Marshals Service before becoming a high school counselor.
Judge Judy and her bailiff get along quite well
A few weeks later, Sheindlin reached out.
It turned out that the showdidneed a bailiff.
While the pilot had been shot with an actor playing the bailiff, it didn’t work out.
“They actually pay me very handsomely for what I don’t do,” he said.
He may not be too busy on the show, but being onJudge Judyis far from boring.
Sheindlin is just as admiring of her bailiff.
“Byrd and I have been in sync for 35 years,” she said.
“We get each other.
It makes working together a joy.”
Byrd now not only has 25 seasons ofJudge Judyunder his belt, but also has a thriving acting career.
He’s also branched out into writing with the TV movieTom Hennessey,which is in post-production.
Additionally, Byrd is listed as the producer onTom Hennessey, as well as a few other projects.
