Woody Harrelson has become a massive star since rising to fame on “Cheers.” He’s won a countless number of awards and been nominated for many more. Harrelson’s able to pull off a multitude of roles, and he manages to wow us whether in a drama or a comedy.
One of the bigger things he’s done over the past decade includes playing Haymitch in “Hunger Games.” In addition to his acting, he’s also done some off-screen work when he wrote, directed, and produced “Lost in London” in 2016.
Leah Remini
Leah Remini is perhaps most well-known for her starring role as the sweet yet sarcastic, Carrie Heffernan on CBS’ s "The King of Queens." On the show, she plays opposite her on-screen husband, played by Kevin James.
Remini has also recently been noted for her memoir, "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology." In the book, she details her experience with growing up as a member of the church. Over the years, she has won several awards for her work, including a few Emmys.
Woody Boyd
Another famous face that found his fame on "Cheers," Woody Harrelson played a character by the same name on the show. Boyd isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, which makes it scary when he marries someone of the same intelligence level on the show. Luckily, we later hear that their son “is of normal intelligence.”
Woody appears in an episode of Frasier, which is titled, “The Show Where Woody Shows Up.” In it, he rekindles his friendship with the Dr., and they share a drink before parting ways. His final line of the episode? “Cheers.”
Eddie LeBec
Jay Thomas played Carla’s tough-guy hockey player husband, Eddie LeBec. In 1989, he was asked how he likes being on cheers, and got himself in significant trouble with producers when he responded, “it’s brutal, I have to kiss Rhea Perlman.” Ouch! After that comment, it was reportedly decided to off LeBec.
The show's producers decided to kill Carla’s husband, which was a first in TV sitcoms of those times. The hockey player was killed in a crazy Zamboni accident. At the funeral, it was revealed that he had another wife, one who looked a lot like Carla.
Jay Thomas
Between 1987 and 1989, Thomas only appeared on the show for nine episodes. Afterward, he went on to play smaller roles in several shows and made-for-TV films. The actor passed away in 2017 after losing a battle with throat cancer.
He left behind his wife and three children, one of whom was songwriter J. T. Harding. With a tumultuous father-son relationship, Thomas and Harding appeared on an episode of "Dr. Phil" to talk about it and hash things out.
