While not my favorite actor, he was still hillarious on Three's Company.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

He seemed like a good guy. Sad, he was way too young.

Wow, he was recently on Conan O'Brien the other night (same night as Dana Carvey and Ted Nugent)...he was hilarious...I'd never thought too much of him as an actor.  But after seeing him and Dana Carvey goofing off, I was nearly in tears...what a pair those two were.

sigh!  Too young

I thought he was great.  Raw comedic talent.  I am stunned.   John.

I always thought he was a decent actor, and pretty versatile in the roles he took. My son watches "Clifford, the Big Red Dog" every morning, which he provided the voice for.

Sounds like his heart condition could've been cured had it been diagnosed. How sad.

and R.I.P.

anybody ever see that movie he made with Jim Balushi? Where he trades a glass of water for "the good package" and not the "Big gun"?

 S! thanks for the laughs and the memories!  You will be missed....

That movie was "Real Men".  I've been patiently waiting for it to come out on DvD.

yes it was :)  I saw it just a couple of months ago on HBO.  Dang the more I think about this the sadder I get.   Three's Company was a HUGE part of my childhood.  I liked it better than Happy Day's even.

 What a shame :(

Wow. I always liked John Ritter, he was never my favorite but, I always enjoyed his work. Three's Company and Real Men were the 1st roles that popped into my head when I read this and I just watched Tadpole the other night (good movie). With all the scandals that come out of Hollywood, I don't ever remember him being involved in one. He was a good guy and will be missed. :(
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

 You know I got to thinking about this, this morning.   I have no clue weather John Ritter was a liberal or a conservative, and I like it like that!  I can ASS-U-ME that he was a liberal, but you never know.  He did his trade, comedic acting, and he did it well.   He made me happy, never made me angry or never dissagreed with me :)   He did his thing and was successful at it.

 He will definitely be missed, didn't realize how much until today :(

I can't even drive a car that far without stopping to smoke and eat.
