Kelsey Grammer: Thanks for the memories? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was just watching the Bob Hope special that was on NBC tonight. Among the many celebrities who appeared to pay tribute to Bob on his 100th birthday was Kelsey Grammer. As he spoke while the camera focussed in on him, I noticed something that I've suspected for years but never actually mentioned to anyone. That is, that "Frasier" himself bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Hope that is remarkable. They look so much alike as far as I'm concerned that if NBC is ever thinking of making a "Movie Of The Week" about Hope's life, they should use Grammer, coincidentally one of their biggest stars of today, in the title role. I think he'd do a great job!

that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

You know that's true.He does look alot like Bob Hope but his voice is too deep IMO.Brad Garret's voice was just deep enough to pull of Jackie Gleason and Sean Hayes' voice was just high enough to pull off Jerry Lewis.Kelsey's voice is too deep to pull off Bob Hope.
