Rees was best known for his roles as Robin Colcord, a millionaire love interest for Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) in 1980s comedy Cheers, and as British ambassador Lord John Marbury in the political drama The West Wing from 2000 to 2005.

Cary Elwes, who starred opposite him in Robin Hood: Men In Tights, wrote: “So sad about the passing of #RogerRees. A beautiful human being and an incredible talent. My condolences to his family #rottingham #rhmit #robinhoodmenintights #melbrooks”.
