"Frasier" was one of the few TV shows I enjoyed from recent years.
I just saw this! So sad! We LOVE that show. Watch it on Hulu all the time. If we just have a half hour to watch something we often choose a Frasier episode. Best writing in tv.
He was amazing on this show. He was actually a gay actor from Manchester, England with a heavy accent. He OWNED that tough sweet American wounded cop role. So well done. His accent was so good most people dont know he was British. Absolutely amazing. And if you see the outtakes the guy had a wicked sense of humor.
Rest In Peace, you brought us many hours of joy.
I liked him in a movie he did with Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker back in the early 90s, “Striking Distance”.
That's the sister of Kelsey Grammer.
And that scum is the guy who abducted her, then over the course of DAYS, tortured her to death.
For no reason.
I read somewhere a long time back that he had cancer. Certainly haven’t seen that one blurb repeated, or even confirmed.
He was in MOONSTRUCK, as well, with Cher and Nicolas Cage, Olivia Dukakis, and other great stars.
I always thought the best ones on Frazier were Niles, Martin and Roz.
Man! I love Marty! RIP See you at Dukes
I haven’t seen Frasier in so long, but I remember when that was “must-see TV”. I liked him in the movie “She’s the One.”
RIP funny man.
Thanks for the MANY laughs.
Enjoyed his work. RIP.
Fun Fact: John Mahoney wasn't really old enough to be Kelsey Grammar's father, so they gave him a cane and a limp.
Fun Fact: John Mahoney actually was born closer to Manchester, England, than Jane Leeves,whose character was supposed to be from there.
As you might suspect, I am very sad.
I love that show. Have all eleven years on DVD.
You all know he was a flamer? Just sayin’.
OMG! I was just watching 2 eps today before work!
For my money, “Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz” is the best 22 minutes of television ever produced. And Frasier was the finest sitcom every made.
IMO it was the best written and funniest situation comedy on TV.
We watch it on Netflix. One of the funniest shows ever.
He was great as the fast-talking editor in The Hudsucker Proxy.
That’s sad to hear. Everything I ever saw him in, I thought he did a good job, Frasier included.
