    some people say he was the best in X-men 3, and I say no...he was best as Sideshow Bob, and also really good as Frasier! Frasier is one of my favorite shows.

    Kelsey Grammer is one of my absolute favorite actors. He also happens to be one of the most under rated actors. Any ways he came to fame when he played the role of Frasier Crane on the show "Cheers" and then "Frasier." But he has a big range of what he can do. Not to mention he's really good on doing voice overs (Toy Story 2, The Simpsons, ect).

    I love Kelsey Grammar. I like him best in Frasier, where I think he is absolutely hilarious! I don't see why people think Frasier's difficult to understand, it's really not!

    He also has an amazing voice! I love it!
