We accidentally misspoke, the great actor John Ritter died in 2003, not 2013. RIP to all these fine actors. Skin Deep is also Ritter's best film. Watch it.
John Ritter's death was greatly overshadowed by Johnny Cash's death, which occurred around the same time in 2003. So some people may not have known (or forgot since it was 17 years ago)
Merlin Santana died because that girl, Monique King, told the dude who shot him that Merlin Santana had tried to raped her. She got ten years. The other man in the car got 23 years.
John Ritter's death wasn't that overshadowed. His sitcom "8 Simple Rules..." was doing well at the time and his death was highly publicized . 17 years later maybe younger folks don't know about it but anyone who watched network TV in the early 2000's would have remembered it.
I adored 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter. I actually teared up to see Kaley Cuoco on TBBT with Katey Sagal portraying her mother because it reminded me so much of 8 Simple Rules and how the two are united in their grief over Ritter's very premature death.
@@jasonmacdonald9090 Yes, I’m aware lol. It’s a double entendre. Did you watch this video? The actor Romeo Santana died, and it was the same year Aaliyah died.
I remember hearing about him when he died. They mentioned how he made appearances on the Cosby show. I had to google him and see if I could recognize which one he played. Then it all came together and I remembered who he was. He was very young and his life was cut short. Very sad.
Man, seeing Merlin's face brings me to tears. Then, watching his story and realizing Brandon Adams was also with him makes me cry harder. That was one of the most tragic deaths I can remember for my generation...
I'm kind of surprised that they didn't mention Bernie Mac since he had "The Bernie Mac show" but I think everybody know he's dead😔 I meet the man like a year or 2 before he pass away. Great human being so down to earth and sooo well dress it still chokes me up
Yeah the reboot Mentioned He died, but I dont recall it mentioning how. also Darlene named her son after him. So by that , and the fact that he ( the son) is like 12 or something I'm assuming they are saying he died 12 years ago ( the character, not actually Glenn, who died before )
John Ritter was one of the best comedians for Three's Company, Problem Child, Clifford, and 8 Simple Rules. We were all shocked, when he passed away in 2003.
Not gonna lie this video makes me wanna change my life! Just sucks when you get stuck in a cycle gotta pull yourself out of it and try to appreciate you're time even more!..
Uncle Phil died from Complications during open-heart surgery on December 31, 2013, he was pronounced on the operating table. I was shocked when channel 1 announced it.
Seto Kaiba Dont be an ass like that. Kellie Shanygne Williams (Laura) was cute too. Michelle was 8 years older and a pageant winning beauty queen. She was HIRED to be pretty enough to pry Steve from Laura.
Awww, you missed the child actor Judith Barsi. She also played in Growing Pains, voiced Ducky in The Land Before Time and that also voiced the black haired girl Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven. She was killed by her father in 1988. The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go to Heaven were produced posthumously, meaning after she was killed by her father... Poor girl
I feel like there was a BIG important part of Max Wright's story you left out. And having John Ritter on here is ridiculous. His death was so big that it's hard to believe people don't know about it.
Ritter didnt die during a surgery. He died on set when his heart just stopped. due to not being diagnosed he was DOA. this is why school age athletes are tested bc kids died of it too during games.
christal savoy He felt sick on set, and went to the ER. He was treated initially for a heart attack, but it was shortly discovered thereafter when he was not getting better that he had an aortic dissection. He died in the hospital. I had heard that he died during surgery, but that information is hard to find. Still, he didn’t drop dead on set.
And they talked a lot about her alcohol abuse- but I don’t think that was her real problem. I remember reading about how, right after she was welcomed back to “That 70s Show”, she went to a famous Beverley Hills hair stylist and people all saw her with white powder in her nose, and she even accidentally let a bag of white powder fall out of her purse. It was of course reported back to bigwigs at the show and they fired her. They came right out and said everyone at the show cared about her, but they weren’t about to condone or enable her addiction.
I did because I looked her up because it seemed like I was wondering where she went and it seemed like they just steroe typed her and kind of went by what she was betraying.
I remembered watching 8 simple rules 2013 when john Ritter actually died it was sad he died as the dad on the show and in real life I remember crying also I loved watching Alf as a kid didn't know the guy just passed last year my younger brother had the alf teddy lol James Avery was the best uncle I loved and still love fresh prince uncle Phil was my fav character
True title: people you knew died because they were highly televised and reported on but we needed a catchy title to make you click. Seriously, who didn't know James Avery died?
While I did know about James Avery, I didn't know about Gary Coleman until this video. Though to be fair, I'm European and his name around here doesn't really mean much. He's really not that famous outside of the US. Famous enough for me to (just barely) know who he is and what he's known for, but that's about it.
