Back when
Cheers was still in production it shared a
studio with the set of
Star Trek:
The Next Generation on the
Paramount lot. Both shows being
long running and produced by the same studio, they ended up sharing crew, writers and producers, and eventually, cast members, a habit that got passed on to
Frasier. It turns out that a lot of
Cheers cast members are
Trekkers.
- Kirstie Alley (Rebecca Howe) played Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
- Kelsey Grammer (Frasier Crane) appears as Captain Morgan Bateson in the TNG episode Cause and Effect.
- Kelsey Grammer can also be heard as Captain Bateson in Star Trek: First Contact. It's uncredited, but listen for when the Federation goes into battle against The Borg. Starfleet audio is carrying the battle, and an admiral orders the Bozeman to attack, to which Grammer's voice (in recycled footage from "Cause and Effect") says "Acknowledged." (thanks Servo5678)
