==Characters== {{main|List of Cheers characters}} Before the ''Cheers'' pilot "[[Give Me a Ring Sometime]]" was completed and aired in 1982, the series consisted of four employees in the first script.<ref name=scott1982/> Later revisions added [[Norm Peterson]] and [[Cliff Clavin]] (regular customers of Cheers) as among the regular characters of the series, even though neither were featured.<ref name=112wendt114>Wendt 2001, pp. 112–114.</ref> In later years, [[Woody Boyd]] replaced Coach, after the character died off-screen in season three (1984–85), following actor [[Nicholas Colasanto]]'s death. [[Frasier Crane]] started as a recurring character and became a permanent one. In season six (1987–88), new character [[Rebecca Howe]] was added, having been written into the show after the finale of the previous season (1986–87). [[Lilith Sternin]] started as a one-time character in an episode of season four, "Second Time Around" (1985). After her second season five appearance, she became a recurring character and was later featured as a permanent one during season 10 (1991–92). ===Original main characters=== [[File:Cheers original cast 1982-86 (1983).jpg|thumb|Cast of seasons one through three, ''left to right'': ''(top)'' [[Shelley Long]], [[Ted Danson]]; ''(middle)'' [[Rhea Perlman]], [[Nicholas Colasanto]]; ''(bottom)'' [[George Wendt]], [[John Ratzenberger]]{{efn|Ratzenberger joined the main cast in season two after frequently appearing in his recurring role in season one.}} |alt=Background is the bar setting.

Bottom row has a suit-dressed man and a mailman.]] * [[Ted Danson]] as [[Sam Malone]]: A [[bartender]] and proprietor of Cheers, Sam is also a [[lothario]]. Before the series began, he was a baseball [[relief pitcher]] for the [[Boston Red Sox]] nicknamed "Mayday Malone" until he became an alcoholic, harming his career. He has an [[on-again, off-again relationship]] with [[Sam and Diane|Diane Chambers]], his class opposite, in the first five seasons (1982–1987). During their off-times, Sam has flings with many not-so-bright "sexy women"<ref name=honey264/> yet fails to pursue a meaningful relationship.<ref name=honey264/> After Diane is written out of the series, he tries to pursue Rebecca Howe, with varying results. At the end of the series, he is still unmarried and faces his [[sexual addiction]] with the help of Dr. Robert Sutton's ([[Gilbert Lewis (actor)|Gilbert Lewis]]) group meetings, advised by Frasier. * [[Shelley Long]] as [[Diane Chambers]]: An academic, sophisticated graduate student attending Boston University.<ref name=scott1982/> In the pilot, Diane is abandoned by her fiancé, leaving her without a job, a man or money. Realizing that one of her few practical skills is memorization, which comes in handy when dealing with drink orders, she reluctantly becomes a barmaid. Later, she becomes a close friend of Coach<ref name=10anniversary/> and [[Sam and Diane|has an on-and-off relationship with bartender Sam Malone]], her class opposite. During their off-relationship times, Diane dates men who fit her upper-class ideals, such as Frasier Crane. Diane returns to Cheers while dating Frasier to help cure Sam of his drinking addiction with help from Dr. Crane. Diane's biggest enemy is Carla, who frequently insults her, but Diane's lack of retaliation serves to annoy Carla even more. In 1987, Diane leaves Boston and Sam to pursue a [[screenwriting]] career in California. She promises Sam she will return to Boston to marry him but does not do so. * [[Nicholas Colasanto]] as [[Coach Ernie Pantusso|"Coach" Ernie Pantusso]]: <br/>A "borderline senile"<ref name=honey264/> co-bartender, widower and retired baseball coach. Coach is also a friend of Sam and a close friend of Diane. He has a daughter, [[Lisa Pantusso|Lisa]] ([[Allyce Beasley]]). Coach listens to people's problems and solves them. However, other people also help resolve his own problems. In 1985, Coach died without explicit explanation, as Colasanto died of a heart attack.