I love David Hyde Pierce. I actually met him when he was visiting our little village in Quebec many years ago. I was his waitress and he was extremely pleasant funny and gracious. I think he was by far the funniest one, and had the best lines on Frasier. Can’t imagine the show without him. But I admire that he only wants to take roles that speak to him. I hope we see him again, however, as he’s such a pleasure to watch. Pure entertainment.

I actually know David. Ironically, He was a camp counselor of mine years ago. Terrific guy. Extremely funny and talented. Brilliant pianist

[diannes]

I fell in love with him on Frasier, and will watch him every chance I get. I’m glad he’s busy doing what he loves, and is happy.

I've been a big fan of David Hyde Pierce since the Frasier days. He's such a talented actor, performer, and just seems like an all-around fascinating person. I'm glad to see he's doing well in theater, voice acting, and other endeavors.

[adamskiroo]

The title needs to be changed. Doesn't seem fair

[captainfunkyfish]

Always loved him so much in Fraiser, glad he just switched to theatre and has been thriving since

[geraldineclarke]

Back when I was an animation producer, I cast David a lot. He was always a delight no matter what weird animated character was thrown at him. When Spamalot opened, three of my best voice-over actors, Pierce, Curry and Azaria, were suddenly unavailable. It was a difficult time.

David Hyde pierce also voiced Cecil the brother of sideshow Bob the Simpsons. Kelsey grammar voiced sideshow Bob.

I'm so glad I clicked on this. I desperately needed to hear that David's doing well in that hell hole called Hollywood...

[bruceeggleston]

He's still working just not in tv so saying Hollywood didn't want him was click bait theater is his passion that's where he got noticed I'm sure he would of been back on the show if he wants to good 2 know where he is so thanks for that 😊

[shendaraalshedir]

Wonderful actor, he stole alot of scenes on Frasier! Also nice to hear he & his husband are still married, many happy decades to come. I hope we will see him on tv again soon. Wishing David all the best with many thanks for his enjoyable performances over the decades!👍🏻😄🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

[disney]

Thanks for mentioning his vocal role in the underrated Disney masterpiece that is Treasure Planet.

[pandanarkystudios]

It's amazing how many iconic voices were involved in Frasier

[sajohnmello]

I don’t even need to see this video to know it’s click bait. This actor is a legend and decides on his own what roles he wants to take.

[samf.s.]

Thank you for acknowledging that the reason behind not seeing him much is his own selectiveness towards projects he's propositioned to take on.

[CaptnRedWolf]

He's one of my favorite actors. I love him so much. He's such a talented actor.

[LillikoiSeed]

The first film I saw David Hyde Pierce in after Frasier, was The Perfect Host. Terrific movie; critics be damned.

[matthewdrummond]

Misleading title but that's not surprising 🙄

[langolier]

The title makes absolutely no sense. It makes me dislike the video because of it.

[kellidinit]

This is total crap. He’s worked plenty. Just watched an interview with him and es been steadily working. 😂😂😂
