John Ritter good-natured 1985 backstage interview

[@qbtc]

This was John Ritter at the height of his fame and he's as humble as if it were 1977 when he was a relative unknown. Down to earth, genuine and funny. Those qualities added immensely to the charm of three's company. He made the 80's and my childhood better.

[@joemartin1253]

John Ritter was one of the few actors that hit me hard when he passed away.

[@Swav.Zielin]

I got to see him live on stage with Henry Winkler in NYC! I mean he was very far away, I took standing section just see him.

[@ciadella1971]

Same. And Robin Williams.

[@richi1074]

Yes, and John Candy.

[@danielmarquis5258]

Same here 💯!! RIP to a Legend!!

[@stephaniesoutherland6493]

Me too. The worst. I loved him so much. ❤

[@lorireece1970]

He was sooo cute and hilariously funny! I binge watch DVR’d Three’s Company reruns. Best sitcom ever!

[@abeltesfaye_]

I remember buying the DVD set when I was in highschool in 2008! I'm only 27 but started watching the show when I was a little girl and have loved it ever since 😊

I agree, Lori!!! I still do at 45!!! 😊

[@mariareresutton2859]

He was sooo handsome 😢❤❤

[@piscesempress1978]

Very few people I truly miss and John Ritter is one of them. He was a kind, decent, empathic man who everyone seemed to adore. He is still missed to this day by me and I am sure millions of others.

[@sarahboudreault7779]

John Ritter, oh how I wish you were here. One of the great loves of my life. I still watch Three's Company regularly. You were one of the kindest, sweetest, genuine, loving, hilarious, charming, beautiful people on the planet. I don't know what your spiritual beliefs were but I hope with every ounce of my being that you're safe in the arms of Jesus! ♥️♥️♥️

[@abeltesfaye_]

I used to watch 3's Company on Pluto & on tv (Logo, ch. 187) and instead, decided to buy Seasons 1-8 Complete Series DVD set! Ebay or Amazon. I think it was $50 or $60. WELL worth it!! Now, it's like he's always with me! The dvds play beautifully, unedited, uncut/ long versions. I love it! yes, he is hilarious! 😂😅Gone way too soon. I'd give ANYTHING in this entire world if the good Lord could bring him back.❤❤ Love & miss you, John. ❤💔 R.I.P. 💔😥😢😓

You can tell when a person is a dirtbag, but he seems like a really cool, nice, down to earth guy.

[@fluttergirl75]

I just said in my comment above that when I met him, he was exactly who I hoped he would be. Funny, down to earth, and kind.

[@TempeSoldier123]

[@fluttergirl75]

@@TempeSoldier123, at my friend Louise's house. He worked with her sister Dorothy Stratten before her murder. He came up to Vancouver to check on Dorothy's family from time to time.

[@piscesempress1978]

Exactly, I can usually about 98 percent of the time tell you who is a dirtbag, and who is a kind person, and John was the real deal, he was a kind, loving person . I never heard anything bad about him from any sources.

[@TheFiestyhick]

​@@piscesempress1978 Yes, he's one of the very very few famous actors that wasn't outted as either being a pervert, drunk, druggie or asshole. Very rare indeed

[@FlickaLovaReturns]

Wait a minute. John Ritter is not just in Three's Company, but also he is the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Not too many genuine people like that anymore.. it's a hell of a shame. He left behind a lot of laughs for us.. so when your down, go watch some three's company! My God, There's noone that can trip and fall over stuff and make it as funny as he did. Maybe Chris Farley!? Two people! I mean.. we really lost a special person.

[@barryjones9362]

I wonder whether any people involved in real co-ed living arrangements in Santa Monica, California between 1975-1983 tried to make their lives imitate Three's Company.

[@matchpoint14]

He was 3's Company without him it was nothing. I don't care who else they chose to play Jack (if they had not chose John) it would not have been on the same level, it probably would not have even worked past the second season.

[@ToddCWiggins]

Ironically, He and Nancy were divorced after that.

[@Swav.Zielin]

that's why maybe he was so hesitant to give the "happily married" year count, and fumbling through the number

[@KolossalYouth]

Not saying they weren't already have problems but they didn't divorce until a decade after this interview.
