Best known for his iconic portrayal of the witty and snooty psychiatrist Frasier Crane on the beloved television sitcom Cheers, he later carried that charm into the spinoff series Frasier, further solidifying his place in TV history. Over the years, his distinctive voice also brought life to memorable animated characters—most notably Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons, a role that fans still recognize and quote today. In 2019, he took on a new chapter with a role in FOX’s legal drama Proven Innocent, showcasing his range beyond comedy.
Before rising to fame, he honed his craft with dedication, spending two formative years at The Juilliard School—a prestigious step that paved the way for an internship offer from the Old Globe Theater in San Diego. That early experience helped shape his career trajectory. Throughout his personal life, he has been married four times, all to Doreen Alderman, and together they’ve had seven children: Leigh-Anne Csuhany, Camille Grammer, and Kayte Walsh among them.
In June 2025, he and Kayte Walsh shared joyful news—they were expecting their fourth child together, marking his eighth child overall. It’s another milestone in the life of a man whose journey—from stage training to television stardom—has been as rich and layered as the characters he’s brought to life. His legacy, both on-screen and off, continues to evolve.
Back in 1999, he brought the character Stinky Pete the Prospector to life in the beloved Disney Pixar movie Toy Story 2, delivering a memorable performance that fans still talk about. Then, years later in 2014, he stepped into a completely different role as the intense and determined Harold Attinger in the high-octane blockbuster Transformers: Age of Extinction. He really showcased his range as an actor across these two very distinct films, proving time and again why he remains such a respected figure in Hollywood. Whether it’s animated classics or action-packed sequels, he consistently leaves a strong impression.
