I'm sure you've all noticed some actors playing several different bit parts throughout the run of "Three's Company," like the woman who played the diamond thief also playing the gym instructor, and the many appearances of Jeffrey Tambor, but there were three of these situations that really stood out for me:

Chrissy's boss Mr. Penrose who was after her; that actor also played Janet's father.

Larry's boss (w/out beard), whose wife was after Jack, played Jack's boss (w beard) at the restaurant.

Roper's Niece was Angelino's daughter in another ep. They should've made them actual brothers on the show.

I always though he was the same person! but wasn't very sure!
Thx for clearing it up!

There was that other guy too. Who played Terri's dentist boyfriend, and then her crazy patient, well Jack and Janet thought he was crazy. Then he played the Roper's new neighbor. He was all over the place on the show, they must've really liked him.

And Anne Schedeen, who is usually Linda, Jack's girlfriend, played Louise Prescott, the Loan Officer on last night's episode, Jack Gets His.

oh yeah your right, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out.

Some more are:
"Stranger's in the night", when Jack sarenades the wrong girl, the lady who played Bernice was also in "Janet Shapes up" as the plump girl in the aerobics class.

"An affair to forget" Janet's friend Randy, also plays Chrissy's friend in "A hundred dollars a what?" as Darlene.

Sorry for the double post, but I just remembered another one.
In "Chrissy and the Guru", Rama Mageesh, is also the guy that played Janets Dance instructor, Micheal, in "Some of that Jazz"

There was another weird recasting I just thought of:

The bald physician in "Chrissy's Hospitality, playing the father of one of Jack's dates, who goes out with Janet, in a later ep.

Man in Janet's flower shop in "The Harder They Fall," plays an old navy buddy of Jack's later in the series.

Oh, yeah, Michael Bell, a little tidbit... Where is Michael now? He played the voice of Grandpa Boris on Rugrats!

There's also:

* "Critic's Choice"
Chloe Brown: Louise Williams

* "A Camping We Will Go"
Laura: Louise Williams

AND

* "A Friend in Need"
Mr. Canon: Terry Liser

* "Dying to Meet You"
Max: Terry Kiser

It seems that the writers/producers of Three's Company really enjoyed re-using some of the actors, especially Jeffrey Tambor who appreared as four different characters, throughout the run of the show's eight seasons. Interesting...

Wasn't she the same girl who also was in the skiing episode. The woman who chased Furley around?
