Accomplished stage and screen actor John Mahoney, best known for his role in long-running sitcom Frasier<\/em>, passed away this week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Mahoney, an English-born immigrant to the United States, had his first major screen role in Barry Levinson’s Tin Men<\/em>, following a stint in the Army as well as an English teacher. A number of supporting roles in successful films ensued, including as Lothario college professor in Moonstruck, the father of the main character in Say Anything…<\/em>, and as a lobby group adviser in The American President<\/em>, opposite Annette Benning and Michael Douglas. Mahoney also had two memorable roles in films by the Coen Brothers, The Hudsucker Proxy<\/em> and the incredible Barton Fink<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, it was for his recurring role of Martin Crane, a retired police detective in Seattle living with his neurotic sons Frasier and Niles in the sitcom Frasier<\/em> for which Mahoney is best remembered. The show ran between 1994 and 2004, and held a record Emmy wins until recently being eclipsed by Game of Thrones<\/em>. For his role, Mahoney received a number of accolades including two Golden Globe nominations throughout the show’s run.<\/p>\n

With his distinctive voice, Mahoney lent his tones to the field of animation, having roles in Disney’s Atlantis<\/em> and its sequel, as well as Brad Bird’s 1999 classic The Iron Giant<\/em>. He also had a role in an episode of The Simpsons<\/em>, reuniting him briefly with Frasier<\/em> co-stars Kelsey Grammar and David Hyde Pierce. Appearances on television continued post-Frasier<\/em>, with guest roles on ER, Burn Notice<\/em> and In Treatment<\/em> keeping him in the public eye, while a number of later stage roles also beckoned.<\/p>\n

John Mahoney had been in hospice care following cancer treatment when he passed, aged 77, from complications arising from routine surgery. John Mahoney passed away on February 4th.<\/p>\n
