Quotes from the cast - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Shelley Long:

(btw this is semi freaky lol)

"When I tried out for the part of Diane," Long remembers, "I said, 'You know when I read this script I visualized a little bar I know on the Boston Common.' They all looked at me, and the room got quiet. Then they told me that was the bar they'd based the set on. It gave me shivers. I wasn't sure I wanted to be in a series. It's a major commitment. But that moment was like a tap on the shoulder. This bar, this city, this role."

Ted Danson:
"Sam Malone's hair is his crowning glory, and he's very sensitive about it. Maybe because some of it's not real", Danson admits with a grin. "I'm forty-five, and as you can see I'm grey and I have a bald spot. I had one when the show started, but for about six years I didn't use a hairpiece. I just combed my hair to hide what I didn't have. Then I started using a hairpiece and hair colouring too. Every night we shoot I get slathered with two cans of dark brown hair dye".

George Wendt:
"I'm like Norm in one respect," says George Wendt. "Beer is my life. I like all beer. But the beer I like best is the beer that they pay me to like." (Wendt has done TV commercials for Meister Brau Light.) "Beer helps me put on weight. Every year I have to gain seventy-five pounds to play Norm. I put it on before we start shooting the shows and I take it off after we've finished."

Woody Harrelson:

"I was twenty three when I got the job on Cheers," Harrelson remembers. "First thing I did was buy a Porsche, before I even came to rehearsal. That same afternoon I got mugged. I'm sitting there in the Porsche blasting my stereo, waiting to pick up a couple of girls, and this guy puts a gun to my head. He's counting down-five, four, three, two-and screaming that he's going to kill me. Then the girls came out and he ran off. Scariest experience of my life. Somebody up there was telling me to sloooooow down."

In some of his movies he looks a lot slimmer than he did on the show.
