What Ever Happened to the Cast of Newhart?

Larry Dallas was Jack Tripper’s smooth-talking best friend — a used car salesman with a penchant for wild schemes and womanizing charm. Richard Kline made Larry irresistibly funny, blending confidence and sleaze in a way that made him both ridiculous and endearing. He was the ultimate sitcom sidekick.

Kline joined Three’s Company early in its run and quickly became a fan favorite. His chemistry with John Ritter was electric, creating one of TV’s great comedic duos. Offscreen, Kline’s theater background gave him sharp comedic timing, and he often improvised with Ritter to elevate even the simplest punchlines.
