===Notes=== The main cast remained unchanged for all 11 years.{{r|mcfadden}} When the series ended in 2004, Grammer had portrayed the character of Frasier Crane for a total of 20 years, including his nine seasons on ''Cheers'' plus a one-time performance as the character on the series ''[[Wings (1990 TV series)|Wings]]'', which earned Grammer an Emmy nomination. At the time, he tied [[James Arness]]' portrayal of [[Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke)|Matt Dillon]] on ''[[Gunsmoke]]'' for the longest-running character on American primetime television.<ref name=indyheart /> The record has since been surpassed in animation by the voice cast of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', and in live action by [[Richard Belzer]]'s portrayal of [[John Munch]] and [[Mariska Hargitay]]'s portrayal of [[Olivia Benson]] (both on ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'', among several other series). Grammer was briefly the highest-paid television actor in the United States for his portrayal of Frasier, while Jane Leeves was the highest-paid British actress.<ref name="indyheart">{{cite news|last=Gorman |first=Steve |title=Kelsey Grammer has heart attack |work=The Independent |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/kelsey-grammer--has-heart-attack-838970.html |date=June 3, 2008 |access-date=February 20, 2009 |location=London |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100227095325/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/kelsey-grammer--has-heart-attack-838970.html |archive-date=February 27, 2010 }}</ref><ref name="bbcNewsmakers">{{cite news |last=Frost |first=Caroline |title=Frasier: Goodnight Seattle... |date=January 24, 2003 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/uk/2000/newsmakers/2691735.stm |access-date=February 20, 2009 |work=BBC News |archive-date=November 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108050929/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/uk/2000/newsmakers/2691735.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> In addition to those of the ensemble, additional story lines included characters from Frasier's former incarnation on ''Cheers'', such as his ex-wife [[Lilith Sternin]], played by [[Bebe Neuwirth]], and their son, Frederick, played by [[Trevor Einhorn]].
