Nathan Lane in Frasier

For Mel - Nathan Lane's Emmy-nominated appearance as "Phil" in Season 2 of Frasier. The episode is titled "Fool Me Once, Shame on You, Fool Me Twice...".

I didn't include it here but he does actually appear at the start of the episode for about 2 seconds walking across camera at the point where Frasier's briefcase is stolen.

They were also both in "Teachers Pet" - Nathan Lane as Spot(Scott) and Kelsey Grammar as Doctor Krank.

"Half the time I don't know where next month's rent is coming from and I haven't been in a solid relationship in I don't know how long!" - typical actor then! xoD

Seriously, in this, Nathan Lane looks like Eddie Izzard, without make-up & darker colored facial hair. But Lane does have much better acting abilities.

[wastingyourgum]

It's a very Izzard beard...

nathan lane voices timon in the lion king

TRUST NO ONE. Especially that LAZY BASTARD! LOL. God I love this show.

[Thomaxius]

Why did they hire so many gay actors? DHP, Frasier's boss who got fired, this guy..

Don't mean to be offensive, just wondering

[naomi13jf]

timon on the phone :):)

What a setup. An unexpected resolution to a scenario that demanded an expected unexpected resolution - if that even makes sense. In any case, well played, writers and actors.

Well, at least Frasier got his car and briefcase back.

lol, I thought Phil was gonna pull a fast one on Frasier. I was like, "No, don't let him use the phone!" Turns out it wasn't the phone he had to worry about, lol.

Nathan Lane is fantastic!

"Oh, my God, it's you!!"

[lukerr87]

Nathan Lane has the best voice ever xD

[MusicJunkie134]

I love nathan love! and he looks good with that facial hair

[andrwrhds21]

the way he says "i hope that BURNS upon your conscience!" is the most BA kelsey grammar will ever be

[carogirlyaya]

Omg it's Nathan!

Just a little fun fact- they've both played character's whose wife was played by Bebe Neuwirth.

Kelsey- Lilith and Frasier

Nathan- Morticia and Gomez (the Addams Family Musical)

i just think that's cool....

So it was Nathan Lane! I was watching the episode the other day, I was absolutely convinced it was him.
