Cheers fans bid farewell to one of the iconic sitcom's stars, George Wendt, on Tuesday. Now, DailyMail.com toasts him while taking a look at what his surviving costars have been up to in recent years.

His character Sam was a former baseball player for the Boston Red Sox whose battle with alcoholism led him to quit his sports career and open a bar, where he was adored by his patrons and was skilled at seducing beautiful women. After Frasier ended in 2004, Grammer began appearing in more films, and scored roles in blockbusters including X Men: The Last Stand and Transformers: Age of Extinction and was known for his voice work, notably as the evil Sideshow Bob in The Simpsons. Cheers was the actor's first ever role, yet he is arguably the most successful of the cast, appearing in numerous hit films and television shows, including the Coen Brothers' No Country For Old Men, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
