Making sideshow Bob a cultured intellectual was a stroke of genius from the writers

Kelsey Grammar has the voice of a cigar drinking a fine whisky in front of a fire.

Kelsey Grammer has one of those great oratorial voices. When he was cast as "the Beast" in the old X-men movies he was exactly how I pictured Hank McCoy to be.

I admire Kelsey for being able to continue with his passion and entertain us at the same time despite the trauma he's endured in his life

Something you dont get on american talk shows: a guest speaking for nearly 2 full minutes without interruption

I loved it when they brought in David Hyde Pierce to voice Bob's brother, Cecil.

I love Kelsey Grammer, he's appeared in so many of my different fandoms: Simpsons, Star Trek, Transformers, X-Men, and Expendables.

I hope he keeps voicing him, Bob is by far one of the best characters in the entirety of The Simpsons

[MrBond]

Kelsey Grammer, Sir David Attenborough and Stephen Fry, voices I could listen to all day.

And there I was thinking Sideshow Bob was just Kelsey Grammer speaking normally

[qasimmir]

Bart: If only we knew what he was thinking right now.

Sideshow Bob’s mind: I hope they still make that shampoo I like.

I really, really miss Frasier. And Niles. And Eddie. And...everyone else.

EDIT: "How can we, men, use sex to get what we want?! Sex is what we want!!" Golden.
Or "Pump up the volume and call me Kitty....all talk, all night, all naked" :D

He's one of the last stars who can truly do a mid-Atlantic accent. It makes everything he does that bit better

[JustNess]

Didn't realize Kelsey was such a great story teller. Loved listening to this story! :)

[joshuacollins]

Kelsey Grammar and John Lithgow have the best / most iconic villain voices for animated characters.

*Watching the legend that is Kelsey Grammer*
*camera zooms out*
“Holy dear God almighty!!”

_"No no, that's German for 'The. Bart. The'."_

[Adamguy]

Sideshow Bob is such a magnificent villain, and at least 95% of it is Grammer's work as his voice!

[denisesevierfries]

I am a Frasier addict. And it's all this man's fault.

[windsongmoonchild]

Kelsey Grammer was the perfect voice actor for Sideshow Bob not only for his deep, haunting voice but he was also playing Fraiser a psychologist on Cheers (and later on he had a spinoff show). And they're ironic characters.

I would actually pay money to hear the entire HMS Pinafore opera singed by Kelsey Grammer