<ref name=colasantodeath/> * [[Rhea Perlman]] as [[Carla Tortelli]]: A "wisecracking, cynical"<ref name=scott1982/> cocktail waitress, who treats customers badly. When the series premieres, she is the mother of five children by her ex-husband [[Nick Tortelli]] ([[Dan Hedaya]]). Over the course of the series, she bears three more, the depiction of which incorporated Perlman's real-life pregnancies.<ref name=top10preggerstime>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20090214175706/http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1878293_1878320_1878375,00.html Top 10 Pregnant Performers: Where Everybody Knows You're Pregnant (or Not)]." ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''. Web. June 2, 2012.</ref> All of her children are ill behaved, except Ludlow, whose father is a prominent academic. She flirts with men, including ones who are not flattered by her ways, and believes in [[superstition]]s. Later, she marries [[Eddie LeBec]], an [[ice hockey]] player, who later becomes a penguin mascot for ice shows. After he dies in an ice show accident by an [[ice resurfacer]], Carla later discovers that Eddie had committed [[bigamy]] with another woman, whom he had gotten pregnant. Carla sleeps with Sam's enemy, John Allen Hill, to Sam's annoyance and anger. * [[George Wendt]] as [[Norm Peterson]]: A bar regular and occasionally employed accountant. A recurrent joke on the show, especially in the earlier seasons, is that the character was such a popular and constant fixture at the bar that anytime he entered through the front door, everyone present would yell out his name ("NORM!") in greeting (when present in the scene Diane would be heard saying "Norman!" moments later); usually, this cry would be followed by one of the present bartenders asking Norm how he was, usually receiving a sardonic response and a request for a beer. ("It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear.") He has infrequent accounting jobs and a troubled marriage with (but is still in love with and married to) Vera, an [[unseen character]], though she is occasionally heard. Later in the series, he becomes a [[house painter]] and an [[interior decorator]]. Even later in the series, Norm secures his dream job, tasting beer at a brewery. The character was not originally intended to be a main cast role;<ref name=112wendt114/> Wendt auditioned for a minor role of George for the [[Give Me a Ring Sometime|pilot episode]]. The role was only to be Diane Chambers' first customer and had only one word: "Beer!"<ref>Wendt 2009, p. 112.</ref> After he was cast in a more permanent role, the character was renamed Norm.<ref>Wendt 2009, p. 113.</ref> ===Subsequent main characters=== [[File:Cheers cast 1991.jpg|Cast of ''Cheers'' since season six.{{efn|Only Kirstie Alley was introduced in season six, while the rest of the cast appeared in prior seasons.}} (left to right): (top) [[Rhea Perlman|Perlman]], [[Woody Harrelson]], [[Kelsey Grammer]], [[Bebe Neuwirth]]; (bottom) [[George Wendt|Wendt]], [[Kirstie Alley]], [[Ted Danson|Danson]], [[John Ratzenberger|Ratzenberger]] |thumb|upright=1.36|alt=Background is bar setting.

Bottom row has a suit-dressed man, a blonde, a middle-aged handsome bartender, and a mailman.]] * [[John Ratzenberger]] as [[Cliff Clavin]]: <br />A know-it-all bar regular and [[postal worker|mail carrier]]. He lives with his mother [[Esther Clavin]] ([[Frances Sternhagen]]) in first the family house and later his own apartment. In the bar, Cliff continuously spouts nonsensical and annoying trivia, making him an object of derision for the bar patrons (especially Carla). Ratzenberger auditioned for the role of a minor character George, but it went to Wendt, evolving the role into Norm Peterson.<ref name="wendt113-114">Wendt 2009, pp. 113–114.</ref> The producers decided they wanted a resident bar know-it-all,<ref name="wendt113-114" /> so the US Postal Worker Cliff Clavin was added for the pilot, as a recurring character for the first season before becoming a main character starting with the second. Originally written as a security guard, the producers changed his occupation into a mail carrier as they thought such a man would have a wider array of knowledge.