Collapsed on the set of his sitcom from an undetected heart mumor apparently...

I liked John Ritter. Three's Company, Sling Blade, that cool episode of Buffy where he was a robot, Bride of Chucky and even the first flick where he adopts that kid from hell.

I dunno, I kinda liked him. That's too bad, he wasn't very old.

*raises juice glass*

Here's to ye, John Ritter. You weren't on the best shows on TV, but they were entertaining. Well, some of them, at least.

Yea, I can hear the angels singing the tune, as you walk to the gates of heaven. Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you...

*takes a drink*

Mmmm...I loves me Juicy Juice.

Ritter was an inspiration to me as an actor, being physical but being smart with his humor. He will be sorely missed by the acting community as well as his fans. God speed.

He was also the voice of Clifford on PBS. The show won't be the same without him.

I used to watch Three's Company religiously when I was a kid. Damn this sucks.

Ack....There's another thread on this in the 'News' forum. IMDB says he died of a heart condition.

Well that sucks... Looks like the Problem Child finally caught up with him... Hopefully they don't do anything stupid like make a special called "Two's Company" or something...

this just shows, you dont know what you got till its gone, i reall didnt appreciate him until today, i always liked him, because he seemed like a truly nice man, and very warm, i also feel bad for his castmates on 8 simple rules, the show was turing into a very big break-out show, but..... :(

I thought he did a great job playing a wife beater in that telefilm.
