Dallas Roberts and Val Kilmer look alike to me...
I just saw Dallas Roberts in a movie. I have never heard of him before, but was totally distracted when I saw him because his mouth and other actions were so familiar! I finally decided that it was exactly like watching John Ritter talk when he was young. I thought this guy has to be a son! I guess others have seen the similarities also! *S* That is gratifying at least.
I got online to see if Dallas Roberts was related to John Ritter. He really resembles him.. WOW!!
Me and my husband agree he does look like Jonn Ritter.
Amazing resemblance. We noticed it right away--I thought it might be John Ritter's son, or perhaps nephew or very much younger brother.
Oh my gosh! After watching Unforgettable series I almost could not focus on the plot because I could not figure out who he was. I was sure he had to be John Ritter's son! Wow!
I wonder If mr Roberts watched a lot of John Ritter while he was mastering his craft. They both have that metrosexual mannerisms down pat.
I wondered the same thing! I told my husband that this guy HAD to be John Ritter's brother because their mannerisms and looks are almost identical! I know John has a son, Josh, who is also an actor, but he doesn't resemble his dad as much as Dallas Roberts does. How bizarre!!
Dallas Roberts pic posted here may resemble Val Kilmer to you, but if you could see him on TV while he's acting, you'd be surprised to see how much his mannerisms almost match John Ritter's exactly. Wow.
I've been watching Unforgettable for a while now and every time this guy appears, I'm like... he SO must be related to that guy from Three's Company! I can't believe that he isn't!
I just jumped on line immediately after watching 'Unforgettable' for the first time. I googled the program name + 'Ritter' expecting to see that this was John Ritter's son or close relative. At least this thread gives me solace that others are noticing the STRONG similarity.
Wow looks so much like John Ritter couldn't believe my eyes... Glad others think the same.
Dallas reminds me so much of John Ritter. I am so glad others see this also. John was such a unique actor and is missed so much. Dallas will prove himself also as a unique actor. I am sure John would give him his blessing and feel that the similarity between them is the highest form of flattery. Rest in peace John and the best of luck to Dallas for a long and happy acting career.
Ann Ricks I could not have said it better...I too thought Dallas was related to John!!
I would have lost my pay check on this one.. I really thought they were related.
I, too, keep thinking Dallas MUST be related to John, that I keep looking it up. I must be thinking the answers are going to change! LOL
Wow, I was just Googling Unforgettable + Ritter myself when I came across this board, wow I can't believe he's not a Ritter! Its uncanny, even down to some mannerisms
Yes. I just saw him on the good wife and was shocked by the resemblance to John Ritter.
SEEING HIM ON 'THE GOOD WIFE' I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK JOHN RITTER HAD MANY LADY FRIENDS AND HE MUST BE A SON TO HIM. RITTER WASN'T MARRIED IN 1970 WHEN DALLAS WAS BORN AND HE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIS FATHER.
His mannerisms are duplicate to John ritter, smile, and even his voice -its kind of creepy
I think DNA needs to be done, he looks too much like John Ritter for there to be no relation.
wild oats sowed ?
The resemblance to John Ritter is sooo amazing! I thought for sure he was his son or brother! Not only looks, but his mannerisms!
Dallas Roberts is John Ritter's son from his first marriage.
Wiki entry for Dallas Roberts says his dad is John Ritter and his mother is Catherine Roberts. But in Ritter's IMdB biography, he has never been married to her. And I could not find a record of them ever being together. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000615/bio
they arent related
First time I seen Roberts was on TWD i was positive he was related to John Ritter...i never thought he looked like val kilmer...but this guy could play john ritter in a bio thats is for sure
I totally thought he was one of John ritters sons, he has two that are actors but I can't believe this isn't one of them. The resemblance is freakish.
I was watching shadow people and if the movie info hadn't said it was Dallas Roberts I would have thought it was John Ritter.
Just looked again and John ritter died 9 or 10 years before this move ever was aired.
Agreed
I checked Wikipedia and can't see that reference ��
Too many similarities for there to be no connection. And only a reference to his father being a Texan. Doesn't the Texan hAve a name?
First off you don't need to be married to father a child. I did see on wiki that John Ritter was Dallas's father and it seems to be removed.
The dates add up and he is the spitting image of John Ritter.
I agree to many similarities for Dallas not to be John Ritters Relative.
Also strange that John Ritter, son Tyler and ? d
Dallas Roberts all are straight but play Gay gay guys on TV series
He looks like John Ritter but if you close your eyes and listen to him talk, JOHN MALKOVICH comes out. Its freaky.
I would have bet ANYTHING that Dallas Roberts was a son of John Ritter!!! I swear it seems almost impossible that there is no relation!!! He is a TWIN of John Ritter!!!!
I would have bet ANYTHING that Dallas Roberts was a son of John Ritter!!! I swear it seems almost impossible that there is no relation!!! He is a TWIN of John Ritter!!!!
Just watched several episode of Law & Order and Chicago P.D. and Dallas could definitely be John Ritter brother. The resemblence is eerie. Really it is. Dallas Roberts is a very good actor.
Could've SWORN he Was John Ritter' son!
They're nearly identical! Especially their eyes and their foreskin!
At the time of Roberts birth, John Ritter was 22 years old, and not a big name . Maybe he and the Mom felt they were too young to get married.The only one to answer this question is and DNA test from Ritter's children.
There are a lot of children from unmarried Mom's who don't know their dad's . DNA is the only way to find out if you suspect someone.
Except his mom was not an adulterer
OMG! I love SVU and always thought Dallas Roberts was the son of John Ritter! So shocked to discover they are not related what so ever! If they need someone to play the role of John Ritter, they would be crazy not to use Dallas Roberts. Dead ringer!
He his bother
Somehow they have to be related. Although it has been said that we have a twin somewhere, this is Johns twin no doubt about it.
Yep
Until there's dna proof to the contrary, these two are related.
LMAO, I do the same
I would have also, just watched him on Chicago PD and googled him because I was sure this was John Ritters son!
Its gonna be his dad watch his dad is going to be dallas grandfather somehow - No need to besmich Dallas mom
Here it is 2021 and I was certain that this HAD to be John Ritter's son. Very difficult to believe they are not related!
For real..but how cool is it
Watching Chicago PD and saw DR on the show, thought for sure this was JR’s son. Maybe DR mama had a secret affair and he is their love child.
Every time I see Dallas Roberts the resemblance to John Ritter freaks me out.
I was just watching law and order and the lawyer, (dallas) my first thought was this must be old cause that looks like John ritter. I check the episode and it says dallas roberts, I never heard of him and it took me here. I now feel better that even others say they are doppelgangers!! I'm truly amazed they are NOT related.
Ditto
Dallas Robert’s has to be John ritters illegitimate son. He looks more like him than his own sons. I think somebody needs to do a dna test
I cannot believe that Dallas Roberts is not kin to John Ritter. He could pass for his son. I mean he has mannerisms and the way he talks and the way he looks. It blew my mind to find out that they are not into each other.
I saw him on TV 2 times.its amazing how much they look alike and not related. Amazing.😱😏
Me too everytime I see him I do the same thing. And it still turns out no relation.😂😂😂😂😂😂me dimbazz...
I've always heard we all have a twin out there somewhere and these two have to be twin's.
