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.

DAVID HYDE PIERCE

David Hyde Pierce played the role of Dr. Niles Crane, Frasier's younger brother who is also in the medical field with the profession on neurology.

Pierce focused much on his career after the show's end, specifically on Broadway productions like "It's a Wonderful Life," "Children and Art," "Monty Python's Spamalot," and "Curtains," which he won a Tony Award for.

The entertainer made a bold move in 2007 by coming out as a gay man, years after speculation regarding his sexuality.

JANE LEEVES

Daphne Moon, a housekeeper and physical therapist, was beautifully portrayed by Jane Leeves. Towards the end of the series, she fell in love with Dr. Crane and eventually became his bride.
