______ Passed Away Today, RIP (3 Viewers)

Joe Don Baker, who appeared in three James Bond movies, aged 89
Big time in the 70s, starred with Robert Duvall in The Outfit '73
Also same year he was in Charley Varrick, good little film
Varrick is terrific. slower paced than the million mile an hour movies of a similar vein today. saw it about a year ago. loved it.
 
George Wendt
His "Da Bears" skits might have a limited appeal but they are hilarious. Him and Robert Smigel had some good zingers for Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.


 
Thoughts and prayers going out to Vera.
Vera's voice was done by Wendt's real-life wife.

I mentioned this in Scoresman's TV show countdown thread and I'll put it here for those who didn't go in there.

My uncle was a regular at The Bull & Finch Pub (now called Cheers Beacon Hill) in Boston, whose exterior was used in the opening of all Cheers episodes. He was built kind of like George Wendt and people would constantly ask him if he was the inspiration for Norm (he wasn't). Eventually, he had a jar next to him that said "ask me if I'm Norm and donate to the Jimmy Fund" which is a Boston-based charity that benefits the Dana Farber Cancer Center.

A few years ago, a video clue on Jeopardy! showed a shot of the bar at The Bull & Finch Pub. And my uncle was in the picture. So I guess I have a relative who was on Jeopardy!
 
The rumor is he got the part of Norm after the producers saw his guest appearance on M*A*S*H.

He was the uncle of Jason Sudeikis(Ted Lasso). Interesting connection.

RIP

The guy from Wings who was in Sideways got his big break from a brief appearance on Cheers.
Or you could just say Thomas Haden Church. Lowell from Wings.
you mean Billy Clanton in Tombstone? that guy?
No, I think he means the guy who played the Sandman in the Spiderman movie.
