Emmy award-winning actor John Ritter, who gained fame playing bumbling and loveable characters in a pair of television comedies decades apart, has died suddenly due to a previously undetected arterial problem, his representatives say.
Ritter collapsed on Thursday evening while filming "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter", the ABC television comedy which had reinvigorated his career and was a centrepiece of the network's upcoming autumn season.
Ritter was best known for his portrayal of Jack Tripper in the 1970s situation comedy "Three's Company", which won him Emmy, Golden Globe and People's Choice awards.
A prolific actor, Ritter recently reconnected with television audiences as the star of "8 Simple Rules". He was 54.




Sheesh, between this post and the one I just did in the General forum I feel like the Grim Reaper but I'll blame it on the fact that I wake up really early and get early morning news...

Don't be so hard on yourself my friend. You lost the woman of your dreams, but you still have Zoidberg. You all still have Zoidberg!

I haven't seen 8 Simple Rules but I heard good things about it. I also thought he did a good job in Slingblade.


And I think that "Jack Tripper" may have been one of my first little 7 or 8 year old girl crushes on a celebrity. Well, and Andy Gibb too.
Oh dear. I'm sensing a pattern here.

and Johnny Cash too! Man, this sucks!

Well its all sad and such, and although I didnt mind '8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter' I didnt really Like him that much. something about him sorta bugged me *shrug* sorry.

'The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone,Let others follow it who can!Let them a journey new begin,But I at last with weary feetWill turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.'
