Martin Crane, Frasier - How a blue-collar, no-nonsense guy like Martin ever ended up with two uptight sons like Frasier and Niles is a mystery for the ages. (Clearly, his genes were no match for those of his late psychiatrist wife.) While Martin (played wonderfully by John Mahoney) may have been a bit gruff and had a hard time with expressing emotions, it was quite obvious that he was proud of his sons' accomplishments and loved them very much. And although he wasn't necessarily the "moral compass" for his kids, Martin usually taught them a thing or two about common sense.

It makes perfect sense as John Mahoney is as queer as a 3 dollar bill.

Where did you ever hear that John Mahoney was queer? I have never heard or read anything to that effect.

I love John Mahoney in this role! He's a great actor and was very good in "Say Anything".
