\"KelseyGrammer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So if you were casting the next Expendables<\/strong> movie and Nic Cage turns you down for a role, who do you turn to? If you though outside of the box enough to name Kelsey Grammer, you might just have career as a casting agent in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that the former sitcom star will be joining the cast of Sly Stallone’s action actor ensemble sequel, playing “Bonaparte, an ex-mercenary who helps the Expendables in their mission.”<\/p>\n

But if Cheers<\/em>‘s and Frasier<\/em>‘s fussy psychiatrist seems like odd casting for an action film, remember that he received some strong critical reviews for his much darker turn as a political powerbroker in the Showtime series Boss<\/em>. It was the strength of that performance that led Michael Bay to cast<\/a> Grammer as a villain in the upcoming Transformers: Age Of Extinction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Filming is already underway in Bulgaria on the action sequel which is scheduled for a August 15, 2014 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
