David Hyde Pierce's Reason for Rejecting 'Frasier' Reboot: They Don't Need Me
David Hyde Pierce, who played Dr. Niles Crane on the original "Frasier" sitcom, revealed that he chose not to return for the Paramount+ revival due to his desire to pursue other projects. Pierce explained that he was involved in other TV shows and musicals at the time and didn't want to commit to a series. He also believed that the reboot didn't need his character, as it had successfully introduced new characters. Despite Pierce's absence, other original cast members, such as Bebe Neuwirth and Peri Gilpin, have made special appearances in the new series.
