Bebe Neuwirth auditioned for Lilith **with her arm in a sling** after a fall just one week earlier — producers didn't mind at all! She won **two consecutive Emmys** (1990 & 1991) for playing Dr. Lilith Sternin across both *Cheers* and *Frasier*. She also returned as Lilith in the 2023 *Frasier* revival — same sharp wit, same unforgettable presence! 💎

From Broadway dancer to TV icon — forever Lilith! ✨

Harriet Sansom Harris — Frasier's delightfully scheming agent Bebe Glazer — has known Kelsey Grammer since they were **18 years old at Juilliard**! They were classmates long before she stepped into Bebe's sharp suits. She won a **Tony Award** for Broadway's *Thoroughly Modern Millie*, played vengeful Felicia Tilman on *Desperate Housewives*, and returned as Bebe in the 2023 *Frasier* revival.

Isn't it wonderful that lifelong friendship gave us TV's most unforgettable agent-client duo?

Edward Hibbert — KACL's delightfully snooty food critic Gil Chesterton — had a secret second career as a **literary agent**, and he was the one who secured the screen rights to the novel *Fight Club*! He also stepped in as the voice of **Zazu** in Disney's *The Lion King II: Simba's Pride* and *The Lion King 1½*, replacing Rowan Atkinson. He returned as Gil in the 2023 *Frasier* revival — the perfect callback for one of radio's most unforgettable personalities.

Who knew the man with the most refined palate in Seattle also helped bring one of cinema's most iconic films to life?

Niles Crane wasn't in the original *Frasier* plan — creators wrote the part **specifically for David Hyde Pierce** the moment they saw how remarkably he resembled a younger Kelsey Grammer! He went on to win **four consecutive Emmys** for the role — still the only performer ever to win that category four times in a row. He chose not to return for the 2023 revival, saying he felt Niles belonged to that perfect original run.

Isn't it amazing that a chance physical resemblance gave TV one of its most beloved brothers?

Peri Gilpin beat over 300 actresses to win the role of the quick-witted radio producer **Roz Doyle** on *Frasier* — and she was actually the final choice after Lisa Kudrow was recast before filming even began! She appeared in an incredible **263 episodes** across all 11 seasons, perfectly balancing Frasier's pretension with down-to-earth warmth and sharp comebacks. She later reunited with Jane Leeves to launch their own production company, and returned as Roz for the *Frasier* revival in 2023!

Did you know the role that made her famous was almost played by a completely different star before she stepped in?
