he was 34 when that show began airing in 1982.

it didn't look like they had many 21 yr olds in that bar.

One of my Top 10 favorite roles. In some ways, “Norm” was an idol to me. He played the role so well

RIP

Fave episode featuring him was when he was painting the rich dude's house (Tom Skerritt) on zero sleep, trying to sneak Rebecca around.

Just so, so good

There was a story on GlobalBC news last night where they visited the Pemberton Station pub in North Vancouver.

They have a lifesized wood carving of "Norm" that sits on one of their bar stools. Its carved in a way so a pint glass fits right into the statues hand.

George Wendt filmed a movie up here once and word got to him that they had the statue so he went to the pub and took a picture but no-one said they had one of him sitting next to it.

Cant find that clip online but they went a tad dark on the wood stain for his skin.

Norm was my favourite on Cheers.

Norm: Afternoon everybody.

Cheers: Norm!!

Sam: Whatcha up to Norm?

Norm: My ideal weight if I was eleven feet tall.


My personal fave.

"Sammy, I messed up a connected guy's taxes and now mob enforcers are coming here to rough me up."

"I got an idea.....its kind of crazy......but....it....just...might...work"
