(OSV News) -- Catholicism exerted an important influence on the life of actor George Wendt. Best known for portraying loveable barfly Norm Peterson on the long-running NBC-TV sitcom "Cheers," Wendt died May 20, aged 76. A Chicago native, Wendt attended two Windy City-area Catholic elementary schools before graduating from Campion Jesuit High, a boarding school located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.

Despite this unpromising start to his college career, Wendt eventually earned his degree — a Bachelor of Arts in economics — from the Jesuits’ Rockhurst College (now University) in Kansas City, Missouri. In a 1984 interview with The Milwaukee Journal, Wendt revealed that his admission to Rockhurst may have been a case of “who you know” trumping other factors. “The admissions director from Campion had moved on to take the same job at Rockhurst College when I applied there,” Wendt recalled.
