Petri Hawkins Byrd Net Worth and Career

 

For his job as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshall, Byrd decided to move to California. He was also working for a short period of time as a student counselor for a high school in that area. Byrd had read in a news column that Judge Judy was about to start her new show and thus wrote her a congratulatory letter where he mentioned his availability if she were to need him.

Judy was not convinced with the test actors for the show and as a result, she decided to call up Byrd. He accepted the offer she made him be the bailiff in the series and started their work relationship in 1996. Over the years, Byrd would become the longest-serving television court show bailiff in history.

Byrd has become his own celebrity over the years as the show has gained a huge fan following. Byrd’s main job in the show is to introduce the cases that are being presented as well as delivering the materials among the judge and the litigants, and finally to escort the people out once the case is over.

Because of the trust that Judge Judy gained over Byrd in the years to follow, his role was able to perform more complex tasks as well including into different aspects of the cases presented in order to find evidence on the spot.

Since the show deals with a lot of altercations and drama, Byrd is also tasked with making sure that no such altercations happen among the parties involved. Judge Judy is known to make different jokes during the show with Byrd often being involved in many of these jokes which the fans find to be amusing.

However, in the 25th season of the show, the pandemic disrupted the normal role that Byrd had since the show was now being done remotely and thus didn’t have the same flair as if it happened like before.

There are now talks of a new spin-off show called Judy Justice but there is now a different bailiff for the show though Byrd has mentioned he would be honored to be a part of it.

Personal Life

Byrd is married to a woman named Felicia with the two tying the knot in 1980. The couple has four children together. In 1989, their relationship had hit a serious rough patch because of which, Byrd and Felicia decided to separate. However, they later entered months of counseling through which they fixed their marriage.
