These days, your favorite funnyman is controlling the entire universe as Michael on “The Good Place.” He’s a bit more devilish than his character on the show – okay, a lot crueler, but still manages to make us laugh. He’s won several awards throughout his acting career and has been nominated for dozens.
According to recent reports, Danson accepted the lead role in the new comedy series, “Mr. Mayor,” which is set to hit living rooms between 2020-2021.
Rhea Perlman
According to those who know her, Rhea Perlman is a lovely person. Her performance as the blunt and snarky waitress may have ticked off patrons on the show, but it earned her an annual Emmy nomination throughout the entirety of her career on "Cheers."
After her time in the bar, she moved on to make TV movies throughout the 90s. She has authored a series of children’s books called "Otto Undercover." Her most recent role on television was her recurring part on "The Mindy Project."
Sam Malone
The handsome bar owner, Sam, played by Ted Danson, keeps a level-head around his establishment even when things get a little bit out of control. During the first episode, someone asks him why he owns the bar (Cheers) if he doesn’t drink. His response? He bought it while he was drinking and now, he’s attached to the people.
Malone is one of only three of the show’s characters to appear in every single episode throughout its existence. His acting won him two Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, along with two Golden Globes.
Cliff Clavin
Every show has to have its know-it-all, right? Well, that’s what producers of the show thought when they added John Ratzenberger’s character, Cliff Clavin, to the script. Clavin plays the local postal worker who’s been a contestant on "Jeopardy" and sounds like a walking dictionary when he opens his mouth.
Interestingly enough, the show’s pilot script from ’82 didn’t include the character. Luckily, he stayed. In 1993, Ratzenberger sued Host International for creating a doll that looked just like his character without his permission or knowledge.
John Ratzenberger
His role as Cliff on the show earned Ratzenberger two nominations for Primetime Emmys. One of the most exciting things about the actor is that Ratzenberger is the only person to voice a character in every Pixar Animation Studios movie!
Aside from his work on-screen, Ratzenberger has made some other pretty impressive accomplishments. Just take the fact he developed an environmentally friendly alternative to packing peanuts! He’s also got some production credits to his name, including three consecutive years on "The World’s Most Incredible Animal Rescues."
