He played a delightful psycho in the John Landis directed episode “Family” of Masters of Horror. Always a pleasure to see him pop up in stuff.
Coach: What would you say to a nice beer, Normie?
Norm: Going down?
"What's shaking, Norm?"
"All four cheeks & a couple of chins."
“Night, everybody.”
Damn Norm, good job living until 76. Definitely won the over
Weird that he was only 76, he looked like he was in his 50s back in the 80s.
Edit He was 34 when Cheers started and 45 when it ended...
Jason Alexander and his character George were 29 in the Seinfeld pilot
That's so weird, I'm 7 years older and I still look like a child, comparatively
All the angels used the best greeting...Norm!
I'll have a beer in your name tomorrow. My gf and I are watching through Cheers currently,only season 2 and it's all nostalgia. To be fair we don't really remember most of these early episodes but every episode feels like watching TV with my parents in the 80s to me.
I loved Harry Anderson as Harry the Hat, then they gave him Night Court.
Relevant: Would you like to take a survey?!
Do you eat beans?
Would you like to see a new movie starring George Wendt?
Would you eat beans with George Wendt?
Would you like to see George Wendt eating beans?
Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.
RIP Norm.
I guess I haven't seen him in awhile but time keeps moving on.
I am going to be running across his work again soon as I am almost up to his Columbo episode.
I just found out he was in (as injured man) Jekyll and Hyde ... Together Again. Huh.
I really enjoyed him in House. He was great as the neighbor.
RIP George. Cheers.
But Norm would be pissed you let a good beer go unconsumed.
Every time I hear his name:
Sad news, on a more serious note.
