1157: Kelsey Grammer | Channeling Grief into Artistic Authenticity

That's where Paramount used to have its offices. They were owned by the Gulf and Western Company at the time. So he went, it's called the Gulf and Western Building. So I went upstairs and they handed me these sides, bits of a scene. And I read them and I went and visited my buddy Stanley. And Stan said, what do you think of this thing?

And an intellectual guy who was completely in the thrall of love, surrender to it, complete surrender to it, where his own identity was lost as a result.

And that is what has defined him, that ability to love deeply, wholly, in an instant, and be mistaken, and make a mistake, and watching him unravel. Because watching Fraser unravel is what's been fun. Watching him not be in a relationship was what makes him fun.

I'm not sure. I always try to encourage them. I never say that you're on a bad path because it's the best thing in the world. It's just not necessarily going to lead to riches or anything else like that. But it's a beautiful way to spend one's life and one's career as an avocation and vocation at the same time. But I always tell them, if you want to be an actor, act. Go act somewhere.

Once you're doing good, they're fine. Why would I give you 10% at this point? But that's really important. It means you've got to get in the game. You've got to go to New York or go where you're going to go. Any town has a way to find somewhere to act. Volunteer to play. Be a fireman and go do a play at night. Whatever you have to do, get through it. I did demolition works, construction work.
