Allen Kelsey Grammer (born February 20, 1955) is an American actor, director, and writer.
Grammer, who came to public attention in the classic TV sitcom Cheers, was able to successfully spin off his character Dr. Frasier Crane into a television series in its own right, named Frasier. Grammer has won a number of Emmys and Golden Globes for his work in Frasier.
Grammer has been married three times. His first marriage to dance instructor, Doreen Alderman spanned eight years, from 1982 to 1990 and produced one child, a daughter named Spencer.

The surrogate mother may be the baby's biological mother (traditional surrogacy) or she may be imp. Grammer has one additional child, a girl, Greer, who he had with hair and makeup stylist Barrie Buckner in 1992.
Grammer's life has been marked by tragedy and, as a result, occasional depression and substance abuse. In 1968, his father was murdered in the Virgin Islands; in 1975, his sister was raped and murdered after leaving a Red Lobster restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and in 1980, his twin half-brothers were killed in a shark attack. Bravely putting his personal tragedies behind him, Grammer currently seems to be optimistic and happy with his third wife and child.
Grammer's trademark smooth, deep voice makes him popular for voiceover work. He provides the voice of Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons, produces the UPN sitcom, Girlfriends, and worked as the voice of "Stinky Pete the Prospector" in Toy Story 2. Grammer sang the title theme for the Frasier TV Series.
