Woody Harrelson does have a net worth of $70 million as of 2021. He is indeed an American actor, dramatist, and campaigner. He is most known for playing Woody Boyd on NBC’s “Cheers,” for which he won an Emmy, but he has also featured in dozens of films. He received Academy Award nods for his parts in “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” “The Messenger,” as well as “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”
Inside the fourth season of “Cheers,” Harrelson made his television debut as just a member of the cast. From 1985 through 1993, he featured in 200 episodes and was nominated for five Primetime Emmys, winning one in 1989. Woody Boyd, his character, had appearances on “The Simpsons” in 1994 and “Frasier” in 1999. In 2001, Harrelson appeared in seven episodes of “Will & Grace” as Grace’s boyfriend, and then in 2014, he featured in HBO’s “True Detective.”
Woody too has starred in “Dear John” and “Spin City,” as well as in the HBO movie “Game Change” in 2012, he portrayed Republican strategist Steve Schmidt. In 1989, 1992, 2014, as well as 2019, Harrelson hosted “Saturday Night Live,” and he made guest appearances as Joe Biden in episodes hosted by Will Ferrell and David Harbour in 2019.
In 1985, while visiting Tijuana, Woody married Nancy Simo. The pair had no intention of marrying and intended to annul the relationship the next day; unfortunately, the marriage/divorce parlour was closed, as well as they remained wedded for ten months. Harrelson married Laura Louie in Maui in 2008, as well as the couple has three daughters: Deni, Zoe, and Makani (born in June 2006). Laura was Woody’s personal assistant upon that set of “Cheers” in 1987 and again in 2001.
Woody is indeed a vegan and was crowned the Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA in 2012. He favours marijuana legalisation and therefore is committed to environmental concerns. Harrelson, a chess enthusiast, has twice visited the World Chess Championships, in which he had the distinction of making the ceremonial opening move in 2016.
Harrelson has indeed been arrested multiple times, including in 1982 for disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest, in 1996 for symbolically planting hemp seeds (which the sheriff termed “cultivating marijuana”), and also in 2002 for causing damage to a cab and fleeing police. He did not serve any time in prison as a result of either of these arrests. A TMZ cameraman filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against Woody in 2008, stating that he had been beaten as well as his camera being smashed; the case was dropped when the two parties struck an agreement in 2010.
