One of the most intellectual shows that aired on television was the award-winning series "Frasier," that was but a spin-off of the '80s sitcom "Cheers."

"Frasier" was an instant hit among television watchers and ran for 11 seasons with several recognitions, including 37 Emmy Awards and holds the title for most consecutive wins for Outstanding Comedy Series.

While the storyline of the show was undoubtedly brilliant, the show's success can be highly credited to its stellar cast, who each had their own nominations and awards. Here's what they've been up to.
