Comedian With a View
Artie Lange, who plays comic Norm MacDonald’s sidekick on the ABC sitcom “Norm,” has leased a condo on the Wilshire corridor for six months. The asking price was $4,200 a month.
Lange, 32, starred opposite Chris O’Donnell and Renee Zellweger in the movie “The Bachelor” (1999), and he appeared with David Spade in the movie “Lost and Found,” released the same year.
He began his career in the comedy clubs of New York City, where he helped to create the sketch comedy group Live on Tape. His work there led to his being cast as a series regular on the Fox comedy sketch show “Mad TV” for two seasons, starting in 1995. While there, he played a number of female personalities, including Roseanne and Rosie O’Donnell.
Before Lange was cast as the title character’s half-brother in “Norm,” he appeared with Norm MacDonald in the 1998 movie “Dirty Work.”
Lange leased a two-bedroom two-bath unit in a high-rise with city views. He has a home in New Jersey.
Doris Lazner of DBL, Beverly Hills, represented the actor in his lease.
