Now it’s been announced that two other familiar faces from the original Frasier are coming back, and it has me wondering if this Paramount+ subscription -exclusive series will see Kelsey Grammer ’s title character going back to Seattle, Washington.
As seen above, Dan Butler and Edward Hibbert are set to respectively reprise Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe and Gil Chesterton as guest stars. These two were worked with Frasier Crane and Roz Doyle at the KACL radio station in the original Frasier , with Bulldog hosting the Gonzo Sports Show and Gil hosting Restaurant Beat. Here’s what Grammer said about Butler and Hibbert’s return in a statement (via Deadline ): Dan Butler and Edward Hibbert have made an indelible contribution to television, and I am overjoyed to welcome them back to Frasier and for the opportunity to work together once again.
Bulldog and Gil are the now the fourth and fifth actors from the original Frasier to come back the revival, since let’s not forget that Bebe Neuwirth reprised Lilith Sternin, Fraser’s ex-wife and Freddy’s mother, in the Season 1 episode “Freddy’s Birthday.” While I’m still hoping that some Cheers .
