Some would say he’s best know for his voice that has that rich, vibrating quality of a vintage cello played in a grand hall, and it wouldn’t be far from the truth. This Hollywood star, however, is also known as the heart and soul of the greatest sitcoms to have ever graced American television.
Today, at 71, he still stands as one of the most revered figures in the film industry, with six Emmy’s under his belt, and no plan of slowing down any time soon.
Kelsey Grammer was born in 1955 in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. When his parents divorces, which was something he didn’t take easy, he moved to New jersey with his maternal grandparents who raised him.
At the age of just twelve, Grammer lost his grandfather, whom he considered a father-figure and the most important person in his life.
Grammer’s grandfather died of cancer after years of heavy alcohol abuse, and towards the end of his life, he became less patient with Grammer, who once recalled, “And that begun the idea that there was something wrong with me.”
