February 5, 2018John Mahoney, best known for playing Frasier’s dad on the beloved sitcom, passed away last night.
John Mahoney, the veteran actor best know for playing the father on the 90s NBC hit Frasier, has died at 77 on Sunday.
He passed away in a Chicago hospice facility, TMZ is reporting, citing his publicist.
The British-born actor starred as Martin Crane alongside his on-screen sons Kelsey Grammar, who played the titular Frasier, and David Hyde Pierce, who played Niles, in the sitcom for a whopping 11 seasons, from 1993 to 2004.
In 2000, he was awarded a SAG Award for his work on the show, and was also nominated for two Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.
Besides starring in the hugely popular sitcom, John also had a lucrative film career, with roles in productions including The American President, Say Anything… and Eight Men Out.
Most recently, John had a recurring role in TV Land’s Hot In Cleveland, where he appeared as Roy in six episodes between 2011 and 2014.
I’ve only seen a handful of Frasier episodes, but he was certainly my favorite on the show.
Ha… well those were certainly different times, weren’t they!
