Kelsey Grammer on The Beast, Frasier, Sideshow Bob, and Bernadette

Iconic actor Kelsey Grammer joins Arroyo Grande for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation that spans comedy, tragedy, faith, and endurance. From the origins of Beast in the Marvel universe to the enduring appeal of Frasier Crane and the surprising backstory behind Sideshow Bob, Grammer reflects on the roles that defined his career and the life experiences that shaped the man behind them.

In one of his most candid interviews, Grammer opens up about profound loss, addiction, recovery, and how faith sustained him through unimaginable grief. He also discusses producing the new faith-filled musical Bernadette, fatherhood later in life, and why he believes accountability, forgiveness, and hope still matter.

This episode goes far beyond nostalgia. It’s a conversation about resilience, purpose, and what it means to keep returning—again and again—to what is good, true, and beautiful.
