Kelsey Grammer is a comic actor best known for playing Dr. Frasier Crane on two hit television shows, Cheers and Frasier. Grammer studied drama at New York's Juilliard School before embarking on a career on stage. He joined the cast of Cheers in 1984 as psychologist Frasier Crane, the fianceé of Diane (played by Shelley Long). He became a regular cast member and earned two Emmy nominations, and Frasier was created, moving his character from Boston to Seattle and making him the host of a radio show. Both Cheers and Frasier were perennial Emmy favorites, and Grammer won three best actor awards for his portrayal of the cynical and pompous Dr. Crane. During his twenty year run as Dr. Frasier Crane, Grammer was ... a big hit as the voice of Sideshow Bob, a semi-regular character on The Simpsons.
