About Roz
The third bailiff on the series, Roz was considerably younger than her two previous counterparts, but had a similar relationship with the characters, especially Bull. Roz's mother enjoyed show business, so her name as well as those of her siblings Slappy, Zsa Zsa, and Topo Gigio, were the names of show business legends. Roz is a caring person with a tough exterior. While outwardly antisocial and unfriendly, she was inwardly shy and self-conscious and used a surly facade to keep people from getting close. In time she became close to her coworkers, including an unlikely friendship with Dan. While she is working at the Municipal Court, Roz finds out that she is diabetic.
