David Hyde Pierce

2004 Emmy Nominated: Supporting Actor, frasier

2003 Emmy Nominated: Supporting Actor, frasier

When Pierce was awarded the Yaddo Medal for Best Dramatic Arts Student on his graduation from college, everyone knew that stardom was in his future. He went on to study England and Theatre Arts at Yale alongside Jodie Foster; when Foster was casting for her 1991 movie Little Man Tate, Pierce leapt to mind and she contacted him to offer him a part. One can assume this was a welcome change from selling ties at Macy's. The same thing happened when "Frasier" was being cast: producers noticed his resemblance to the star, Kelsey Grammer, and asked him to come in for an interview. He walked out of that interview as a brand new character on the show, written specificially for him.
