Judge Roth

Judge Roth presides over the courtroom at the center of The Night Of, a figure of procedure and restraint amid a case that is already being tried in headlines. Roth keeps order, rules on motions, and gives little away — a steady, watchful presence above the chaos below the bench.

Glenn Fleshler brings a flat, unshowy authority to the role, letting the character's power sit in stillness rather than speeches. In a story obsessed with bias and spectacle, Roth's studied neutrality becomes its own quiet commentary — a reminder that the system's calm exterior doesn't guarantee its fairness.
