Kelsey Grammer stars as Chicago's mayor in new Starz series 'Boss'
Kelsey Grammer in "Boss"
While he carries himself with the grace and gravitas of a Shakespearean actor, Kelsey Grammer is best known for his comedy roles — everything from Dr. Frasier Crane to the animated “Simpsons” foil, Sideshow Bob.
After two failed post-“Frasier” sitcoms, Grammer, 56, is flexing his dramatic muscles for “Boss,” his new Starz drama, in which he plays Tom Kane, a stern, belligerent and brutally effective Chicago mayor who holds a deadly secret. And unlike his last two series, which never made it past their first season, Starz has already renewed “Boss” for a second season — even before the show makes its premiere Friday night.
