Anthony Cistaro is a classically trained actor who is best known for his comedic turns on some of the most endearing shows on broadcast television. Cheers (1982) provided him his first big break when he was cast as Henri, Woody's recurring nemesis during the show's final three seasons. He was then invited to guest on Bob (1992) (Newhart) as Matthew, Tricia's overconfident improv-actor boyfriend. Anthony also appeared on Seinfeld (1989) as Elaine's boyfriend Joel Rifkin ("Same name as the serial killer ..."), and as a French gate attendant on the final episode of Friends (1994). Often called upon to deliver a humorous take on foreign characters, Anthony has guested as a slithery Eurotrash photographer (The Nanny (1993)), a surly Russian chef (Charlie Lawrence (2003)), a gullible French Canadian hockey player (Alright Already (1997)), an arrogant British director Wild Oats (1994)), a rough-hewn Canadian fur trapper (Thanks (1999)) and an insouciant French waiter (Ugly Betty (2006)).
