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 won a number of Emmys and Golden Globes for his work in Frasier. He was the first American actor to ever be nominated for multiple Emmy awards for portraying the same character on three different television shows (Cheers, Frasier, and Wings). His US$1.6 million per episode salary for Frasier was the highest in the history of American television at the time and his 20-year run playing Dr. Frasier Crane ties a record set by James Arness who played Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke from 1955 to 1975.
