John Ritter is a brilliant actor. He first really came onto the scene in "Three's Company", playing the hilarous Jack Tripper. In this show, Ritter would demonstrate his great wit and apt for physical comedy.
John also did movies such as "Stay Tuned" "Sling Blade". I remember "Stay Tuned" when I was a kid. And in the spring of 2001, I remember taking a VHS of the movie and playing the "Three's Company" parody over and over, and getting a laugh every time John would scream.
He also was a great philanthropist. His brother, Tom, suffers from cerebral palsy. John had been working with United Cerebral Palsy for over twenty years.
In 2002, Ritter starred in the ABC show "Eight Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter". This long-titled show was about the father of three teenagers. It was a great show. However, during the second season, while getting ready for an episode, John fell ill and was brought to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, the hospital he was born, where he sadly died at the age of 54, short a week from his birthday, his anniverary, a day from his wife's birthday, and on his daughter Stella's birthday.
He will be missed.
