For what he had to work with in down Periscope, I thought Kelsey did a pretty good job, as he does with most every part.He says that he does a number of different impersonations on Frasier, including Jack Benny and Bette Davis.
Follow Ups:
It's nice that he admits it steals...but who is the real Kelsey Grammer, Ac-torrrrrr? "15 Minutes" was a good example for his reel, and to show he could...ahem...act seriously, meaning characterization.To me, mugging to the camera isn't acting...it's acting if one had a gun to one's head. It's not a crime to do it, but it isn't something to "write home about" and enter into the pantheon of film classics..."Instant Classics", maybe.
"Down Periscope" is a good example of one of those films that includes alot of extremes...string enough of them together with cast straight from the "C" Actor's List, and one has a good shot at making a film with a reasonable shot at making some money.
The tip off to a cast like this is Tim Curry as the Arch Villian...now there was another good example of mugging but better mugging than Grammer could muster up with an occasional knowing leer thrown in.
I still think he's going to pick the pile of Tv money...it's just easier and will give him more recreational time.
