Judge Harry T. Stone, Where have you gone?

10

By StarbucksAddict, Jan 26, 2007

Harry Was such a great actor back in the 80's with "Night Court" I Just loved that show! after night court ended his carreer went below Radar and now he's completely off the radar. Whatever happened to Mr. Anderson? I wonder what he's doing now I Miss him! I'll always remember him as Judge Stone on Night Court though now that I got the First Season on DVD. :D
