John Ratzenberger

My kids remember him as voicing characters in every PIXAR animated film but, to me, Actor John Ratzenberger will always be:

“CLIFF CLAVIN” on CHEERS.

John Ratzenberger (Born 1947 in Bridgeport, CT) started out acting in films. His credits include “A Bridge Too Far”, “Yanks”, “Superman”, “Hanover Street”, “The Empire Strikes Back”, “Superman 2″, “Outland”, “Reds”, “Firefox”, “Ghandi”, “Protocol”, and many others. He struck fame portraying the world’s most annoying Postal Carrier Cliff Clavin on the long running classic sitcom “CHEERS” from 1982-1993. In addition to “CHEERS”, he has also appeared on shows such as “Wings”, “Frasier”, “Magnum PI”, “The Love Boat”, “Murphy Brown”, and many others and was a recent contestant on “Dancing with the Stars”. He has done voice work on numerous animated classics including “Toy Story”, “Toy Story 2″, “A Bug’s Life”, “Monsters Inc”, “Finding Nemo”, “The Incredibles”, “Cars”, “Ratatouille”, “Wall-E”, and the upcoming “Toy Story 3″. He is the only voice actor to appear in every PIXAR movie to date. He was nominated for two Emmy Awards for his work on “Cheers”. To date, this autograph took the longest to arrive in the mail. I wrote to John back in early November of last year, 5 full months ago. I have heard stories of some autograph requests taking a year or more, but to date, this 5 month wait has been the longest.

Autograph #161 in Collection.
