John Ritter was best known for portraying Jack Tripper on Three's Company. After that, he was known for playing the voice of Clifford on the PBS kid's show Clifford the Big Red Dog. He was also known for playing Paul Hennessy on 8 Simple Rules until his devasting death. His full name was Johnathan Southworth Ritter. In 1977, he married Nancy Morgan. They had three children together: Jason (born 1980), Carly (born 1982), and Tyler (born 1984). John had another child, Stella (born 1998) from his marriage to his second wife, Amy Yasbeck. His parents were well-known actor Tex Ritter and actress Dorothy Fay. I think John Ritter was a great actor, and always will be remembered.

Good actor that is certainly miss around the acting. His style was very cool and all of his wokr was always done with the passion of great actors. He did a lot of jobs and a lot of acting roles around his career, including movies like "The Problem Child" and "It", and in television with "8 Simple Rules" and "Scrubs". He certainly was one of the best comedy actors of our era. I really was sad when he died.

When I first heard the news of John Ritter's death, I had a lump in my throat. I felt as if I had lost a role-model, or a hero. Although I'm only 14 years of age, and wasn't around for his days back on Three's Company, I became attatched to the show after viewing it several times on TV Land. By then, my family had bacome hooked on 8 Simple Rules, leading me to watch the modern John Ritter. Right as I had seriously begun to look up to him as one of my favorite actors of all time, he suddenly passed away. Though he may have left us, his priceless works are still alive all over television today.

I was born the same month/Year John's Show "Three's Company" Was a #1 Hit For ABC Back in Feb 1978 and I Watched this show when i was a year old up to It's cancellation, I still watch the Re-Runs on TV Land.

I Loved John Ritter from when i first saw him on that show, he became my first childhood crush at the age of 2yrs old & I still love him to this day. He was truely one of the best actors in hollywood though some of his movies were not blockbuster hits, I didnt care I enjoyed just watching him in Problem Child and Stay Tuned (Just to name a few). When i heard the news of his death I felt apart of me die (Really) that just shocked me and took me by surprize as well but now that it's been 7yrs since his death I Miss him Dearly There's never gonna be another actor like John Ritter, Sorry to say but no one not even his son Jason Could ever be like him.
