Ted Danson is mourning the death of his longtime friend and former “Cheers” co-star George Wendt. For 11 seasons and more than 250 episodes, Wendt entertained fans of the NBC sitcom as the beer-loving Norm. While Norm sat at the same stool, Danson's Sam Malone poured him a cold one from just behind the bar.

Hollywood and many of George Wendt's former co-stars are paying tribute to the actor after news of his death was announced Tuesday. Wendt died peacefully in his sleep at home, his family confirmed Tuesday morning.

Danson, John Ratzenberger, and Rhea Perlman, who starred alongside Wendt on all 11 seasons of "Cheers," poured their hearts out over the loss of their friend.
