Biografía

Said in a television interview that his daughter was on the set during the scene from Creepshow (1982) where his character returns from the dead encased in rotted flesh and seaweed. He purposely tried avoiding his young daughter out of a fear of scaring her. Finally, despite his best efforts, she went up to him, looked at him and simply said, "Oh, Hi Dad".

Danson played Sam Malone on three different series: Cheers (1982), Los Simpson (1989) and Frasier (1993). He was one of the three actors who appeared in all 271 episodes of Cheers (1982).

He played the role for the last time on the spin-off series Frasier (1993).

He was a teenage environmental activist in Arizona where he was involved in cutting down billboards that were considered blight.

As an ocean activist with Hardy Jones, (BlueVoice.Org) The Dolphin Defender (PBS Nature), he started Oceana.org and is on the Board of Directors.

If I had my way everyone would be in a 12-step program.

Smoking is a great prop. It's a great prop in life.

Acting is pretending that you're not pretending when you're actually pretending.

I am the king of the faux pas. I call everybody by their wrong name, and I congratulate women who are not pregnant. I've done so many awful things by mistake, and usually it's things that make me look totally foolish.

(On Nancy Travis) If she can pretend she finds me attractive after a tuna fish sandwich, then she's my kind of girl.
