I was trying to find the episode David was on Hot In Cleveland and searched IMDB.com (International Movie Data Base).
It wasn't listed.
I also found out that in the movie Hell Boy, he was not credited for his voice over - although I thought he played the part.

From the Biography section...

David holds the record for being nominated for most Best Supporting Actor Emmys for a character, "Dr. Niles Crane" on "Frasier" (1993). He was nominated 11 times.

He kickboxes.

Ahhh! Asked not to be credited as the voice of "Abe Sapien" in Hellboy (2004) because he felt the characterization of Abe truly belonged to Doug Jones (the actor who played Abe on the set).

One year when he was performing at the international comedy festival "Just for Laughs", he arrived in Montreal for check-in with the festival exhausted and disheveled. He remarked to one of the festival workers how he was looking forward to resting in his hotel room. The worker replied with empathy, saying how tired they were working overtime with few breaks trying to tie up the loose ends and help the performers before the comedy routines. Moments later, Pierce returned with fresh coffee and pastries for all those working at the Festival's check-in.

He hasn't been on Hot in Cleveland. Yet anyway. But we're all hoping. :) That's pretty cool he kickboxes, after that episode when Niles got his kickboxing certificate. :)

Thanks for clearing that up Leigh Ann. I thought he did a cameo on that show.

*whew* I thought I missed him on HIC there for a minute.
I love those facts, Pat. I've seen them there before and they make me happy. Those plus the interviews I've seen him in have convinced me that he really is a sweetheart. Love him. :heart:

Sigh, I love him too, like anyone here is unaware of that fact! Ive been to his IMDB site so many times I think I have the thing memorized! I actually found a DVD of Hellboy at Half Price Books and I was tempted to buy it, but I decided not to. It was supposed to be a pilot for a TV series that never happened but I've seen the promos for it enough that I wanted to see it anyway.
If he's ever on HIC, I'll definitely watch it on YouTube or on the TVLAND site when it comes on there since we can't get TV Land. I'm sure he wants to do it b/c he loves Jane but he's busy doing his plays and so many other things. But I have no doubt he'll be great when he is on there.

I just watched "Osmosis Jones", the movie staring Bill Murray that he did a voice for and I pretty much hated it, but I only watched it to hear his voice over. Just really not my type of movie but of course he did an amazing job in it.
