Where Are Our Favorite Cheers Actors Now?

Phil Perlman’s role on Cheers was primarily a family affair, and after the series ended, he returned to life away from Hollywood. His appearances remain a beloved footnote in the show’s history, highlighting how even the smallest roles contributed to the Cheers ensemble dynamic.

Perlman passed away in 2015 at the age of 95. His quiet contributions to Cheers endure in the fond memories of fans who noticed his consistent presence. For many, Phil became symbolic of the show’s theme: that the bar was a place where everyone belonged, no matter how small their role.
