content: The character of Cheers’ bartender Woody Boyd was portrayed by actor Woody Harrelson. Boyd was introduced in the show’s fourth season after the passing of actor Nicolos Colasanto, who had played the role of the previous bartender, "Coach." A native of Indiana, Boyd was presented as a naïve yet sincere counterpoint to the program’s more sophisticated and jaded characters.
