Linney Guest Stars as a Love Interest During the Last Season of FRASIER

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Academy Award-nominated actress
Laura Linney signs on to Paramount Network Television's hit comedy series
FRASIER with a four episode arc as a potential love interest for Dr. Frasier
Crane (series star Kelsey Grammer). The first episode in which Linney appears
entitled "Match Game," is scheduled to air on Tuesday, March 23 at 9:00 PM on
NBC-TV.
Linney portrays Charlotte, a fraudulent matchmaker, whose attempt to set
up Frasier with sophisticated women proves unsuccessful. When Frasier exposes
her as an incompetent matchmaker, the two discover that they may be the
perfect match.
Ms. Linney is the latest in an ongoing string of "loves" for the ever-
hopeful Dr. Frasier Crane. Over eleven seasons, Frasier has been romantically
linked to innumerable suitors, portrayed by such leading ladies as Bridgette
Wilson, Jean Smart, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Felicity Huffman.
Linney, who earned an Emmy Award in 2002 for her role as Iris Bravard in
Showtime's "Wild Iris," also received an Academy Award nomination in 2000 for
her role as Sammy Prescott in the feature film "You Can Count On Me." Her
career began with a small role as a young teacher in "Lorenzo's Oil," which
paved the way to other critically acclaimed roles. Linney's other film
credits include a critically acclaimed role as a tough attorney in "Primal
Fear" and the role of Meryl, wife to Jim Carrey's Truman Burbank in the
satirical "The Truman Show," to name just a few. Currently, Linney stars in
the critically acclaimed "Mystic River" and the ensemble romantic comedy "Love
Actually."
FRASIER is arguably the most-honored comedy series since the inception of
television and awards for programming. Most recently FRASIER received its
tenth consecutive SAG nomination. David Hyde Pierce holds the record for the
most SAG Award nominations at 18 (one for "Nixon"), followed closely by series
star Kelsey Grammer, who has garnered 17 SAG nominations for his work
individually and as an ensemble member in FRASIER.
FRASIER has received a record-setting five consecutive Emmy Awards for
Outstanding Comedy Series, and has made history by amassing more Emmys than
any other show in television history, with 31. Kelsey Grammer has won three
Emmy Awards and has received twelve nominations to date for his portrayal of
the same character on three different shows ("Cheers," "Wings" and "Frasier").
Not only has the series, its writers, directors and its all-star cast
received a record number of 31 Emmy Awards, but they have also won a Golden
Globe Award for Best Musical or Comedy, the 1994 Peabody Award, a People's
Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy Series and an unprecedented three
consecutive Television Critics Association Awards for Best Comedy Series.
Additionally, the series has won multiple Viewers for Quality Television
Awards and the coveted Humanitas Prize. FRASIER ranked as the #1 Comedy
Series in Electronic Media's Critics Poll several years running and won the
BANFF International Television Festival four years in a row for Best Series.

FRASIER is a Grub Street Productions production in association with
Paramount Network Television and is filmed before a studio audience at the
Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
