I just watched the A&E Biography on John Ritter. I was touched. I cried, even. John Ritter is one of those few actors that has actually meant a lot to me. When he died, it left a big hole in my heart. John Ritter had been a part of my life since, well, since before I knew what being gay meant, before I knew what a lot of things meant. I grew up watching Three's Company and many other shows and movies John was in. I still remember being pleasantly surprised when he guest starred on Buffy as a robot. And I loved 8 Simple Rules when it debuted. When he died, I was shocked. I'm still convinced the obit I wrote about him for the University Star at SWT was the best, if not the most emotional, thing I ever wrote. I still miss him and forget that he is dead. I wish he were still here to share his brand of comedy and living with us.
