| John wants to be remembered... "Just as a guy who was interested in the golden thread that intertwines all of us together. You know, that golden thread that goes through me and you, and the cameraman, and all the people out there and back through Nancy. That what an artist can do, that someone - anyone - could do, if they're willing to pluck that. And either it makes you laugh or it makes you cry, it's that golden thread of humanity, and I'd like to be remembered as maybe a guy who plucked a few of those."
�I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.� ~John Ritter In �Three�s Company�, there is an episode entitled �The Charming Stranger�. In this episode, it is said that during one sene, you can breifly see inside of John�s boxers, a mistake that was never noticed. When John was asked if he preferred that they showed the unedited version of the episode, or the edited version (without the questionable sene) he replied... "I've requested that [Nickelodeon] air both versions, edited and unedited, because sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you don't." ~ John Ritter "Apparently there's this new scandal about how you can see my scrotum hanging out of my blue boxer shorts for a split second on episode 161 of Three's Company. Someone asked me if maybe I did that on purpose. You bet I did!" ~ John Ritter �Three�s Company was originally called Three Companies about a trio of pharmaceutical companies. It was ten times funnier.� ~ John Ritter �I once had a heated argument with Don Knotts. He looked me dead in the eye and said that I wasn�t fit to shine Andy Griffith�s shoes. I stayed up all night thinking about that and I said to myself, �My God, he�s right!� The next day, I quit my job as Andy Griffith�s shoe shiner.� ~ John Ritter �Once during a taping there was an actor who kept blowing his lines. It happened again and again. Finally, Norman Fell came out, he wasn�t even in that scene, but Norman came out and you know what he did? He killed the guy with a hammer.� ~ John Ritter "I was the class clown, but I was also student body president in high school. I had my serious side -- I idolized Bobby Kennedy; he was my role model. But so was Jerry Lewis� ~John Ritter "I would get scripts about a young swinging bachelor on the make, and I said, 'No, I've done that,' What I was looking for in my time off was something a little bit different, a little serious or funny in a different way.� ~ John Ritter "When the curtain went up, no matter how long you've studied or haven't studied at all, you had to answer to the audience. We didn't do retakes. If there was a [microphone] boom in the shot, so be it.� ~ John Ritter "They didn't want to call me 'Robin,' because in those days 'Robin' was thought to be more a girl's name-with apologies to Mr. Williams and Mr. Hood."~John Ritter |
