Kelsey Grammer recalls auditioning for George Lucas.
Kelsey Grammer is best known for playing Frasier Crane on Cheers and Frasier, which recently returned to Paramount+ for a new reboot nearly 20 years after the original series finale. Some fans might recall that Grammer also has a history with Star Trek, playing Morgan Bateson in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode"Cause And Effect." Turns out, Star Trek wasn't the only"Star" franchise that could have featured the sitcom star.
"I walk around and knock on the door, sure enough, they call me in, and I sit down, and there is... I didn't know him at the time, George Lucas. 'We're making this thing about... is a fairytale in space. You know, two guys rescue a princess.' Great, sounds like fun. So he said, 'You're right for... well, there's two parts... maybe the older guy. He's kind of, you know, a gunslinging kind of guy. You know, an adventurer.
Which Frasier Stars Returned For Reboot?Grammar isn't the only star returning for the Paramount+ series. Bebe Neuwirth will reprise her role as Frasier's ex-wife, Lilith. Peri Gilpin is also returning as Roz Doyle, who produced Frasier's radio show in Seattle throughout the original Frasier run. Conversely, David Hyde Pierce will not return as Frasier's brother, Niles.
In an interview with the Independent, Grammer explained that the new series is less of a reboot and more of an all-new series to feature the character.
