𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧 — the voice behind TV's animated villains 🦹

Peri Gilpin built a prolific second career as an animated-series villain — she voiced Desiree in Nickelodeon's *Danny Phantom*, Volcana in *Superman: The Animated Series* and *Justice League*, Hecate in Disney's *Hercules*, Kate Corrigan in the *Hellboy* animated films, and Jane Proudfoot in *Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within*.

On returning as Roz for the *Frasier* reboot, she said: ❝I just loved getting to do it. It was a fantasy come true to play that part again and to go back into that world.❞

𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 — Niles became a Broadway leading man 🎭

After Frasier ended, David Hyde Pierce built a genuine Broadway leading-man career — he played Sir Robin in Spamalot, then won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for the Kander and Ebb murder-mystery musical Curtains, a major upset on Tony night (he'd publicly predicted Raúl Esparza would win for Company). The first words he ever spoke on a Broadway stage? "I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to leave" — as an usher in his 1982 debut Beyond Therapy.

On the win: ❝I was surprised, but I was not upset. I was surprised that I got it, and I was surprised by what it meant to me.❞

𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 — a love story that started with Scrabble 💕

Jean Smart met her husband of 34 years, Richard Gilliland, on the set of Designing Women — he was cast as Annie Potts' boyfriend. She invited him into her trailer to play Scrabble; he invited her to a play he was doing, and she went five or six times just to hear him be hilarious.

In her words: ❝We were never apart after the day we met.❞ Meeting at work, she said, was "a great way to meet somebody" — no pressure, just two people laughing together.

𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 — 𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 🎙

Kelsey Grammer didn't just play Frasier Crane — he lived in him for two decades. Debuting on 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑠 in 1984, he stayed through its 1993 finale, then headlined his own spin-off for eleven seasons until 2004 📺
Twenty years in one character's shoes makes it one of the longest runs by any live-action actor in primetime history. And after all that time, he still got the last word ✨

❝For eleven years you've heard me say, ‘I'm listening.’❞ 🌿
— Frasier Crane, “Goodnight, Seattle”
