‘Frasier’ reunion
The cast of “Frasier” reunited on Skype Wednesday, doing a video chat from their homes on “Stars In The House” with Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley. Sitcom stars Kelsey Grammer, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin and David Hyde Pierce discussed the “Cheers” spinoff, which ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004, and talked about how Lisa Kudrow was originally cast as Dr. Frasier Crane’s producer before she joined “Friends.” Other cast members joining the hour-long chat included Bebe Neuwirth, Dan Butler, Tom McGowan and Harriet Sansom Harris; John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s father Martin, died in 2018. “There was a moment when I fell in love with each of you, really fell in love,” Grammer said. The Daily Mail reports “Stars in the House” is an online series raising money for The Actors Fund during the coronavirus pandemic.
