Besides Kelsey Grammer, do you think any other cast members will be type cast in their Frasier roles?

Dr. Lilith Sternin · 06-14-2002, 09:29 PM

Well, Jane Leeves certainly won't be. She IS currently playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret, after all. (Which I'm going to see in a few weeks! WOOOO!)

David Hyde Pierce I think will be typecast. I can't picture him as a serial killer or a hillbilly. LOL

Typecast? Naaaah!
I'm sure the cast of Seinfeld felt the same way once....

Sadly enough, I doubt any cast member will find success on any other TV show after "Frasier" winds down.
Movies are another story, but TV, no way.

I think they all should say, "Screw TV!" and pursue theatre, with an occasional film here and there. At least Kelsey! I think they'd all fair well pursuing a stage career, with the exception of Peri Gilpin, perhaps. She doesn't strike me as the theatrical type... you have to have a certain ....personality.... to do well on a stage. I could be wrong, but she doesn't strike me as being... eccentric enough? to do so. Hmmm. LOL. She's a wonderful actress, but she'll prolly be reduced to doing voiceovers for Nick at Nite, and will soon be referred to as "That Nick at Nite Chick," much like Kirstie Alley is now, "That Pier One Chick."

Sad, but true?

Maybe...but I think she'll be able to find something...maybe do animation voices...

Gilpin already does voice overs for N@N, McDonalds and Hyundai. She could be the female James Earl Jones(The Queen of Voice Overs!)

Frasier: Would we sleep together? Lilith: I thought we'd freeze your sperm. Frasier: Is that a yes or a no? Lilith: Natural fertilization isn't practical. I'd have to fly to Seattle every time I ovulate. Frasier: Right, okay. So then, your plan is for me to visit some local doctor, freeze my essence, and then bring it home with you. Lilith: Correct. I'll take mine to go!
