This transition occurs after his policeman father, Martin, is shot in the hip while on duty. In Seattle, Frasier lives with his father and interacts with his competitive, high-brow brother Niles, his brazen radio producer Roz, and others. The show features a cast including Kelsey Grammer, Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce, and Peri Gilpin. Throughout its run, the series became known for its opera references and tossed salads.
