Sad and surprising news, the Sheriff of Rottingham himself is dead.  I had no idea that he was 71, either... so he hung in there quite a bit.  But I always enjoyed seeing him pop up on screen.

AV Club: R.I.P. Roger Rees, recurring guest star on Cheers and The West Wing.

This is making me appreciate how old the rest of the cast of Cheers must be as well, I saw a commercial for some TBS sitcom with Norm and I was shocked.

I know... they all sort of freeze in time for us, don't they?
