Woody Harrelson was not involved in Emmys tribute to Cheers because he is appearing in play Ulster American on London's West End: 'There were just logistical challenges'


Harrelson played the role of Woody Boyd on 200 episodes of the NBC comedy from 1985-1993.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 62, 'couldn't make Cheers because he's in a play ... so there were a few people where there were just logistical challenges,' Emmys executive producer Jesse Collins told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday. Monday's tribute to the series saw the show's Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman and Ted Danson reunite on a set on the stage of the Peacock Theater in LA Cheers was a breakout role for Harrelson, who parlayed his fame from the show into major films such as 1992's White Men Can't Jump, 1993's Indecent Proposal and 1994's Natural Born Killers.
