what, or where he is, or who he is with, she would always be happy with him as one of her two dads. Cast and characters Cast Paul Reiser as Michael Taylor Greg Evigan as Joey Harris Staci Keanan as Nicole Bradford Florence Stanley as Judge Margaret W. Wilbur Giovanni Ribisi (credited as Vonni Ribisi) as Cory Kupkus Dick Butkus as Ed Klawicki (seasons 1 & 2) Chad Allen as Zach Nichols (seasons 2 & 3) Amy Hathaway as Shelby Haskell (seasons 2 & 3) Characters The series regularly featured Giovanni Ribisi and Chad Allen as two boys (Cory Kupkus and Zach Nichols, respectively) who competed for Nicole's affections, similar to how her two dads had done for her mother's. Florence Stanley appeared as Judge Margaret Wilbur, who was responsible for assigning Nicole's custody, and who regularly looked over the family; she was also their landlady, being the resident owner of the apartment building where the family lived. Amy Hathaway played Nicole's worldly best friend, Shelby Haskell. The cast was rounded out by former football player Dick Butkus, who managed the cafe on the building's first floor. The cafe (Klawicki's) was the second spot in the show around which a plot usually revolved; the first being the family's apartment. In the third season, when Dick Butkus left the series, the diner was then run by cook Julian (Don), but there was no explanation as to what happened to Ed Klawicki. Ownership of the diner was explained to have been taken over by Judge Wilbur at this point, and it was renamed The Judge's Court Cafe. Night Court crossover My Two Dads had crossovers with another NBC show, Night Court. Judge Margaret W. Wilbur, played by Florence Stanley, appeared on Night Court. In turn, Richard Moll guest starred as his Night Court character Bull Shannon in the My Two Dads episode "Playing with Fire", protecting Judge Wilbur from a recently released criminal that she had sent to prison years before.
