While Wendt is best known for Cheers, he started his career with the famous improv troupe Second City, in his hometown of Chicago. He guest-starred on other popular shows such as Taxi and M*A*S*H but found his big break playing Norm Peterson on Cheers for eleven seasons. He earned several Emmy nominations for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for the role.
