The divorce was finalized in —the same month he married Walsh. Though Camille and Kelsey have kids together, they share no love.
Camille says co-parenting with Kelsey is horrible, claiming "He has to learn to love his kids more than he hates me. He's an ass. I can say it all night. The divorce from Grammer's first wife Doreen Alderman was fairly smooth, and little has been reported about their marriage.
But his second divorce was the most emotionally taxing. He married year-old Leigh-Anne Csuhany, who he met while attending a strip club where she was working, and after only nine months, he decided he wanted to split and annul the marriage. Claiming that Csuhany was of unsound mind, Grammer filed for custody for their unborn child; the three-months-pregnant Csuhany left the Grammer home and checked into a hotel in Malibu.
Ten days later, she was found passed out in her room, surrounded by empty pill and wine bottles and a suicide note that read "Kelsey doesn't love me. After all that, his dealings with Camille probably don't seem so bad. Grammer's been through a public battle with cocaine and alcohol. Dealing with the murder of his sister, and his feeling of being somehow responsible for it, led him to turn to alcohol to cope. Even with all his success and fortune, he still struggled with addiction. After his stint in Betty Ford, Grammer attended AA and got completely clean—but unlike most former alcoholics, Grammer has now quit AA and drinks regularly.
Grammer calls himself a reformed drinker, and says he likes having a bit of alcohol every day. He claims to be in a much better place due to his new happy marriage, and claims he has complete control over himself. Cocaine is a different story, however: Grammer says he'll never touch the drug again, knowing that it would put his life at risk.
Though he hasn't been racking up awards nominations like it was the '90s, Grammer still acts regularly—mostly in movies. He appeared as the villain in Transformers: Age of Extinction , as Beast in the X-Men franchise, and even got in on the Expendables franchise. Essentially, if you have a big-budget franchise, Grammer will be in it at some point. We're looking at you, Fast and the Furious. Grammer's latest film, Nest , is a sci-fi adventure starring Kellan Lutz —just the latest chapter in a career that's stayed consistently busy since the '80s.
See, he used to be so huge as Frasier Crane, it only seems like he's never around; in reality, Grammer's as in-demand as ever in movies, cartoons, Broadway, and behind the scenes. And who knows? He's starring in a new pilot for Amazon this season, so he might even go back to dominating our small screens again.

The rest is known to anyone who has idled with a TV remote any time in the past 10 years. Frasier smartened up his act, moved back home to his family and launched a whole new career for himself as a radio personality, dispensing the same cutting advice over the airwaves he had previously reserved for patients within the confines of his consulting studio.
He traded the East Coast for the West, Boston for Seattle, the brahmin stuffiness of Beantown for the up-and-coming, free-wheeling capital of Microsoft, lattes and grunge. Instead of sparring with his fellow grouches at the bar, he had a new cast of characters to contend with: notably his neurotic, uptight, snobbish brother Niles, their curmudgeonly dad Martin, and a succession of women who would attract the off-kilter romantic attentions of one - sometimes more than one - of them at any given moment.
Much of the success of Frasier , which, like Cheers , lasted 11 seasons, must be attributed to the on-screen chemistry binding Grammer to his co-star David Hyde Pierce as Niles. Their barbs have reliably provided the show's funniest one-liners; both actors developed an instinctive understanding for the maddening similarities and subtle divergences between their characters.
But Grammer also deserves praise in his own right for keeping his character fresh and unpredictable over what has been an extraordinarily long haul. The only other television part to last as long was Marshal Dillon on Gunsmoke , played by James Arness from to Frasier has always been a slick confection, its writing competent and well oiled but hardly radical or surprising.
Despite its reputation in the States as a highbrow show, because of the long words and fancy cultural references, it has, for the most part, acted as a kind of televisual comfort food, engaging but perfectly bland. To the extent the show has had an edge - a hint of something darker, more brooding, more psychologically twisted - it has largely been down to Grammer, whose sunny demeanour belies an unmistakable hint of demons lurking beneath.
That dark edge is drawn directly from his life, whose setbacks and bereavements have been so colossal and so frequent that if anyone tried to work them up into a television series or a movie script, the story would fail because no audience could be expected to believe them. Grammer's parents split up when he was two, forcing him to leave the Virgin Islands, where he was born, and accompany his mother to a succession of homes in Florida and New Jersey.
When he was 12, the father he had barely got to know was killed in a random shooting. A year later, the grandfather who had raised him dropped dead without warning. When Grammer was 20, his sister was abducted outside a Red Lobster restaurant in Colorado, raped and stabbed to death.
A few years later, his two half-brothers drowned in a scuba diving accident off their native island of St Thomas. Nobody could reasonably be expected to withstand such an onslaught of appalling luck, and Grammer has spent much of his adult life either flirting with or seeking to resist the lure of alcohol and drugs.
Grammer mock-solemnly lowers his voice. Grammer knows the islands. After his parents divorced, his mother took him to Florida, where the Like Father production docked to shoot land scenes. While the cast and crew were in Miami late last summer, they learned they were in the direct path of Hurricane Irma. Grammer voted the film stay put.
These things have kind of a way of changing course, having grown up there all those years. But they got panicky and moved us to Orlando — and then, of course, it scored a direct hit on Orlando. Otherwise, the finished film proceeded as planned.
