News broke on Wednesday, May 21, that actor Michael Alaimo died on May 2 at age 86. The actor — who appeared in such iconic '90s films as Space Jam, The Sandlot, Air Bud and more — portrayed Vinnie Claussen on the 1985 Cheers episode "2 Good 2 Be 4 Real."
Alaimo's daughter, Gabriella Alaimo Thomas, confirmed her father's death in a statement to Variety on Wednesday. While she did not cite a cause of death for the actor, she told the outlet that her dad "passed away peacefully."
“George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him. He will be missed forever," the actor's publicist said in a statement on Tuesday. "The family has requested privacy during this time."
Wendt's longtime Cheers co-stars paid tribute to the iconic star following the announcement of his death — including Perlman, Ted Danson (who played bar owner Sam Malone), and John Ratzenberger, who portrayed Norm's best friend Cliff Claven on 11 seasons of the hit sitcom.
“I am devastated to hear that Georgie is no longer with us,” the Good Place alum told the New York Post in a statement via his rep. “I am sending all my love to Bernadette and the children. It is going to take me a long time to get used to this. I love you, Georgie.”
