John Mahoney was such a class act. Absolutely incomparable in Frasier. I can’t find the clip, but here’s the dialogue from a moment that always has me choked up. It could’ve been corny, but in Mahoney’s hands it felt deep and real. RIP pic.twitter.com/psavvUDtxi

John Mahoney was a lovely man. His Martin Crane was FRASIER's moral center; his cranky decency and bewildered love for his two improbable sons was hilarious one minute, heartbreaking the next, and you never caught him acting. It was a privilege and a joy to write for him. pic.twitter.com/Fs7RvNjxOj
