The entertainment industry is picking themselves back up following two tragedies that happened earlier this month: the passing of Michael Alaimo and George Wendt, who had both appeared on the sitcom Cheers.
The former lost his life on Friday, May 2, in Burbank, California, but his de–th wasn’t announced until Wednesday, May 21. The cause of his passing has not yet been disclosed but his daughter, longtime TV PR and communications executive Gabriella Alaima Thomas, confirmed that he “passed away peacefully.”
Alaimo was someone of many talents as he worked in avant-garde theatre while also appearing in countless TV shows and movies, most notably his roles in Space Jam, The China Syndrome, All I Want For Christmas, Cheers, and Scrubs, to name a few.
