John Larroquette (who would go on to star in “Night Court” and a number of other projects) landed the role of a police officer in one episode of “Three’s Company.”
Apparently, his face wasn’t supposed to be seen, but Larroquette boosted his cameo appearance by removing his hat so the audience could see who he was.
Suzanne Somers Was Hired at the Last Minute.
Many actresses auditioned for the coveted role of Chrissy Snow, but producers were not impressed with any of them who stopped by.
However, while reviewing the tapes again, they developed a new-found interest in Suzanne Somers' audition and cast her as Chrissy the day before production began. What a lucky break!
The Cast Almost Sang the Theme Song
The producers could look back at "Three’s Company" and see the show as a success but they almost made a highly questionable move in the sitcom’s development. Producers originally decided that they wanted Ritter, DeWitt, and Somers to sing the theme song.
It was revealed later though, that the actors were, well, best at just acting so the actual singers' Ray Charles (not the Blues musician) and Julia Miller were brought in instead.
Somers Departure from The Show Hurt Her Friendship with Ritter and DeWitt
On-set tension can be a major test of an actor’s performance. After the major salary drama involving Somers and her departure from the show, she sadly ended her relationship with her co-stars.
It was revealed that things were rocky well before her exit as DeWitt and Ritter would not even speak to her during filming.
Suzanne Somers Shows Up in the Credits Wearing a Wig
In the opening credits for the show, viewers see Jack ride his bike past a brunette woman who has her back turned to the camera.
She is apparently very beautiful and makes Jack crash his bike. Well, the beautiful brunette was actually Suzanne Somers in a wig!
