Default Who was the better bad guy: Michael Bell or Terry Kiser?

I thought both of these guys played excellent bad guys/villains when they appeared on Three's Company.


Terry Kiser
Played the boyfriend in "Dying to Meet You"
Played the mobster in "A Friend in Need"



Michael Bell
Played the Guru
Played the Dance Teacher


I'd have to go with Michael Bell. I just hated that guy so much in both episodes. He was so smug. Kiser was a mean guy, but he had more charm to him.

At least Terry Kisser was funny. He was the guy who wanted to beat up Jack for talking to his woman. So Jack fakes his own death and even goes so far as to lay in a coffin at a funeral parlor.
Terry Kisser was funny in the other episode he was in too. I think he's the one who ate Jack's super spicy spaghetti at Angelino's Restaurant.

The other bad guy, Michael Bell is just SO CREEPY!

I always wished David Dukes came back as another character so Jack would have a legitimate reason to punch him out

Terry Kiser was just so much more enjoyable especially as the mobster Mr. Cannon who has a soft spot for loving your mother.

And a bit of trivia here Michael Bell is an accomplished voice over actor probably best known as Duke and many more characters on G.I.Joe.

Does anyone recall Elmo, Chrissy's date when she has to pretend she's Furley's wife? And Larry walks in and says, "What's that???" So funny.

Between Kiser and Bell, I'd have to say Bell is creepier, but Kisers seems more dangerous. I dunno if it's how he speaks or what, but he always seemed halfway in the bag/on something and sort of a loose cannon.

Terry Kiser. I'm watching the first season of Night Court and it's funny seeing him play a total wimp on that show and knowing what a badass he was on TC. Good actor.

Antenna TV ran an episode of Diff'rent Strokes in which Kiser played a bungling burgler, great actor.

He was kind of goofy as a burglar. He didn't have that mean presence like he did the 2 times he appeared on Three's Company