<ref>{{cite news |author=Buck, Jerry |date=June 28, 1985 |title=''Cheers'' mailman describes 10 years in Britain |at=TV Times |newspaper=[[The Leader-Post]] |location=Canada |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BH9WAAAAIBAJ&dq=cheers%20cliff%20norm%20john%20wendt%20auditioned&pg=3002%2C3299013 |access-date=May 5, 2012 |archive-date=December 23, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223004645/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BH9WAAAAIBAJ&dq=cheers%20cliff%20norm%20john%20wendt%20auditioned&pg=3002,3299013 |url-status=live }}</ref> * [[Kelsey Grammer]] as [[Frasier Crane]]: <br />A psychiatrist and bar regular, a recurring character for seasons 3 and 4 who joins the main cast by season 5. Frasier started out as Diane Chambers' love interest in the third season (1984–85). In the fourth season (1985–86), after Diane jilts him at the altar in Europe, Frasier starts to frequent Cheers and becomes a regular. He later marries [[Lilith Sternin]] and has a son, Frederick. After the series ends, the character becomes the focus of the spin-off ''[[Frasier]]'', in which he is divorced from Lilith and living in [[Seattle]]. * [[Woody Harrelson]] as [[Woody Boyd]]: <br />A not-so-bright<ref name="honey264" /> bartender, first appearing in season 4. He arrives from his Midwest hometown of [[Hanover, Indiana]] to Boston, to see Coach, his "[[pen pal]]" (as referring to exchanging "pens", not letters). When Sam tells Woody that Coach died, Sam hires Woody in Coach's place. Later, he marries his girlfriend Kelly Gaines ([[Jackie Swanson]]), also not-so-bright but raised in a rich family. In the final season, he runs for city council and, surprisingly, wins. * [[Bebe Neuwirth]] as [[Lilith Sternin]]: <br />A psychiatrist and bar regular, a recurring character until joining the main cast in season 10. She is often teased by bar patrons about her uptight personality and appearance. In "Second Time Around" (1986), her first and only episode of the fourth season, her date with Frasier does not go well because they constantly argue. In the fifth season, with help from Diane, Lilith and Frasier begin a relationship. Eventually, they marry and have a son, Frederick. In the eleventh and final season, she commits adultery and leaves Frasier to live with another man in an experimental underground environment called the "Eco-pod". She breaks it off, returns later in the season and reconciles with Frasier. However, in the spin-off ''Frasier'', the couple has divorced, with Lilith maintaining custody of Frederick. In season 11 of ''Cheers'', Bebe Neuwirth is given "starring" credit only when she appears. * [[Kirstie Alley]] as [[Rebecca Howe]]: <br />First appearing in season 6, she starts out as a strong independent woman, manager of the bar for the corporation that buys Cheers from Sam after his on-off relationship with Diane ends. When Sam regains ownership, she begs him to let her remain, first as a cocktail waitress and later as a manager. She has repeated romantic failures with mainly rich men and becomes more and more "neurotic, insecure, and sexually frustrated".<ref name="neurotic">{{cite web|date=July 8, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130121110517/http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-favorite-kirstie-alley-scene.html|author=Levine, Ken|url=http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-favorite-kirstie-alley-scene.html|author-link=Ken Levine (TV personality)|archive-date=January 21, 2013|url-status=live|access-date=July 21, 2012|work=... by Ken Levine on [[Blogspot]]|title=My favorite Kirstie Alley scene}}</ref> At the start, Sam frequently attempts to seduce Rebecca without success.