Great actor all around


He was pretty diverse in any roles he was given

He was really good in Slingblade, he was funny but also good at serious roles.

I liked him as L. Frank Baum in the Dreamer of Oz TV movie.

You are so right about him in Slingblade. I loved him in that.

Slingblade was great. What a weird but interesting movie.

I like the way you talk.

Can I get s'more of those fried taters?

I love your user name! ^^ great movie, watching it at this exact moment for the 20th time or something like that.

And I love John Ritter. He is one of those actors who never really made a groundbreaking performance but kinda made the middle 80s up to the middle 90s for me. I was born in the beggining of the 90s and remember watching Problem Child as one of my first movies ever. Up to this day I still watch it from time to time and Ritter's comedic tallent is one of the things that make the movie imo.

Glad to see people still talk about him even though he's been dead for over 10 years now.

For me it was his roles in Real Men and Skin Deep which I loved.

Real Men is also a favourite of mine for Jim Belushi.

Amen

A man with rare natural comedic timing. Gone far too soon and tragically unnecessary.
Three's Company was top tier sit-com of the era. In my top 5 of all time. It had a major impact on my childhood.
