Recurring actors - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lets play the recurring actor game. Threes Company probably had the most recurring actors in different and various roles that I have ever seen. Here are some that I know but some of you are better than me.

The actress that played Mrs. Roper's aunt in The Older Woman also played the church lady several years later in the episode The Brunch.

Chrissy's boss in A Catered Affair was later Janet's dad in Janet's Secret and another later episode

The police officer in Handcuffed was Cindy's dad in The Case of the Missing Blonde.

The other police officer in Handcuffed was the roommate of Jack's love interest who was sharing an apartment with 2 guys

In the episode Chrissy's Cousin the woman that Larry brings to the apartment as a possible roommate was Jacks love interest in a later episode when she wanted him to work at her father's cardboard company

Roper's niece in the first season was Jack's stalker in Boy Meets Dummy

Cindy's stalker in Here Comes The Bride was Terri's date in Two Flew Over The Cuckoos nest and then later the dentist on Jack goes to the dentist

Janet's date who came to the apartment to talk about ferns when Jack had a broken leg turned out to be Jack's Navy buddy in the later episode Navy Blues

Jack's brother who took out Chrissy also was in another episode but I cant remember which one

Jack's girlfriend in Stanley's Hotline was also the loan officer many years later in Jack Gets His

The doctor in Chrissy's Hospitality was Janet's date in a later episode and I believe in another role in another episode

The grandmother in the Babysitters had a recurring role in multiple later episodes as a nurse with Terri

What have I missed...

That would be actor John Getz he didn't appear in any other TC episode but he has been in tons of movies and TV roles.

.

Actor Keene Curtis appeared in just the two TC episodes but was a frequent guest star in tons of shows.

Another actor is Terry Kiser who was the jealous boyfriend Max wanting to hurt Jack in season 5 and in season 6 was the mafia guy Mr. Cannon who loved Jack's cooking.

You didn't mention Jeffrey Tambor playing a psychiatrist, a guy going after Cindy, & a dentist dating Terri & treating Jack!

So he played 3 roles & was the funniest of the recurring actors.

Chrissy's hooker friend in a $100 for what? was also Janet's married friend in "An affair to forget"

Saw another one this weekend. The church lady in The Brunch was also cast as a relative in The Inheritance when Janet gets that stupid vase

That was a different elderly woman, but the lady from the inheritance episode was also in the episode that had Jack's father visiting, she's the Bistro patron that gets insulted by the Sr. Tripper.

The real estate agent who sold Roper's apartment building also appeared as the gold digger woman who was after Mr Furley in a later episode.

Saw another one last night.
The building inspector in "Going to Pot" was also the Doctor in "Jack's Tattoo."

You are correct. I meant to say the church lady in the Brunch (actress Irene Tedrow) also played Mrs Roper's aunt in The Older Woman.

Found another one. The actor who played the Guru in Chrissy and the Guru was also Janet's dance teacher in Some of that Jazz.

I think I am the only one having fun at this game

But I doubt there is another sitcom that reused as many actors as Threes Company.

Saw another one last night. The woman who had a tiny role in the episode "The Heiress" who played the sister of the deceased at the will reading also was the cranky woman at the Bistro in the episode "Like father, like son."

She also was the potential buyer of the Brady Bunch house in the episode where the kids haunt the house so it does not sell.

And he was in an episode of Three's A Crowd the one that revolved around counterfeit money.
