While I can't say that I was a huge fan of John Ritter's TV work (I was too young for the Three's Company craze), he seemed like a helluva nice guy. What also impressed me about him was his Sonny Bono-esque humor. He was always the butt of the joke, and people were always laughing at him, yet he always delivered with perfection.

He's done much work on Broadway and in Neil Simon productions--to much acclaim. My all-time favorite role of his was in the movie Noises Off (which incidentally was a Broadway play first, although I'm not sure if he was in it). It's a great story, has a great cast, is funny, and I think it's John Ritter in one of his finest performances. Rent it if you get the chance.
