“He was as funny, tender and warm, like any character he played in movies and television,” he said Sudeikis. “There is such an old saying not to meet your heroes, because they will usually disappoint you. ‘
“He was an amazing pattern for me,” he added later, in an interview with KSHB -TV Houston. “He taught me that acting is a career that you can have if you really take care of her. He always kept in touch with his family, his roots – and from Chicago, from which he came from, and from the period he spent here in Rockhurst University in Kansas City.”
“I miss him very much, because I honestly loved him,” he concluded.
The event was also attended by Paul Rudd, a performer of the role of Ant-man in the Marvel cinema universe. He also devoted a few words to Wendt. “His absence is very noticeable this year. (…) He was really, a really sweet guest. I loved him.”
