I've been a big fan of Woody Harrelson since he first made a name for himself on the hit sitcom Cheers. Since then, he's become one of the world's biggest and most successful actors, but whenever you see him during an interview, he just seems like your average nice guy. I recently watched Zombieland and was so into Woody's performance that I thought I'd do some research to find some fun facts about him.
Here's what I found.
When they were quite young, however, they moved to their mother's hometown of Lebanon, Ohio.
He did everything from running games to operating the rides.
They starred together in 1986's Wildcats.
That means that he doesn't eat meat, dairy, sugar or flour.
All those snacks were actually made with cornmeal. Another Zombieland fact: he was arrested for marijuana possession during filming.
Not only does he act, but he's directed and written his own plays.
In fact, Woody says he based his character in Natural Born Killers on his own dad!
The bar is located in West Hollywood.
This was a way for him to get away from it all.
Talk about paying your dues.
In his spare time, Woody plays with the bands Manly Moondog and Three Kool Hats.
He and his wife Laura Louie are proud parents to Deni, Zoe, and Makani.
He played bartender Woody Boyd, for which he earned five Emmy Award nominations.
Basketball hustler Billy Hoyle in White Men Can't Jump, one-handed bowler Roy Munson in Kingpin, Haymitch Abernathy in The Hunger Games film series, serial killer Mickey Knox in Natural Born Killers, magazine publisher Larry Flynt in The People vs. Larry Flynt, and country singer Dusty in A Prairie Home Companion.
It earned him and McConaughey nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
In response to Colbert's questioning of his support for the troops, Harrelson agreed to let Colbert shave his head on camera.
