Before Woody Harrelson's character Woody Boyd took over as the bartender at Cheers, another beloved character assisted behind the bar. That character was Coach, played by Nicholas Colasanto. Coach was a lovable, but slightly dim-witted former baseball coach who endeared himself to both the patrons of Cheers and the audience at home. Coach's character was a fan favorite, known for his endearing personality and hilarious one-liners. Despite his lack of intelligence, Coach was a kind and caring individual who always had a smile on his face. His interactions with the other characters, particularly Sam Malone played by Ted Danson, provided some of the most memorable moments of the show. Sadly, Nicholas Colasanto passed away during the filming of Cheers, leading to the introduction of Woody Boyd as the new bartender. Woody brought a different energy to the show, but fans of Cheers will always have a special place in their hearts for Coach.
