16 Things the Producers of ‘Three’s Company’ Hid from Fans

8. John Larroquette wasn’t supposed to be seen

John Larroquette (later of Night Court fame) had a small role in Three’s Company playing a cop who catches Jack trying break in to his own apartment while his roommates were asleep. The shot wasn’t supposed to focus on him, so he took matters into his own hands. “So I had to figure out a way to get my hat off. And this is all completely selfish and premeditated. So inside my hat, I’ve written the Miranda rights. So I take my hat off and tell him, ‘You have the right to remain silent.’ So my hat is off for the remainder of the scene, which allows you to see my face and my confidence, as it were. Had I not thought of that, it would have just been this hated cop figure for 30 seconds or whatever, and no one would have really known who he was.”
