Who is that guy sitting next to Larry inside the bumper cars in the opening credits? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I always saw the 79-80 opening credits and the part when Larry puts his arm around who he thinks is a girl inside the bumper cars, and it's a guy with a mustache, who is he supposed to be?

Just someone riding around. He wasn't supposed to be someone in the show or anything.

He had to be someone important to be featured in the opening credits next to a cast member who was Richard Kline. I know he wasn't on the show but i do know he wasn't a ordinary person who was at the Santa Monica Pier. For example-i found out that the little boy who stares at Mr. Furley when he is yelling at the Lion in the Zoo Opening credits was the son of one of the producers

Well, if he's not an extra, I guess they could have used anyone from the crew to do that scene, who knows.. He kind of looks like a young Howard Stern..

They don't HAVE to be important. He was in the opening for the comedic effect. He was probably an extra they used that day...

He probably was an extra. Just because he was in the opening credits next to Richard Kline, that doesn't mean he was somebody important.

I have to disagree-Why would anybody be chosen to sit next to a cast member in the opening credits? He had to know one of the producers or someone on the production staff.

No it doesn't have to be a person who knew anyone on the set! It would've been mentioned most likely in the TC book if it was. Extras are often in opening credits.

the guy was on crew and the little toddler with the ducks at the zoo is a very young Jason Ritter

was in the opening credits for season 4. The scene with Larry getting into the Bumper Cars and it turned out to be a Man with long hair

It was said he was a intern on the show and Richard Kline forgot his name.

BTW: I never thought it was John Ritter looks nothing like him

Thats a pretty cool and iconic performance for an intern!
