Ted Danson is getting honest about his rise to fame.
The "Cheers" star revealed the emotional challenges he endured before his iconic character, Sam Malone, became a fan favorite. The long-running series aired from 1982 to 1993.
During Danson and "Cheers" co-star Woody Harrelson’s podcast, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," the 76-year-old actor confessed he "didn’t know how to play Sam Malone" when he was first tapped into the role. He noted that it took him a year and a half to truly embrace his character.