<ref name="craig">{{cite journal|volume=2 |author=Craig, Steve |page=15 |access-date=July 31, 2012 |year=1993 |title=Selling Masculinities, Selling Femininities: Multiple Genders and the Economics of Television |url=http://www.rtvf.unt.edu/html/craig/pdfs/gender.PDF |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070625104942/http://www.rtvf.unt.edu/html/craig/pdfs/gender.PDF |archive-date=June 25, 2007 |journal=The Mid-Atlantic Almanack |url-status=dead }}</ref> As her personality changes,<ref name="neurotic" /> he loses interest in her. In the series finale, after failed relationships with rich men, Rebecca marries a plumber and quits working for the bar. In the ''Frasier'' episode "[[The Show Where Sam Shows Up]]", she is revealed to be divorced and back at the bar. When Frasier asks whether this means that she is working there again, Sam says, "No, she's just back at the bar." ===Character table=== {| class="wikitable" |- !! rowspan="2" | Character !! rowspan="2" | Actress / Actor !! colspan="11" | Seasons |- !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 1|1]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 2|2]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 3|3]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 4|4]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 5|5]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 6|6]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 7|7]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 8|8]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 9|9]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 10|10]] !! style="width:5%;" | [[Cheers season 11|11]] |- | [[Sam Malone]] | [[Ted Danson]] | colspan="11" {{cMain}} |- | [[Carla Tortelli]] | [[Rhea Perlman]] | colspan="11" {{cMain}} |- | [[Norm Peterson]] | [[George Wendt]] | colspan="11" {{cMain}} |- | [[Cliff Clavin]] | [[John Ratzenberger]] | {{cRecurring}} | colspan="10" {{cMain}} |- | [[Coach Ernie Pantusso|Ernie "Coach" Pantusso]] | [[Nicholas Colasanto]] | colspan="3" {{cMain}} | colspan="8" {{n/a|}} |- | [[Woody Boyd]] | [[Woody Harrelson]] | colspan="3" {{n/a|}} | colspan="8" {{cMain}} |- | [[Diane Chambers]] | [[Shelley Long]] | colspan="5" {{cMain}} | colspan="5" {{n/a|}} | {{cGuest}} |- | [[Rebecca Howe]] | [[Kirstie Alley]] | colspan="5" {{n/a|}} | colspan="6" {{cMain}} |- | [[Frasier Crane]] | [[Kelsey Grammer]] | colspan="2" {{n/a|}} | colspan="2" {{cRecurring}} | colspan="7" {{cMain}} |- | [[Lilith Sternin]] | [[Bebe Neuwirth]] | colspan="3" {{n/a|}} | colspan="1" {{cGuest}} | colspan="5" {{cRecurring}} | colspan="2" {{cMain}}{{efn|In season 11, Neuwirth only made limited appearances, but was credited as a main cast member for the episodes in which she appeared.}} |} ===Recurring characters=== {{main list|List of Cheers characters}} Although ''Cheers'' operated largely around that main ensemble cast and their interactions with various one-off characters, guest stars and recurring characters did occasionally supplement them. Notable repeat guests included [[Dan Hedaya]] as [[Nick Tortelli]] and [[Jean Kasem]] as [[Loretta Tortelli]] (who were the main characters in the first spin-off, ''[[The Tortellis]]''), [[Fred Dryer]] as Dave Richards, [[Annie Golden]] as Margaret O'Keefe, [[Derek McGrath]] as Andy Schroeder (also referred to as ''Andy Andy''), interchangeably [[Joel Polis]] and [[Robert Desiderio]] as rival bar owner Gary, [[Jay Thomas]] as [[Eddie LeBec]], [[Roger Rees]] as [[Robin Colcord]], [[Tom Skerritt]] as [[Evan Drake]], [[Frances Sternhagen]] as Esther Clavin, [[Richard Doyle (actor)|Richard Doyle]] as Walter Gaines, [[Keene Curtis]] as John Allen Hill, [[Anthony Cistaro]] as Henri, Michael McGuire as Professor Sumner Sloan, and [[Harry Anderson]] as Harry "The Hat" Gittes. [[Jackie Swanson]], who played the recurring role of Woody's girlfriend and eventual wife "Kelly Gaines-Boyd", appeared in 24 episodes from 1989 to 1993. The character is as equally dim and naive—but ultimately as sweet-natured—as Woody. [[Paul Willson]] played the recurring barfly character Paul Krapence. (In one early appearance in the first season he was called "Glen", and was later credited on-screen as "Gregg" and "Tom", but he was playing the same character throughout.) [[Thomas Babson]] played "Tom", a law student often mocked by [[Cliff Clavin]], for continually failing to pass the Massachusetts bar exam. "Al", played by [[Al Rosen (actor)|Al Rosen]], appeared in 38 episodes, and was known for his surly quips. Rhea Perlman's father [[Philip Perlman (actor)|Philip Perlman]] played the role of "Phil".