  • Clifford C. Clavin, Jr. was a character on the American television show Cheers, portrayed by John Ratzenberger. Cliff was a postal worker and Norm Peterson's best friend. He lived with his mother, Esther Clavin (Frances Sternhagen) in a two-story house, where Cliff spent his childhood. It was bulldozed after Esther sold her property and moved with her newfound nest egg to Florida. Cliff then moved into a small apartment of his own, in which the couch doubled as a bed.A chatter-box by nature, Cliff was well known as a storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity and bearing little relation to the conversation going on at the bar. Carla did not like Cliff and often insulted him or his opinions . Cliff took great pride in his job as a postal worker and often became agitated when people insulted his job or the U.S. Postal Service. He sometimes talked about his job as if he was in the police force. Cliff's father made a brief appearance on Cheers before fleeing the country to Australia to avoid prison for fraud. Socially awkward and generally ignored by women, Cliff didn't have any real relationship until meeting fellow oddball postal worker Margaret O'Keefe in the seventh season. When she was reprimanded for using a postal vehicle to drive to a secret tryst, Margaret decided she shamed the postal service so much that she resigned her post and went to work in Canada. She returned in the eighth season and wanted Cliff to commit to her, which he did, although he had a fit of "hysterical blindness" before feeling fully comfortable with the arrangement. (en)
