For Kelsey Grammer, Frasier is more than just his most famous role

For many of his fans, Kelsey Grammer is inseparable from his character Dr. Frasier Crane, who first appeared on “Cheers” and later got his own spin-off, “Frasier.” Last year, the actor reprised the role in a reboot of “Frasier” that’s now in its second season. But Kelsey’s connection to his most famous character runs deeper than simple nostalgia. He opens up about how the cast of “Frasier” became his family after he suffered several personal tragedies, why he didn’t always feel welcomed on “Cheers,” and how he ended up voicing Sideshow Bob on “The Simpsons.”

Gotta state the obvious... aside from Grammer being so eloquent , charming and well-spoken, Tom is such a damn good interviewer!

Although... having just finished the video, Tom was lobbed the perfect, poignant end to the interview at 22:14 and then squeezed in a question about Sideshow Bob! That would've been better placed earlier in the interview.
