John Bernard Larroquette (born November 25, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an actor in television and the movies.

For many, Larroquette's Fielding was the main draw to the show. Smarmy, crude, and self-centered, he represented the most negative stereotype of a lawyer. However, on many occasions Fielding displayed true warmth and well-timed morality. In a famous example, he talked a chemically-imbalanced Roz (Marsha Warfield) down from a ledge. However, Larroquette's real talent was in his comic timing. His delivery, especially for his libidinous jokes, was perfect.
