I watched the PBS broadcast this past Friday and wondered if the General of the King's Knights was the actor who plays Cliff on "Cheers". He looked just like him, with the addition of a beard. He also sounded like a non-Bostonian version of Cliff. He didn't sound like he had an English accent, unlike just about everyone else in the production. I had heard that he had done Shakespear before his current role. Anyone know if this was him?

I, for one, haven't the faintest idea, but its a truly frightening thought. What will be next? Diane as Juliet? Carla doing Lady MacBeth? :-) (Name withheld at conscience's request)

I can't speak for that, but when Superman II was on last Sunday, I spotted Cliff, with a beard, playing a very blase Mission Control attendant for NASA, just before the Kryptonians showed up on the moon. -- NAME: Evan L.

(Why Joan Collins was not nominated for an Oscar should be taken up with the Academy).

The guy who plays Cliff pops up in lots of weird places. See Eastwood's movie _FIREFOX_ -- and watch who pops out of the submarine to "fill 'er up" when the Firfox lands on the iceflow...
