Must See TV Takes a Couple of Hits
Two NBC comedy legends have passed… Matthew Perry:
TMZ is reporting tonight that actor Matthew Perry has been found dead at his Los Angeles-area home. No official cause of death has been reported, although early reports state that no signs of foul play were apparently found, and that first-responders arrived on the scene due to a call for cardiac arrest. Perry was 54.
Richard Moll has died. Possessed of both a massive frame and a powerful voice, Moll was best known for his work as bailiff Bull Shannon on Night Court, spending eight years in the cast of the NBC sitcom. (Before ending the series by being voluntarily abducted by aliens, as one does.) In addition to his physical performances, Moll was also a well-known voice actor. Among other credits, he was a key part of Batman: The Animated Series, playing the groundbreaking cartoon’s version of famed Batman villain Two-Face. Per Variety, Moll died on Thursday at his home in Big Bear, California. He was 80.
At different times in my life I very much enjoyed watching Moll and Perry. Deepest condolences to their friends and to their families.
