I still think that the characters from Twelfth Night were hiding under the characters from Cheers. Sam=Orsino, Diane=Viola, Rebecca=Olivia, Woody=Sebastian, Norm=Toby Belch, Cliff=Andrew Aguecheek, Carla=Maria, Malvolio=Frasier.
John Cleese and Terry Gilliam met while appearing in a West End production of the musical Half a Sixpence, starring Tommy Steele. It was in the same production that Cleese met his future wife Connie Booth. The book for Half a Sixpence was written by Beverley Cross, later married to Maggie Smith.
I think it heartbreaking that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Rylance never worked together. Matthew Warchus directed them both and certainly thought of them as artists with a deep kinship.