I think you didn’t know that most of these actors passed away. John Ritter, Merlin Santana, Lisa Robin Kelly, and Gary Coleman’s deaths were all covered on the news and online.
@@oceaser6977 I'm not sure but I do remember that he had gotten into several altercations with people asking him to say "Whatchyoutalkin'about, WIllis !?!" He was tired of people asking him that constantly and he finally just lashed out, on several occasions.
I watch Santana almost everyday in the Steve Harvey show reruns almost everyday and think he's so good looking.... I didn't even know he passed away! RIP Romeo
I still cry about John Ritter. His smile was like a rainbow. RIP sweet man. Will you lot calm down about the John Ritter error. My God we are humans and we make mistakes. Also it's a 10 min video, the narrator can't include everyone who has ever passed away. Thank you for the video.

I knew about all of them. Surprised didn't mention one of the twins from Everybody love Raymond or 7th Heaven. Oh wait, I guess they weren't high profile actors.
Knew all had passed except for Rosario. Also didn't know she was on Flying Bun I remember that character. She looked familiar on W and G. But couldn't place her. Thanks! Who doesn't know about John Ritter!
The way 8 Simple Rules handled his passing on the show was such an amazing tribute. It felt so real, mainly because it was. It was as if every viewer was at the memorial service. RIP JR
John Ritter’s death hits me the hardest out of all these actors and actresses. If he would have never died like he did I believe 8 Simple Rules would have been a smash hit of a sitcom.
Right! And also, not that many remember this, but he played the fictional popstar Dante on Half & Half like only weeks before he was killed. I think that was really his last-ever appearance.
I'm aware of all of these and remember the somber few weeks after each one. Will Smith crying on Uncle Phil's shoulder asking why he wasn't good enough for his "dad" was *real* and I'll always remember that scene.
I thought A LOT of people already knew that Gary Coleman and John Ritter died though. You could have either replaced several actors on this list or added these to the list: Josh Ryan Evans -- from the show 'Passions' Vanessa Marquez--'E.R.' Sawyer Sweeten-- 'Everybody Loves Raymond' Glenn Quinn-- 'Angel' and 'Roseanne'( the original verison) Andy Hallett -- 'Angel' Mark Frankel--'Kindred: The Embraced' Also, I knew that Merlin Santana was murdered, but I had no idea until now that Brandon Quintin Adams was in the car with Merlin when he got killed and that the murderer tried to kill him as well. Wow. He's very lucky to be alive!😯
Phil Hartman was hilarious. i was born in 92, so i knew john Ritter more from the problem child films than three's company/ three's a crowd.. which I've finally seen a good amount of on antenna tv's "METV". Also saw a few episodes of "10 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter" //
He was also a main character in Maude. I never understood how Dana Plato got the job as she was a horrible, horrible actress who was constantly outshined by everyone on Diffr'nt Strokes. I can't imagine how she even passed the audition. I mean, as dumb as shows like Facts of Life were, at least you could tell these people talent.
Oh yes and after Different Strokes ended he dropped off the radar. Then new onlne came that he'd passed away in Canada, old age I believe. I admired him for playing P-Drummond A-Harmon.
I’ve stared at the black dog for a long time, the last time I did I ended up in hospital for a week. I was saved by an angel, well actually my 81yo neighbour who called the police. I made a promise then that I’d never go that dark again and I haven’t. Truly if you are struggling talk to someone, anyone who’ll listen. Call a helpline, call a friend or family member but please always remember that things will and always do get better, I’m proof.
I knew of all these but still doesn't ease the sadness. I'm glad you mentioned Suddenly Susan because for years I always remembered a sitcom episode that seemed to be part scripted & part real because of an actors passing or something but couldn't think of the name. That was a deep episode.
Seriously, who didn't know about John Ritter? Hoobastank did a great tribute of the Threes Company song during the Linkin Park Meteora tour after he passed. RIP John Ritter : (
and the week that John Ritter passed away, "Nick@Nite" ran an all-week marathon of Three's Company as a tribute to him. And LOGO currently runs marathons of Three's Company now.
Wow all these are sad but the one that got to me was Merlin Santana .I had a bit of a crush on him when he played on The Cosby show.If I had not of ran across this video I would never have known.
Out of all of them, Merlin Santana make me the saddest 😥😔😢😣😣😩😫😭. Why he had to die so young! He was very talented and so handsome. God help us all 😩😩😩.
Do you know what’s considered “many people?!” ..... RIP. They weren’t irrelevant. Some were more known than others, but we known. This was news. Especially John Ritter, Gary Coleman and James Avery.
We accidentally misspoke, the great actor John Ritter died in 2003, not 2013. RIP to all these fine actors. Skin Deep is also Ritter's best film. Watch it.

Is that the one with the chick who dated the Joker? I can't remember her name but I think the government killed her later on.
