Although he is best known for his role as Woody Boyd in the popular 1980s sitcom Cheers ( i love this sitcom ), he has also earned acclaim for his roles in films such as as Natural Born Killers, The People vs. Larry Flynt and, recently, A Prairie Home Companion.
He also played one to one exhibition game with "former" World Champion Gary Kasprov back in 1999 at Prague. The game ended with a draw but for your info....Garry graciously allow Woody to "consider several choices at various juncture". Here are the game.
