With his deep commanding voice and his six foot four inches stature, veteran actor, John Larroquette is not easily forgotten. To many, he will always be the bold, boisterous, sarcastic — and don't forget womanizing — District Attorney Dan Fielding in the original "Night Court," which ran for nine seasons from 1984 until 1992. Over 30 years later, Larroquette stepped back into that role as the only returning series regular for the 2023 reboot of "Night Court." This time Fielding reluctantly returned as a prosecutor to serve the late judge Harry Stone's daughter, Abby Stone, played by Melissa Rauch.
During the original series, Larroquette won a primetime Emmy four years in a row from 1985 to 1988 and was also nominated for a Golden Globe at the end of that run. Eventually, the actor even reportedly asked that his name be taken out of the running for an Emmy for "Night Court" to give others a chance. Of course, the talented actor would be nominated for other shows, proving his talent as an actor. With more than 100 on-screen credits on both the small and big screen, Larroquette has mastered his professional life. One might also say he is lucky in love, having married his wife, Elizabeth Larroquette, in 1975, with the couple raising three children together. As of this writing, the pair are still together almost 50 years since they exchanged their nuptials.
Let's take a look back at what John Larroquette has been up to since the original "Night Court" ended.
