What are the original cast members of NBC sitcom Frasier doing now?
Dr. Frasier Crane is back in Boston in the 2023 reboot of the hit sitcom 'Frasier'. The original show which ran for a successful 11 years from 1993-2004, will return — this time on the Paramount-owned CBS and Paramount+ on October 12. Daily Mail notes CBS will air the first two episodes of the reboot series back to back on October 17 at 9:15 pm ET/PT. While Kelsey Grammar is probably one of the few original cast members to return in the reboot, let's have a look at the whereabouts of the other OG cast members.
Kelsey Grammer
Kelsey Grammar is set to star in the 2023 'Frasier' reboot, reprising his original role. The now 68-year-old acting veteran has appeared in movies and TV shows like 'Boss', 'Like Father', 'X-Men: The Last Stand' among others while his last appearance was in the 2023 film 'Jesus Revolution'.
Jane Leeves
Jane Leeves carved a niche for herself by playing Frasier's father Martin's live-in caregiver Daphne Moon. Since then, the 62-year-old actress has appeared in several shows like 'Hot in Cleveland' (2010-2015) and 'The Resident' (2018-2023).
David Hyde Pierce
David Hyde Pierce essayed the role of Frasier's on-screen brother Niles Crane, who was also a psychiatrist. After appearing in 'The Perfect Host' in 2010, the 64-year-old actor is now appearing regularly at HBO Max's 'Julia' since 2022.
Peri Gilpin
Peri Gilpin was cast as Rosalinda or Roz Doyle, the fictional producer of Frasier's show 'Dr. Frasier Crane Show'. After the end of 'Frasier', the 62-year-old talented actress found herself starring in shows like 'Make It or Break It' (2009-2012) and 'Hot in Cleveland' (2010-2015), among others. She also appeared in the 'Hellboy' franchise.
John Mahoney
The English-American actor John Mahoney, who played a retired police officer and Frasier's father Martin Crane, died in 2018 at the age of 77. Before his death, he appeared in an array of films including 'Dan in Real Life' (2007) and 'Flipped' (2010)
Bebe Neuwirth
The Emmy-winning actress Bebe Neuwirth played the role of Lilith Sternin who was a love interest of Frasier before their love turned into hostility. The 64-year-old actress, who has been married to Chris Calkins since 2009, has appeared in shows like 'Madam Secretary' (2014-2019). Since 2022, she is seen regularly in the HBO show 'Julia'.
Dan Butler
Dan Butler essayed the recurring character of Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe in the show. In later seasons, he became a series regular after his character — that of a loud-talking, brash sports show host and Frasier's co-worker at the radio station — became a fan-favorite. He later went on to act in 'Prayers for Bobby' (2009) and 'Sniper 2'.
