Jack Cutmore-Scott (“Kingsman: The Secret Service,” “Deception”) has been tapped to play Freddy Crane, the charming and handsome fireman son of Kelsey Grammer’s Frasier Crane, in the upcoming sequel series to the classic NBC sitcom.
The new series sees Frasier off to a different city with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfil. As a result, none of the other regulars from the “Frasier” series will be joining Grammer in the revival.
Freddy rejected following in his father’s footsteps and never looked back until now when recent troubles have left him with no one to turn to in his life. If they can overcome past differences, the pair may soon be able to help each other.
Freddy appeared in “Cheers” and “Frasier” played by various baby and child actor guest stars, but was primarily out of the picture as he lived in Boston with his mother Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth).
British actor Nicholas Lyndhurst is also joining the “Frasier” revival as Alan Cornwall, a university professor who is an old college friend of Frasier.
The new incarnation of “Frasier” comes from writers Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. Cutmore-Scott will next be seen in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Hulu’s “Career Opportunities in Murder & Mayhem”.