<ref>{{cite magazine|date=September 16, 1991|title=Cheers, Dad!|url=https://people.com/archive/cheers-dad-vol-36-no-10|magazine=People|access-date=August 16, 2011|archive-date=March 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313112943/https://people.com/archive/cheers-dad-vol-36-no-10/|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Celebrity appearances=== Other celebrities guest-starred in single episodes as themselves throughout the series. Sports figures appeared on the show as themselves, with a connection to Boston or Sam's former team, the Red Sox, such as [[Luis Tiant]], [[Wade Boggs]], and [[Kevin McHale (basketball)|Kevin McHale]] and [[Larry Bird]] (of the [[Boston Celtics]]).<ref name="nba">{{cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/history/players/mchale_bio.html |title=Kevin McHale Bio |access-date=December 20, 2009 |publisher=NBA |archive-date=May 16, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516015734/http://www.nba.com/history/players/mchale_bio.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Some television stars also made guest appearances as themselves such as [[Alex Trebek]], [[Arsenio Hall]], [[Dick Cavett]], [[Robert Urich]], [[George McFarland]] and [[Johnny Carson]]. Various political figures even made appearances on ''Cheers'' such as then-[[Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff]] [[Admiral (United States)|Admiral]] [[William J. Crowe]], former [[Colorado]] [[United States Senate|Senator]] [[Gary Hart]], then-[[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|Speaker of the House]] [[Tip O'Neill]], then-Senator [[John Kerry]], then-[[Governor of Massachusetts|Governor]] [[Michael Dukakis]], [[Ethel Kennedy]] (widow of [[Robert F. Kennedy]]), and then-[[Mayor of Boston]] [[Raymond Flynn]], the last five of whom all represented Cheers' home state and city. In maternal roles, [[Glynis Johns]], in a guest appearance in 1983, played Diane's mother, Helen Chambers. [[Nancy Marchand]] played Frasier's mother, Hester Crane, in an episode that aired in 1985. In an episode that aired in 1992, [[Celeste Holm]] – who had previously played Ted Danson's mother in "[[Three Men and a Baby]]" – appeared as Kelly's jokester of a paternal grandmother. [[Melendy Britt]] appeared in the episode "''Woody or Won't He''" (1990) as Kelly's mother, Roxanne Gaines, a very attractive high-society lady and a sexy, flirtatious upper-class cougar who tries to seduce Woody. The musician [[Harry Connick Jr.]] appeared in an episode as Woody's cousin and plays a song from his Grammy-winning album ''[[We Are in Love]]'' ({{Circa|1991}}). [[John Cleese]] won a [[Primetime Emmy Award]] for his guest appearance as "Dr. Simon Finch-Royce" in the fifth-season episode "Simon Says". [[Emma Thompson]] guest-starred as [[Minor characters on Frasier|Nanny G/Nannette Guzman]], a famous singing nanny and Frasier's ex-wife. [[Christopher Lloyd]] guest-starred as a tortured artist who wanted to paint Diane. [[Marcia Cross]] portrayed Rebecca's sister Susan in the season 7 episode ''Sisterly Love''. [[John Mahoney]] once appeared as an inept jingle writer, which included a brief conversation with Frasier Crane, whose father he later portrayed on the spin-off ''Frasier''. [[Peri Gilpin]], who later played [[Roz Doyle]] on ''Frasier,'' also appeared in one episode of ''Cheers'', in its 11th season, as Holly Matheson, a reporter who interviews Woody. [[The Righteous Brothers]], [[Bobby Hatfield]] and [[Bill Medley]], also guest-starred in different episodes. In "The Guy Can't Help It", Rebecca meets a plumber, played by [[Tom Berenger]], who came to fix one of the beer keg taps. They marry in the series finale, triggering her