master_q 0 Posted September 7, 2003 Stewart on "Frasier" Captains Jean-Luc Picard and Morgan Bateson are about to have a reunion of sorts. Star Trek: The Next Generation's Patrick Stewart this week filmed a guest appearance in an episode of Frasier, the Patrick Stewart Network reported. Frasier stars Emmy Award-winner and Star Trek fan Kelsey Grammer, who popped up in a cameo role as Captain Morgan Bateson in TNG's "Cause and Effect". Stewart's episode, entitled "The Doctor Is Out", will likely air towards the end of 2003, possibly during the key November sweeps ratings period, when television shows often use big-name guest stars to attract more viewers. The actor will follow in the footsteps of other Trek alumni who have appeared on Frasier, including Brent Spiner (Data), Robert Picardo (the Holodoc) and Rene Auberjonois (Odo). Frasier, a five-time winner of the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, has a number of Trek connections in addition to Grammer's turn as Morgan Bateson. In 1996, Frasier cast members joined Kate Mulgrew in a Star Trek: Voyager parody as part of Star Trek's 30th anniversary celebrations. Executive producer Dan O'Shannon co-wrote the story for Enterprise's Hugo-nominated "Carbon Creek", while former Frasier regular Dan Butler guest-starred in Voyager's "Vis a Vis". The comedy series, which is now entering its eleventh and likely final season, also features a recurring character, Noel Shempsky, who is an avid Star Trek fan. In the season ten episode "Star Mitzvah" Noel offered to help Frasier prepare his Bar Mitzvah speech in Hebrew in exchange for Scott Bakula's (Jonathan Archer) autograph. When Frasier failed to come up with the goods, Noel taught him to say the speech in Klingon instead.

master_q 0 Posted September 25, 2003 "Stewart To Come Out On 'Frasier' Next Week" Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) will appear on Kelsey Grammer's Frasier next week, more than ten years after Grammer appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation as a fellow captain, Morgan Bateson. According to press releases linked from The Patrick Stewart Network, Stewart will play the head of the Seattle Opera Guild, Alistair Braithwaite, who erroneously comes to believe that Frasier is gay and begins to court him. Over the course of the episode, "The Doctor is Out", Frasier enjoys the wealth and distinction associated with Braithwaite and ignores the likelihood that the opera director is romantically interested in him. Several Frasier characters appeared in the Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond special in 1996, and the show often pokes fun at science fiction fans. Stewart's Trek co-star Brent Spiner also appeared on Frasier earlier this year, in the episode: "Lilith Needs a Favor." Grammer's co-stars include John Mahoney, Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce and Peri Gilpin. Stewart's episode of Frasier will air next Tuesday, September 30th, on NBC at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

Thanks to Lance for this! --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/250903_02.shtml New York Post Article: COULD BE SENATOR 'FRASIER'By DON KAPLAN September 24, 2003 -- Move over Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kelsey Grammer, another Hollywood Republican, has serious political ambitions - in the Senate. Grammer, 48, who plays radio-shrink Frasier Crane on the long-running NBC comedy "Frasier," said he's interested in running for office. "I haven't laid out any plans yet, but possibly senator," Grammer said Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." Grammer, a registered Republican, is a longtime resident of California. "The truth is, I would like to get to a place where I could do the most good for the greatest number of people." Grammer said he would "probably run as a Republican" and considers himself "a centrist, but I basically believe in trying to preserve as much opportunity for the individual, as long as the individual chooses to work as hard as he can." Any run would come sometime after his show goes off the air next spring at the end of its 10th season. --NYPost http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/40578.htm Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 27, 2003 I want to see it as I love Patrick Stewart's acting, but I'm not sure I'd like to see him portray a gay man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted September 27, 2003 (edited) CJLP, have you ever seen the movie "Jeffrey"? In that movie Patrick plays a gay character, too. He does it very well, I must say He once said that this role was one of his best ones I am still very sad that I won't be able to watch Frasier Mrs. Captain Picard Edited September 27, 2003 by Mrs.Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
