    He is known for only one role.

    He played 'Macauley Culkin's' father in 'Michael Jackson's' video 'Black or White.'
    His character on 'Cheers' was named Hillary, Norm being a nickname.
    His self-titled show bombed and lasted less than a season.
    He has had less success than most of the other 'Cheers' alumni.
    As he goes through life he is constantly greeted by the name 'Norm.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated Rockhurst College (now known as Rockhurst University) in Kansas City, MO.
    Wendt traveled to the USSR to portray the title role of 'Oblomov,' in a BBC adaptation of Ivan Goncharov's novel.
    George Wendt is going to the Supreme Court with Cheers' co-star John Ratzenberger to get control of their characters (Norm and Cliff). Their characters are wanted to be used for commercials for Cheers-like airport bars. Wendt and Ratzenberger say they created their characters and do not want them exploited.
