I'm still skating around some good ones. I'm surprised no one has figured them out yet.

Woody Boyd played by Woody Harrelson (Cheers)
Andy Barker played by Andy Richter (Andy Barker, P.I.)
Jeff Greene played by Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm)

I don't know if last names count as well. I mean Andy Richter played "Andy Richter" on "Andy Richter Controls the Universe." I didn't include it because I don't know if this is first name only or not. So instead, I went for the other Andy short-lived sitcom.
