George Wendt, best known as Norm from Cheers, died today, May 20, 2025, at the age of 76. He had a lengthy career before then as one of those "It's that guy!" actors, and continued to work regularly after Cheers completed its long run. He is survived by three children and his wife, Bernadette Birkett, whose roles include the off-screen voice of Norm's wife, Vera.
Fun fact that many on this board may not know: He and John "Cliff" Ratzenberger appeared together in a commercial for Ontario's beer stores.
