View Full Version : Would it have lasted if... Brian Damage 09-13-2003, 12:46 PM Fred Dryer was Sam and Jerry Van Dyke was the Coach like it almost was? I don't know if they wanted to cast other people for other roles. Sam? http://www.ifmagazine.com/images/4/4-600-229-4.jpg Coach? http://www.castproductions.com/photos/jerryvandyke.jpg CheersChild4life 09-13-2003, 12:50 PM Um............I don't know I don't think they had the right look. barwars 09-13-2003, 12:51 PM Jerry Van Dyke would have been good. But then Woody would probably never come along. So, I think its best the way it is. Fred Dryer - blah MaydayMalonesGirl 09-13-2003, 12:51 PM I couldn't imagine any one other than Ted Danson playing the role of Sam. He was perfect for the role. If Fred Dryer would have gotten the role I don't know if it would have worked out. No one will ever know. Same with the coach. Brian Damage 09-13-2003, 12:55 PM Could you imagine Ted Danson in a guest starring role on Cheers as Sam's ex team mate? LOL DianeChambers87 09-13-2003, 01:57 PM Yea and Julia Duffy was Diane :confused: Brian Damage 09-13-2003, 02:21 PM Diane? http://mrvideo.vidiot.com/UPN/images/SS/SSPub201s.jpg MaydayMalonesGirl 09-13-2003, 02:23 PM Diane? :lol: no way! Brian Damage 09-13-2003, 02:25 PM Originally posted by MaydayMalonesGirl :lol: no way! Yeah, I don't think so either. I wonder if there was anybody other than Wendt considered for the Norm role? hmmmmmmmmm??? CheersChild4life 09-13-2003, 02:33 PM No one but Rhea tried out 4 Carla :lol: barwars 09-13-2003, 02:52 PM John Ratzenberger tryed out for Norm. Brian Damage 09-13-2003, 02:55 PM Originally posted by barwars88 John Ratzenberger tryed out for Norm. I never knew that. CarJackSnyder 09-13-2003, 02:57 PM :lol: no way! :lol: DianeChambers87 09-13-2003, 03:27 PM Originally posted by CheersChild4life No one but Rhea tried out 4 Carla :lol: Yes, they actually wrote that role for her. NORM 09-13-2003, 06:47 PM Well Jimmy Glen and Les ahd already seen wendt acting when he was on taxi. When it came time to cast George was the first person they had thought of. They were already keen on giving him the part but still held auditions anyway. John tried for it and was turned down. But on the spot right there he created the character Clifford Clavin, and was hired for a few episodes but eventually became a regular. Wendt at the time of filming Cheers was also in the middle of another sitcom "Making the Grade". But it fell apart so Wendt became Norm full time on cheers. MasterL 09-13-2003, 08:58 PM I think it wouldn't have lasted cause Ted Danson has that certain thing about him that made him stand out from the others. Ted has a quality that made Sam Malone seem just like the right guy I really don't know how to explain it. But its just like Christina Appelgate sp from MWC had.
