Jason Ritterlooks so much likeJohn Ritterthat an impression of his late father brought fans to tears when he did it in a TikTok.

Back in September, a fan asked theParenthoodactor to “do the creep face your dad used to do chasing the girls around the apartment on [Three’s Company],” in the comment section on the social media site.

“I was really surprised, especially [because it’s] such a silly face to give people such a nice, warm feeling,” Jason said of the viral moment whilevisitingThe Talk. “It was special. I had no idea. I was just responding to one person and then so many people liked it.”
