Even though he was unavailable at the time, the producers insisted he come in anyway. Wendt revealed he was only auditioning for a small role but ended up reading for another character. He ultimately landed a starring role as Norm Peterson.
Getty George Wendt passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 20.Wendt also shared that the first time he met Harrelson was at a Gelsonâs supermarket in Los Angeles. He added that Harrelson was âshovedâ by a friend in his direction. Thatâs when he told him about his audition.
âI just wanted to tell you, Iâm auditioning for your show tomorrow.â I said, âOh, thatâs great, man, tell you what, good luck with that, and hey, whatâs your name anyway?â âWoody.â âOh no, not the characterâs name, whatâs your name?â He goes, âWoody.â I go, âOh, I think I might be seeing you tomorrow.â
Getty George Wendt played Norm on âCheers.âMeanwhile, Wendtâs âCheersâ co-stars were saddened by the news of the actorâs passing. Ted Danson, who played Sam Malone, told Us Weekly heâs âdevastated to hear Georgie is no longer with us.â He added:
I am sending all my love to [his 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 Cliff Clavin, said heâs âheartbrokenâ over his friendâs passing. He noted:
George brought Norm to life with a subtle brilliance â the kind that made it look easy. That was his gift. He was a true craftsman â 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. Iâll miss our conversations and the quiet moments of friendship that meant the most.
Meanwhile, Rhea Perlman, who played Carla Tortelli, described Wendt as the âsweetest, kindest manâ she has 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 didnât hurt. What a guy! Iâll miss him more than words can say.
Wendt died peacefully in his sleep while at home on Tuesday, May 20. He was 76.
