Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson (born July 23, 1961) is an American Emmy Award winning and Academy Award nominated actor. 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.
