Cheers and movies: brian's cheesy connections

New Jersey reader and Cheers fan Brian has dug out some info on those Cheers actors we were discussing this morning here on MB!

Brian says:

John Ratzenberger, above, of Cheers fame had roles in these horror/sci fi flicks. He played a "guy in a toga" in Warlords of Atlantis!

And a punk rocker in a delightfully sickening tale called Motel Hell, concerning a pair of farmers who turn the guests at their country inn into sausages! 

George Wendt (NORM!) ....

 .... deserves a shout out for his role in HOUSE too!

Woodsy says as an aside: I've blogged about the excellent movie House and its vintage toy props and lead actor William Katt before. He first made a splash as Tommy Ross, the doomed arm-candy of Sissy Spacek's Carrie. 

He was also auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker, which amazingly is still available for viewing on You Tube!

cheers! I don't remember their names!

Just slurping Coffee and watching the hilarious Frasier.

Woody Harrelson has come in from out of town and has just turned up for a beer. With Frasier I mean!

They keep talking about Cheers, their old bar back in Boston. Its their old TV show as well.

Now I sort of recall Cheers on TV decades ago. Seems like another life. 

Ted Danson was the rising star I remember and he had an on-off thing going with a girl there.  Whatever happened to him?

A moustached barfly with a monotone voice sat at the counter too. He went on to do Coors beers TV ads I think. No idea what his name was. For some reason I'm thinking Toy Story.

I should remember Cheers. It was a big deal on TV in the 80's.

I doubt very much there was any merchandise. Does anyone know?

Do you remember Cheers?
