John Mahoney dead at 77:

The actor John Mahoney, a longtime Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble member and a performer known to millions for his work on the NBC sitcom "Frasier," died Sunday at the age of 77. Mahoney had been suffering from cancer.

Mahoney's death was confirmed Monday by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, which canceled its scheduled Monday night opening of “You Got Older” in Mahoney’s honor.

Frasier is one of my all time favorite shows. And by all accounts, Mahoney was great to work with.

77? I thought he was that age when the show aired 20 years ago. He was only 53 when the show started?

Yes. He was only like 15 years older than Kelsey Grammer. They refer to that on occasion on some of their "meet the cast"/"show some bloopers" shows. He's just made up to look older for the show.

I had no idea until I saw the obit that he was British.

He was also in a movie that a lot of us Reds fans know about. In Eight Men Out he played the Chicago White Sox manager

He was good in Say Anything and Thr Brothers McMullen, R.I.P..

He was actually in an episode of Cheers, but not playing Frasier's Dad

That's because most 53 year old actors today dye their hair to make them look like they are 40. When Mahoney went gray (like most people do in their 40's) he stayed gray.

Bruce Campbell is like 60 years old and I'd be willing to bet he's been dying his hair for 20 years now.
