7. Two Woodys And A Bar

Cheers’ writers had no idea they were being prophetic when they wrote the script. They had no idea that the character “Woody Boyd” would end up being played by an actor who had the same name. Woody Harrelson didn’t get the role because of his name though, he was a perfect fit for the loveable—if not a tad daft—assistant bartender, and fans ate him up. It seems Woody playing Woody was destiny.
