Where original Frasier cast are now

First scene of Episode 1 of Frasier Frasier is getting a revival on Paramount+ on October 12, just in time for the orginal show’s 30th anniversary on September 16. The hit NBC sitcom originally premiered in 1993, running for 11 seasons, and became the most Emmy-winning series of all time with 37 wins, until that record was smashed by HBO’s Game of Thrones in 2016. However, Frasier still holds the record for most wins by a comedy series and the new reboot will undoubtedly earn the series more. It will feature some old and new faces, including British Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst as friend Alan Cornwall, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Frederick ‘Freddy’ Crane, Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Toks Olagundoye as Olivia and Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith Sternin. However, not everyone has returned to reprise their old characters, including the visibly missing David Hyde Pierce, who played Frasier’s brother, Niles Crane. So, where are the original cast members of Frasier today? READ MORE First Frasier reboot trailer drops with Only Fools legend but huge star missing Frasier is getting a revival this October.

And I would never disrespect that in such a way as to say just offhandedly, ‘Oh, no, thanks. I’m not going to do that again.’ It’s too valuable to me.” However, he added that because it is so valuable to him, he ‘wouldn’t do it just to do it.’ Roz Doyle – Peri Gilpin Peri Gilpin played Roz Doyle, the producer on Frasier’s radio show.
