Heads up Alec Baldwin, there’s another actor with his eye on a political career.
The New York Post reported Sunday that Kelsey Grammer intends to run for office in the future, perhaps in New York where he now resides.
A rare conservative in Hollywood, Grammer told the paper that being an actor and a politician both require a "narcissistic personality” and “a resilient ego.”
Money doesn’t hurt either. The Post pointed out that the actor, who will play a fictional Chicago mayor on a drama called “Boss” this fall, is worth almost $100 million.
What might hurt? Four marriages and his regular appearances on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 1.
Said Grammer, “I look at my political aspirations as that last piece of my life -- where I hope to do something good for people and pay back a little."

and he had experience with the SAG and all that.
You mean Arnold? Kinky? Ventura? oh you must be thinking of Sonny Bono, he was OKAY I guess, but way too much baggage.
Ron Siler without the intellect or steely nerves. Not much left besides the gift of gab, which got us Obama last time.
You could be right. While I think the guy is a train wreck, he’s a really good actor and has provided a lot of good entertainment over the years. Frazier was one of my favorite series.
He’s already made his first campaign commercial supporting gay marriage:

Who would have ever thought Al Franken would be a senator.
That should tell all of us the state of this nation.
ROTFLMAO!
My only point was to caution never to say ever. Now, that being said; there’s no one in today’s crop, or for the forseable future that I could count on, or vote for. But I won’t go so far, as to say never ever.
That's what they say about you guys, too. I don't know if that's true, though.
Wow, it’s hard to accomplish, but her face looks more plastic than her chest.
She’s gorgeous with that face, but look up her pics without makeup. Plain looking.
Is that what $100 million gets?
Silly-Cones
And frankly he really earned the name Stinky Pete..
Why not?
The CIC is a confessed coke-n-dope head...
We watched the Frazier episodes again on DVD a while back. Pierce is soooo funny. He seems to have figured out how to play Niles from the very beginning. Some of his looks or mannerisms could crack me up with no dialog.
Sorry Kelsey, while I loved you in Fraiser, I’ve lost all respect, and have trouble watching it now that I know you cheated on your (most recent) wife...
What is it with these people? Can’t they keep it in their pants, or at the very least, wait until their divorce comes through?!?!?!

This is his most recent ex-wife, who he cheated on with a much younger woman (in her mid 20s, I believe). I think that he may have married the younger one now.

I think that his comedy style hearkens back to that of Jack Benny (and Johnny Carson had mastered it as well, a HUGE fan of Benny) who had such amazing comedy timing, that his pauses (and looks) were as funny or funnier than his lines. Benny was often at his funniest not saying anything.
He was the greatest, and I think Pierce does something similar.

I can’t tell Grammer from Grammar!
