Just a plain speaking humble man. As a boy I watched his movies on TV in Southern Ca. Wish we had more him today.

Great to see where the greatest actor of the 70's got His witty charm. John certainly resemles His mold.Thanks for sharing.

Humble guy. John Ritter's dad.

I love his singing voice particularly in his younger days-very virile and unique. He sounds very intelligent in this interview.

I had a friend who was a theater manager in Ashland. Kentucky in the late Forties and early Fifties. Quite often, Tex Ritter would stop by for a visit and meet his fans.He did a lot of touring during and after his film career. He also hosted the syndicated cowntry western TV show, Town Hall Dance Party.

Wow interesting.

I guess we’ll never have Men like Tex again. Just calm, collected and pleasant.

Tex was one of my favborite cowboys when I was young. I liked all his movies.

When I was a kid, we would got to the Theater quite often on Saturday afternoon and Liked him as a cowboy and singer, Blood on the saddle was my favorite. I never saw him to much on TV.

One thing is certain. John Ritter would never need a DNA test.

Correction: Tex Ritter ran for U.S. Senator from Tennessee in 1970 and was beaten by Bill Brock who went on to beat the incumbent, Albert Gore Sr.

Though I am not from America (from india) and have only seen Mr Ritter on KZread, I must say that besides being a true and thorough Southern gentlemen, he embodies the mainland culture of usa and I feel he looks, talks and behaves like an original American..I always considered the culture of usa as the one portrayed in old western movies, country and folk music. ..it may sound very stupid but that's what I think..
