At 6'8' and 240lbs, Richard Moll's imposing stature made him a natural for the role of Big Ben, the vengeful apparition hellbent on destroying Roger Cobb. Moll was a studious child, a loner who entertained himself by drawing cartoons.

Much to the chagrin of the school athletic coaches, Moll always prefered academics to sports. Though he enjoyed playing the part of the class clown,Moll was an excellent student and went on to earn a Degree in History from the University of California at Berkeley.

Following a brief career as a probation officer and retail store buyer in San Francisco, Moll began studying acting at the age of 23. It was to become his passion.

In 1968, he moved to Hollywood and continued to hone his acting skills, suporting himself with odd jobs and an occasional stint at Harrah's Lake Tahoe as a slot machine key man. In 1970 he auditioned for and won an acting grant at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre and performed in Shakespeare's 'Cymbeline,' 'Much Ado About Nothing' and 'Richard III.'

Returning to Los Angeles, Moll showcased his talent at numerous local theatres. In 1975 he joined Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon and continued to perform Shakespeare over the next five years.

During that time, he also toured with the American Living History Theatre, portraying Abraham Lincoln in productions at schools in the Los Angeles area.

In 1978, he landed a role on ABC-TV's live action children's show 'Bigfoot and Wildboy.' Over the next five years Moll worked steadily in episodic television and feature films, appearing in 'The Rockford Files,' 'How the West was Won,' 'Fantasy Island,' Happy Days,' Laverne & Shirley,'Nine to Five,' Remington Steele,' 'Alice,' 'The Fall Guy,' and had a recurring role in 'The Dukes of Hazard,' among others. Moll then starred in the NBC-TV comedy series 'Night Court,' in which he portrayed the gentle bailiff Bull Shannon, a role which has brought him widespread recognition.

Moll's feature film credits include 'Evilspeak,' 'Caveman,' 'Hard Country,' 'Liar's Moon,' 'The Sword and the Sorcerer,' 'Ragewar,' 'The Dungeon Master,' and 'Metalstorm,' in which he portrayed the leader of the Cyclopeans, a race of one-eyed mutants.

"Because of my size, i'm often cast as the heavy," Moll states. "But,im not knocking the bad-guy roles. I delight in the characterization, and the villains are the juiciest characters around. But, im not like that in real life.....honest."

Moll resides in Los Angeles and in his spare time collects antiques, lifts weight and jogs. He currently drives a '63 Cadillac Coupe de Ville once owned by Samuel Goldwyn's wife Frances.
