The Best Of John Ritter

[Antonio]

FILM
1. Vaughan Cunningham in SLING BLADE
2. Josh in PANIC
3. Zach in SKIN DEEP
4. Stanley Grubman in TADPOLE
5. Ban Hanscom in STEPHEN KING’S "IT"
6. Rider in THE OTHER
7. Franklin Frank in NICKELODEON
8. Chief Warren Kincaid in THE BRIDE OF CHUCKY

TELEVISION

I haven’t yet seen NOISES OFF, STAY TUNED or the PROBLEM CHILD flicks, and I never caught one episode of
8 SIMPLE RULES. Ritter totally surprised me with his two best roles ever…as a Southern gay man in SLING BLADE, and a harried shrink in PANIC. I also admired his work in two quirky yet critically-praised television series...HOOPERMAN and HEARTS AFIRE. I grew up in the 70's watching THREE'S COMPANY, so he'll always be goofy would-be stud Jack Tripper to me. Definitely more of a television actor than film star, but Ritter’s sincerity and comic genius will be sorely missed.

R.I.P.

Sling Blade (8/10)

and he gave a brilliant performance

[Clarkey07]

8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter was one of the best shows on T.V. and he was perfect in the role.

[The Claw]

Bride Of Chucky, Skin Deep and Stay Tuned rocked.

RIP John Ritter

Stay Tuned, Sling Blade, Problem Child, It, and Bride of Chucky.

You'll be missed, John.

Slingblade is unquestionably his best movie and role. I also really enjoyed It, Stay Tuned and Bride of Chucky.

Now I recognize how awful the Problem Child movies are but they were a favorite of mine when I was a kid and therefore, simply for nolstagic reasons, they will always be something of a guilty pleasure of mine.

I have seen some episodes of Threes Company but that was SO long ago therefore I barely remember anything of it. I have never seen an episode of 8 Simple Rules either.

I used to love the man when I was a small child, but his best performance is Vaughan Cunningham in SLING BLADE (9/10). Deserved a best supporting actor oscar nom..
