Well this is quite the interesting choice.
"Deadline" reports that the man who made Dr. Frasier Crane famous, Kelsey Grammer, has taken a role in next year's The Expendables 3. Grammer will play the role of Bonaparte, an ex-mercenary who assists the Expendables. This was the part that Nic Cage once had before dropping out.
Now I don't know about you, but I really can't see Kelsey Grammer as an ex-merc. Really? Sideshow Bob? His persona seems too sophisticated for a role like this. Nic Cage? Absolutely. Kelsey Grammer? Ehhh not so much.
Grammer can be seen in next summer's Transformers: Age of Extinction* while The Expendables 3 releases August 15th, 2014.
*Did I say sophisticated? Well I guess if he's in the fourth Transformers film...
Between this and Harrison Ford, it seems like these movies are becoming a place for "old guy" actors to go and just have some fun with a role in a movie that no one is going to take seriously. I love it.
