Sorry, but I'm calling FAKE NEWS on this one.

When Woody Harrelson took over I remember being a young kid growing up and watching night court when i was allowed to stay up late. I remember him being big into magic. One of the bios I read yesterday about him talked about him opening up a magic shop in the french quarter of NO along with a speak easy after he stopped acting full time Edited April 18, 2018 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
