While we know that actors always bring some of themselves into their roles, they also have to create a character that’s distinct from who they are in real life. In the case of George Wendt and Norm, there are definitely some overlaps in personality. But at the same time, there are distinct ways in which the two are drastically different. In this video, we’re taking a look at George Wendt, and how he differs from his famous role as Norm. We’re also taking a look at the ways in which they have things in common. Plus we talk about some fun facts from the show about Norm, such as how he used to make things incredibly difficult for the writers. (But not because he was a prima donna or anything!)
We also talk about the infamous spitball wards that happened in between takes, and what that meant for George during filming. And we talk about how the show’s co-creator, James Burrows thought of the job that George did, and the character of Norm.
