I heard he got that role by filming himself getting pelted with oranges and not missing a single word in the reading of the lines.
RIP Judge Stone... Well you may have known him as Judge Stone from Night Court...but me and my friends knew him as Harry Anderson, a wonderful comic magician before he got that gig and "made the big time" ... he would still do workshops, stopping into magic stores as he traveled.
