Harrelson plays Woody again

Despite reaching super-star status since his move to Hollywood - in films such as Natural Born Killers, Kingpin and The People vs. Larry Flynt - Woody Harrelson has agreed to hop back into his much-loved Cheers role of Woody the bartender for a guest appearance on Frasier next month. Harrelson, who still keeps contact with all the Cheers cast, reckons that the mentally challenged barman is still his favourite character to date. He said: "Playing Woody Boyd was a great experience. It was like working in a playground every day with people you love and getting paid a lot of money and becoming famous too. It was an amazing experience - almost too good to be true."
