Beloved actor Nicholas Lyndhurst is making a triumphant return to television, and this time he’s poised to captivate audiences worldwide. Best known for his iconic role as Rodney Trotter in the timeless comedy series Only Fools and Horses, Lyndhurst is set to grace our screens once again in the highly anticipated reboot of the acclaimed US sitcom Frasier. The excitement surrounding his casting has reached new heights as his co-star, the talented Kelsey Grammer, has expressed utmost admiration for Lyndhurst’s exceptional acting prowess.
Grammer, who previously collaborated with Lyndhurst, couldn’t contain his praise for the gifted comedy actor, stating, “I warned them in America. I said, ‘Wait until this guy gets here. You’ll be doing a scene with him and suddenly you realize he’s just run off with it. He’s an extraordinary actor, a dear friend. And I am so pleased he’s part of it. I adore him, and he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever worked with.'”
Lyndhurst has been entrusted with the role of Alan, a witty university professor and close friend of Frasier in the reboot. This exciting opportunity marks a significant milestone in his career, potentially catapulting him into the realm of Hollywood superstardom. The new series, set to premiere later this year on the streaming service Paramount+, promises to bring back the beloved characters and charm that made Frasier an enduring success.
