Q: Did any of the characters from "Frasier" appear on "Cheers" first? Other than Frasier, of course.
That's an interesting question. There were, of course, loads of cameos by "Cheers" characters on "Frasier," but did any of "Frasier's" main characters first appear in smaller roles on "Cheers"?
The short answer is no, though I'm putting an asterisk beside Lilith (played by Bebe Neuwirth, "Jumanji," 1995). In fact, two of the main characters couldn't possibly have appeared on the original show because "Cheers" claimed they didn't exist.
