R.I.P., George Wendt: Ted Danson and More Cheers Co-Stars Pay Tribute (‘Humble, Hilarious and Full of Heart')
George Wendt's Cheers castmates are raising a glass in his honor. Wendt, who died Tuesday at the age of 76, is best known to TV fans as Cheers' wisecracking beer aficionado Norm Peterson, and his co-stars on the hit NBC sitcom are paying tribute to him in light of his passing. More from TVLine George Wendt, Known for Playing Norm on Cheers, Dead at 76 Jane Bright, Survivor: Nicaragua Contestant, Dead at 71 Denise Alexander, General Hospital and Days of Our Lives Vet, Dead at 85 Ted Danson, who starred as bartender Sam Malone on Cheers, told Entertainment Weekly: 'I am devastated to hear that Georgie is no longer with us. I am sending all my love to [Wendt's wife] Bernadette and the children. It is going to take me a long time to get used to this. I love you, Georgie.' John Ratzenberger, who played Norm's drinking buddy Cliff Clavin, added: 'I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of my friend George Wendt. For 11 years on Cheers, we shared a stage, a lot of laughs, and a front-row seat to one of television's most beloved friendships. George brought Norm to life with a subtle brilliance — the kind that made it look easy. That was his gift.' Ratzenberger also called Wendt 'a true craftsman — humble, hilarious, and full of heart… What you saw on screen was exactly who he was off-screen with impeccable comedic timing and a deep loyalty to those he loved. I'll miss our conversations and the quiet moments of friendship that meant the most.' Rhea Perlman, who played surly bar waitress Carla, offered her sympathies as well, calling Wendt 'the sweetest, kindest man I ever met… It was impossible not to like him. As Carla, I was often standing next to him, as Norm always took the same seat at the end of the bar, which made it easy to grab him and beat the crap out of him at least once a week. I loved doing it, and he loved pretending it didn't hurt. What a guy! I'll miss him more than words can say.'
