George Wendt was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He attended a strict Jesuit prep school and then dropped out of Notre Dame University after a few uneventful years. He worked with the Windy City's famed Second City comedy troupe from 1974-1980. He is best known for playing Norm Peterson on the hit televison series, "Cheers" (1982).
He is married to actress Bernadette Birkett, who provided the rare offscreen voice of Vera, Norm's unseen wife, Vera. The couple have two sons and a daughter. They met while working at the Second City in Chicago.
I loved George playing the roles in cheer. He was amazingly superb. I didnt see all the episodes of cheer, but my mother and father were BIG fans of it. So i decided to watch it as well. And i love it. Watching george sitting in that corner just minding his buisness, taking a drink or two here and there. He was amazing in every part. He also played a great part in man of the house. He was REALLY funny in that indian hat, and fits the part of indian chief so great. He was great playing all parts in all his films.
