Allen Kelsey Grammer (born February 21, 1955) is an American actor, producer, and singer. He gained fame for his role as the psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane on the NBC sitcom Cheers (1984–1993) and its spin-off Frasier (1993–2004, and again from 2023 to 2024). With more than 20 years on air, this is one of the longest-running roles played by a single live-action actor in primetime television history. He has received numerous accolades, including a total of six Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Tony Award. Grammer, having trained as an actor at Juilliard and the Old Globe Theatre, made his professional acting debut as Lennox in the 1981 Broadway revival of Macbeth. The following year, he portrayed Cassio acting opposite Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones in Othello. In mid-1983, he acted alongside Mandy Patinkin in the original off-Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sunday in the Park with George. He has since starred in the leading roles in productions of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, My Fair Lady, Big Fish, and Finding Neverland. In film, he is known for his role as Dr. Hank McCoy / Beast in the superhero films X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) and The Marvels (2023). His other roles include Down Periscope (1996), The Pentagon Wars (1998), and Swing Vote (2008). He is also known for his voice roles in Anastasia (1997), Toy Story 2 (1999), and as Sideshow Bob in The Simpsons (1990–present). He took guest roles in the sitcoms 30 Rock (2010–2012), Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2016), and Modern Family (2017). For his performance as the corrupt mayor in the Starz political series Boss (2011–2012), he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama. In early 2010, Grammer returned to Broadway in the musical revival of La Cage aux Folles, where he received a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical. In mid-2016, Grammer won a Tony Award for Best Musical as producer of a musical revival of The Color Purple. In early 2019, he starred as Don Quixote in a production of Man of La Mancha at the London Coliseum. In late 2023, The Telegraph described Grammer as one of "the finest actors" of his generation. He was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 22, 2001. Description above from the Wikipedia article Kelsey Grammer, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

(EDIT - 10/16/19 - It took me 6 days to complete this, but I now have every role casted. You are now able to suggest roles!) (Credit to Phil Cho (https://www.philchoart.com/ and https://www.deviantart.com/phil-cho) and Roy Westerman (https://www.deviantart.com/roysovitch) for Earth-27 Character Images. I'm not sure if it was a collab or not, but thanks for the amazing artwork!) Hello! My name is TJ Hoffman and today I will be recasting the entire DCEU from the top to the bottom. Allow me to explain the scenario I’ve created to base all of my casting decisions off of. Here’s the list of things to keep in mind about the scenario: - First, I will be assuming all control over the casting. - To keep it simple, my budget will be unlimited and will not affect my decisions. - I will be utilizing the conscious mind and memory that I have with me today. - The first film in the Universe will be released in 2010. - I’m pretending the Dark Knight Trilogy and Superman Returns have not been made, and the Green Lantern film isn’t in production. Everything before that remains. - I’m not allowed to cast actors in roles that they’ve already played before (on the contrary, I am allowed to cast actors for roles who they have voiced before in animated films). To make it more challenging, however, I’m also not allowed to cast actors who are already in the DCEU, or any other live-action DC Movie/TV show that has been made after 2010, to the rule as well. Sorry Gal Gadot fans.
