Boy, talk about a jaw dropper. I mean, Johnny Cash wasn’t look any too good recently…which is not to say his death isn’t depressing, but it’s not a total shock. But John Ritter, taking ill right on the set of his series and dying shortly thereafter? What a crying shame. From all accounts an extremely nice guy, a thorough professional, in the midst of a career comeback…and boom.
Heck, I still remember him from the dramedy “Hooperman,” in which his character convinced a suicidal jumper not to jump by dropping a watermelon from the ledge, pointing at the smashed and pulped remains, and saying, “Is that really what you want to wind up looking like?”
bin Laden survives bombings, John Ritter drops dead. I’m reminded of the line from “The Princess Bride”: No one ever said life was fair. It’s jus fairer than death, that’s all.
