Kelsey Grammer talks 'Frasier' reboot, new film 'Charming the Hearts of Men'
The actor is currently starring in the indie dramedy 'Charming the Hearts of Men,' which takes place in the politically charged ‘60s.
Award-winning actor, producer and director Kelsey Grammer will be at the helm of a new American History series on Fox Nation debuting on May 1.
In his hosting duties for "Kelsey Grammer’s Historic Battles for America," the well-known "Cheers" and "Frasier" actor will take viewers on an inside look at eight key battles spanning the American Revolution, the Texas Revolution, the Civil War, and the American Indian Wars that left indelible marks on the nation.
The chronological eight-part series will begin with three episodes on battles during the Revolutionary War, including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Battle of Brooklyn, and the Battle of Yorktown. Grammer will then shift to an analysis of the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution, followed by three episodes on the American Civil War, highlighting the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, and the Siege of Vicksburg. The actor will conclude the series with a spotlight on the American Indian Wars’ Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Grammer will serve as a guide for the audience during each close look at the turning point battles, revealing the strategies that led to victory or defeat, the inner workings of those who fought it, the decisions that led to battle, as well as a closer look at the long-term consequences of each conflict.

While most associate Grammer with the beloved television character Dr. Frasier Crane, who he portrayed for over two decades on both "Cheers" and "Frasier," the actor has also made waves on Broadway and in film. His illustrious and eclectic career has won him one Tony, six Emmys, three Golden Globes and a SAG Award.
