#27: Early Appearances By Jeffrey Tambor, Patti Smith, And More
Over the years, Three’s Company quietly featured future stars before they were famous. Jeffrey Tambor appeared early in his career, long before The Larry Sanders Show and Arrested Development. Patti Smith showed up years before becoming a familiar TV and film presence, blending right into the show’s revolving door of dates and misunderstandings.
Other guest appearances included actors like Lane Davies and Mary Cadorette, who went on to significant television careers of their own. At the time, they were just another face in Jack Tripper’s orbit. Today, those episodes feel like accidental casting showcases hiding inside a broad, door-slamming sitcom.
