\u2018I\u2019m very invested in the whole life of Frasier Crane. I personally was a bit misty eyed, because there\u2019s just such history there. It went great, Kelsey slipped right into the park as if he never stopped. Like riding a bike, he was Frasier again.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018The cast is just outstanding, and every one of them really stepped up and did a great job,\u2019 he continued, before hailing the Only Fools and Horses icon.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve never worked with [Nicholas] before and don\u2019t really know his work as well as everyone in the UK. He is a revelation, he is so fantastic. He is really outstanding in this part, he is truly hilarious.<\/p>\n
\u2018I really wasn\u2019t as familiar with him as I could have been, and he just bowled me over. He\u2019s just incredible.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jeff has been in charge of casting every speaking role on all three comedies, and revealed that thousands sent their tapes in to be a part of Frasier\u2019s present-day story \u2013 with more than 7,000 for just one role alone.<\/p>\n
Detailing the upcoming episodes, he described it as the \u2018third act of Frasier\u2019s story\u2019, explaining: \u2018In each iteration, it\u2019s Frasier surrounded by a colorful group of people in his life with a certain job. And this one\u2019s no different.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s going to be all new people. Kelsey Grammer is the only holdover from the last Frasier. He\u2019ll be around all new people in his life, and he\u2019ll have a different job.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018What I can tell you is, the original Frasier, the impetus of that whole story was Frasier reconnecting with his father, because they had a bad relationship and Frasier really wanted to make it work. This story, the starting point is Frasier wanting to do that with his son.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have a bad relationship and Frasier wants to be a better father, the way he wanted to be a better son in the last one.\u2019<\/p>\n