resignation from Cheers. [[Judith Barsi]] appears in the episode ''Relief Bartender''. Notable guest appearances of actresses portraying Sam's sexual conquests or potential sexual conquests include [[Kate Mulgrew]] in the three-episode finale of season four, portraying Boston councilwoman Janet Eldridge; [[Donna McKechnie]] as Debra, Sam's ex-wife (with whom he is on good terms), who pretends to be an intellectual in front of Diane; [[Barbara Babcock]] as Lana Marshall, a talent agent who specializes in representing male athletes, whom she routinely sleeps with on-demand; [[Julia Duffy]] as Rebecca Prout, a depressed intellectual friend of Diane's; [[Alison La Placa]] as magazine reporter Paula Nelson; [[Carol Kane]] as Amanda, who Sam eventually learns was a fellow patient at the sanitarium with Diane; [[Barbara Feldon]] as Lauren Hudson, Sam's annual Valentine's Day fling (in an homage to ''[[Same Time, Next Year (play)|Same Time, Next Year]]''); [[Sandahl Bergman]] as Judy Marlowe, a longtime casual sex partner; Laurie Marlowe ([[Chelsea Noble]]), Judy's now-grown-up daughter, who always considered Sam a pseudo-father figure, & whom Sam falls for; [[Madolyn Smith|Madolyn Smith-Osborne]] as Dr. Sheila Rydell, a colleague of Frasier and Lilith; [[Valerie Mahaffey]] as Valerie Hill, John Allen Hill's daughter whom Sam pursues if only to gain an upper hand in his business relationship with Hill; and [[Alexis Smith]] as Alice Anne Volkman, Rebecca's much older ex-professor. In season 9, episode 17, "I'm Getting My Act Together and Sticking It in Your Face", Sam, believing Rebecca wants a more serious relationship, pretends to be gay, his lover being a casual friend named Leon ([[Jeff McCarthy]])—the plan ultimately leads to a kiss between Sam and Leon. ===Death of Nicholas Colasanto=== Near the end of production of the third season, the writers of ''Cheers'' had to deal with the death of one of the main actors. [[Nicholas Colasanto]]'s heart condition had been diagnosed in the mid-1970s, but it had worsened. He had lost weight and was having trouble breathing during filming, and he was hospitalized shortly before filming finished for season three due to fluid in his lungs. He recovered but was not cleared to return to work. He was visiting the set in January 1985 to watch the filming of several episodes, and co-star [[Shelley Long]] commented, "I think we were all in denial. We were all glad he was there, but he lost a lot of weight." Co-star [[Rhea Perlman]] added that he "wanted to be there so badly. He didn't want to be sick. He couldn't breathe well. It was hard. He was laboring all the time." Colasanto ultimately died of a heart attack at his home on February 12, 1985.<ref name=showmust/> The third-season episodes of ''Cheers'' were filmed out of order, partly to accommodate Shelley Long's pregnancy. As a result, they had already completed filming the season finale at the time of his death, which had scenes with Colasanto in it. As the remaining episodes were filmed, Coach's absence was explained by having one of the characters mention that Coach was out of town for various reasons. The ''Cheers'' writing staff assembled in June 1985 to discuss how to deal with the absence of Coach. They quickly discarded the idea that he had moved away, as they felt that he would never abandon his friends. In addition, most viewers were aware of Colasanto's death, so the writing staff decided to handle the situation more openly. The season four opener, "Birth, Death, Love and Rice", dealt with Coach's death and introduced [[Woody Harrelson]], Colasanto's replacement.<ref name=showmust>{{cite book|title=The Show Must Go On: How the Deaths of Lead Actors Have Affected Television Series|author=Snauffer, Douglas|year=2008|isbn=978-0-7864-3295-0|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, North Carolina}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.movpod.in/gp3w6smdjos9 |title=Birth, Death, Love and Rice|publisher=Movpod.in |access-date=September 13, 2012}}{{dead link|date=November 2016}}</ref>