@Dywane Carter 2003 actually
Not to forget he was a huge star in the 70s because of threes company. He was a cool guy

I thought A LOT of people already knew that Gary Coleman and John Ritter died though.
You could have either replaced several actors on this list or added these to the list:
Josh Ryan Evans -- from the show 'Passions'
Vanessa Marquez--'E.R.'
Sawyer Sweeten-- 'Everybody Loves Raymond'
Glenn Quinn-- 'Angel' and 'Roseanne'( the original verison)
Andy Hallett -- 'Angel'
Mark Frankel--'Kindred: The Embraced'
Also, I knew that Merlin Santana was murdered, but I had no idea until now that Brandon Quintin Adams was in the car with Merlin when he got killed and that the murderer tried to kill him as well. Wow. He's very lucky to be alive!😯
I didn't know Coleman died. Ritter, yes.
RIP uncle phil😢
I remember how several episodes of Entertainment Tonight were dedicated to covering the details of Sir Gary Coleman's death.
They started listing more and more well known deaths .. I mean “First things first RIP uncle Phil
Phil Hartman was hilarious.
i was born in 92, so i knew john Ritter more from the problem child films than three's company/ three's a crowd.. which I've finally seen a good amount of on antenna tv's "METV". Also saw a few episodes of "10 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter" //
ME TV great!!
The way Phil Hartman died is the most terrible thing ever. I hope that bitch that killed him rots in hell.
Does anyone remember Conrad Bain from Different Strokes? He and Dana Plato were in the same series. She was so young.
He was also a main character in Maude. I never understood how Dana Plato got the job as she was a horrible, horrible actress who was constantly outshined by everyone on Diffr'nt Strokes. I can't imagine how she even passed the audition. I mean, as dumb as shows like Facts of Life were, at least you could tell these people talent.
It is really sad that Todd Bridges is the only cast member of Different Strokes that is still with us.
Oh yes and after Different Strokes ended he dropped off the radar. Then new onlne came that he'd passed away in Canada, old age I believe. I admired him for playing P-Drummond A-Harmon.
Very nice tributes
I’ve stared at the black dog for a long time, the last time I did I ended up in hospital for a week. I was saved by an angel, well actually my 81yo neighbour who called the police. I made a promise then that I’d never go that dark again and I haven’t. Truly if you are struggling talk to someone, anyone who’ll listen. Call a helpline, call a friend or family member but please always remember that things will and always do get better, I’m proof.
@blaqscorpion78 unfortunately for me, there is no one. My ex moved away with the kids and I’m still single. Though my dog keeps me going.
I knew of all these but still doesn't ease the sadness. I'm glad you mentioned Suddenly Susan because for years I always remembered a sitcom episode that seemed to be part scripted & part real because of an actors passing or something but couldn't think of the name. That was a deep episode.
Seriously, who didn't know about John Ritter? Hoobastank did a great tribute of the Threes Company song during the Linkin Park Meteora tour after he passed. RIP John Ritter : (
and the week that John Ritter passed away, "Nick@Nite" ran an all-week marathon of Three's Company as a tribute to him. And LOGO currently runs marathons of Three's Company now.
I really miss Andrew Koenig. He was a good person and a sweet guy 💖
rest in peace Arthur from King of Queens
2all.the beautiful actors/actress may you all r.i.p.evendoe it's been a' while!!.gone but never 4gotten!!!
Sitcom actors you didn’t know passed away. Names 3 of some of the most high profile deceased sitcom actors.
John Ritters work in 8 simple rules was amazing and also his work in the original version of IT
Should be titled: sitcom stars you probably knew were dead or aren’t surprised they are.
Wow all these are sad but the one that got to me was Merlin Santana .I had a bit of a crush on him when he played on The Cosby show.If I had not of ran across this video I would never have known.
RIP to all those who have passed.
Rest in peace all these celebrities. Overdue condolences to the families :-(
James Avery is still one of if not the best TV Dad to this day.
I really really miss Gary Coleman!!!
If people knew that they passed away it wouldn't change anything. Those actors would still be dead.
I'm totally finding and watching that Batman movie. Never even heard of that one.
Great video Stay safe
John Ritter passed away on September, 11th 2003 not 2013.
Out of all of them, Merlin Santana make me the saddest 😥😔😢😣😣😩😫😭. Why he had to die so young! He was very talented and so handsome. God help us all 😩😩😩.
Do you know what’s considered “many people?!” ..... RIP. They weren’t irrelevant. Some were more known than others, but we known. This was news. Especially John Ritter, Gary Coleman and James Avery.
Rip Lisa Robin Kelly man 😢. She was an amazing and underrated actor. I really missed her as Laurie. I wish she had gotten better 😢.
First things first, Rest In Peace Uncle Phil
