You knew him as the judge on the hit sitcom "Night Court." Harry Anderson has passed away at the age of 65.

TMZ reports the actor died in his home today in North Carolina. While no cause has been announced, foul play is not suspected, according to police.

Along with playing Judge Harry Stone on "Night Court" from 1984 - 1992, Anderson is also known for having a recurring role as Harry "The Hat" Gittes on "Cheers." Anderson also had numerous appearances on "Saturday Night Live" in the early 80s.

The Rhode Island native, who lived in North Carolina, leaves behind his wife and two kids.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Sad. He did excellent stand up too. He did one routine where he juggled bowling balls. RIP

R. Lee Emery?! Noooooooooo! That guy was great.

Let’s at least spell the guy’s name properly in death.

I don't think he is too upset about it...

Harry Anderson had a pretty colorful life. He did an interview on Fresh Air back in '89. Fun Fact:  He didn't set out to be an actor.  He was hired as the con man in Cheers because he was a con man. Then the people casting Night Court didn't know he wasn't an actor and offered him the role.

"No man goes round boasting of his vices,” he said, “except golfers."

Ermey had to be one of the strongest typecast guys around-But he did it so well!

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.
