Trivia[]
- The 6-foot, 8-inch Moll was cast in Night Court (1984) not only for his comic skill as an actor, but also because the producers needed someone who could realistically tower over the fairly tall male cast (including Harry Anderson and John Larroquette) as the imposing yet lovable court guard Bull Shannon.
- Moll would occasionally be a celebrity player on the game shows Super Password and the 1990 remake of Match Game.
- In between filming seasons of Night Court, Moll grew his hair back. Many would then mistake him for John Larroquette until he shaved it off again at the start of every season.
