Harry Anderson of “Night Court” died in his home in Asheville, North Carolina. Anderson’s body was found by police officers early Monday morning. He was 65 years old. No official cause of death has been released, but police stated that no foul play was suspected.

Anderson was best known for his role as Harry Stone, a judge who worked at a Manhattan night court. Stone was a kindhearted but zany judge who dealt with a whole host of strange characters and cases. The NBC sitcom ran from 1984 to 1992 and also starred John Larroquette, Richard Moll, Charles Robinson, Marsha Warfield and Markie Post. Anderson’s nine season run with “Night Court” earned him three consecutive Emmy nominations for his work on the show between 1985 and 1987. Anderson also directed two episodes of the show and worked as a writer or cowriter on five episodes of “Night Court.”

After his run with “Night Court,” Anderson took on the role of Dave Barry in the CBS comedy “Dave’s World.” Following that show’s four season run, Anderson had several guest roles including FX’s “Son of the Beach, “NBC’s “30 Rock,” “Tales From the Crypt,” HBO’s “Tanner ’88,” “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose,” “The John Larroquette Show” and the ABC miniseries based on the famous Stephen King novel, “It.” He also appeared in “Saturday Night Live” and later hosted the show in 1985.

Despite his guest appearances, Anderson largely avoided Hollywood after his run on “Night Court.” Instead, he and his wife, Elizabeth, opened the nightclub Oswald’s Speakeasy in New Orleans in 2000 where Anderson performed. He and his wife also owned a magic and curiosity shop called Sideshow. Following the city’s devastation by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the couple was unable to keep the businesses running though they tried to keep them open and support their community. They were unsuccessful and moved to North Carolina in the following year. When talking about the move, Anderson said that he was “glad we tried to stay, but I don’t want to be the person I will be if I stay here.”

Even though Anderson is best known for his role as an actor, he never thought of himself as such. “I’m a magician, or a performer, by nature,” he said in 2014, “and that’s always what I’ve been.” As his fans can attest, Anderson knew how to put on a show both for his live audiences and for those behind the screen, and his performances will be missed.
