Kelsey Grammer has zero plans to slow down anytime soon. The 62-year-old actor is starring in a new series on Amazon titled The Last Tycoon, a drama based on F. Scott Fitzgeralds final unfinished novel, as movie studio boss Pat Brady, who was modeled after real-life ruthless mogul Louis B. Mayer. And while stepping back in time to the 1930s alongside co-stars Matt Bomer and Lily Collins should keep Grammar busy, hes also embarking on making his London stage debut later this year, performing at LA Opera early next year and launching his own brewery within two months. If thats not enough, the proud parent welcomed his seventh child in 2016.
Fox News spoke with Grammer about The Last Tycoon, his lasting success, and whether fans can expect a “Frasier” reunion: Fox News: What was it about The Last Tycoon and your character Pat Brady that drew you in as an actor? I liked what seemed to be this guy whos struggling with who he is at his core and who he has to be in order to survive. Billy and I talked about where the character might be headed and the sort of thing that was going to be happening. And I thought this is something I can play. Something exactly I havent played before, which is always part of my criteria in choosing a role.
Fox News: How was it working with Lily Collins? Fox News: In one interview, you said that while the both of you were getting ready to shoot, her fathers [Phil Collins] music would suddenly play in your mind. Fox News: Youve had lasting success in television. How does it feel to embark on a new show?
Fox News: Does it ever get tiring for you to still be recognized as Dr. Frasier Crane? The number of people that come up to me are never aggressive or unhappy. Theyre always smiling and thankful and grateful for the work. And then of course, there are others who paid more attention to the show and had a little more understanding on some of the drama. So, its just a career. Ive been at it for a long time. And it would be indecorous of me to take issue with the fact that Im recognized for Frasier. Its a great character. Fox News: Do you stay in touch with your former cast mates? Fox News: In this era of reboots, can we expect a Frasier reunion in the future? Fox News: Youre also going to be making your London stage debut and then later join the Los Angeles Opera. What keeps you going as such a busy actor? Fox News: With so many projects keeping you busy, how do you find that balance of being an on-the-go actor, all while being a hands-on father? Fox News: Youre also launching your own brewery. Fox News: When did you originally come up with the idea? Fox News: And just to be clear, no sherry, right?
