Former ‘Cheers’ star George Wendt has written a book.
George Robert Wendt (born October 17, 1948) is an American actor, best known for the role of Norm Peterson on the television show Cheers.
In recent times George starred in the Broadway play Hairspray as the character of Edna Turnblad until November 2008. He appeared with his former Cheers costar John Ratzenberger as a talent scout on Last Comic Standing during Season 6. He briefly appeared as Santa Claus in A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!.
He guest voiced as “Norm” on Family Guy during the Season 7 episode Three Kings.
On October 1, 2009, Wendt appeared on the Colbert Report the day before the IOC announces which city will host the 2016 Summer Olympics.
