Kelsey Grammer is no stranger to legendary characters — Frasier Crane alone earned him a spot in TV history — but there’s one role that continues to move him on a deeply personal level. In a newly released emotional excerpt from The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Grammer opened up about his longstanding love for Beast, the blue-furred philosopher mutant he portrayed in X-Men: The Last Stand, Days of Future Past, The Marvels, and now, Avengers: Doomsday. In the interview, Grammer becomes visibly emotional as he reflects on what Beast means to him and how he still connects to the character's moral code and quiet strength, adding: "I feel like it's who I am."
