive voice-over work, including playing Harvey Dent/Two-Face on three Batman cartoons, Scorpion on Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and Norman on Mighty Max. His other TV and film credits included But I'm a Cheerleader, The Flintsones, Jingle All the Way, Scary Movie 2, The Dungeonmaster, Driving Me Crazy, Getting By, Babylon 5, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Smallville, Cold Case, and many more.
摩爾還做了大量的配音工作,包括在三部《蝙蝠俠》動(dòng)畫(huà)片中扮演哈維·登特/雙面人,在《蜘蛛俠:動(dòng)畫(huà)系列》中扮演蝎子,在《無(wú)敵麥克斯》中扮演諾曼。他的其他電視和電影作品包括《但我是啦啦隊(duì)長(zhǎng)》、《燧石族》、《鈴兒響叮當(dāng)》、《恐怖電影2》、《地下城大師》、《讓我發(fā)瘋》、《混日子》、《巴比倫5》、《少女女巫塞布麗娜》、《第七天堂》、《超人前傳》、《懸案》等等。
Moll was an avid bird watcher and retired to Big Bear Lake. He is survived by his children Chloe and Mason Moll, ex-wife Susan Moll, and stepchildren Cassandra Card and Morgan Ostling.
