Cheers star George Wendt is hospitalized with chest pains and had to drop out of a production of The Odd Couple in Chicago.

The actor "is getting medical attention and will eventually make a full recovery," Timothy Evans, executive director of the Northlight Theatre, tells the Chicago Tribune.

Wendt, 64, who played beer-guzzling Norm Peterson on the popular sitcom, checked into the hospital on Sunday.
