Some actors trigger pleasant memories when you think of their character in shows. His portrayal of Norm is one of those characters.

Weirdly enough I’ve never seen cheers. I’ve seen him in a few other things and he always gave a great performance no matter the role.
I went through his filmography and I’m a bit surprised he was never a guest star on any Star Trek shows or movies. Most of the Cheers cast did at least one Star Trek movie or tv episode; it’s almost a trope at this point. Hell Yesterday’s Enterprise, one of the best episodes of TNG, had like two Cheers actors in it as guest characters. And Kirstie Alley was a standout as Saviik on the Wrath of Khan. It’s always been depressing to me that her schedule never allowed her to keep playing the character on future Star Trek movies.
Based on his physical appearance in the 90s, he would have made a great older Klingon or Cardassian character.

RIP Norm. I think I watched about every episode of Cheers growing up.

“Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?”
“A little early, isn’t it, Woody?”
“For a beer?”
“No, for stupid questions.”
