Fans of Frasier, the popular Cheers classic television spinoff series, know well that Kelsey Grammer's Frasier Crane character did not get along with his father's Jack Russell Terrier pup, EddieMoose (December 24, 1990 – June 22, 2006) was a wire-hair Jack Russell Terrier who portrayed Eddie Crane on the American television sitcom Frasier.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Moose_(dog)
Although Kelsey Grammer and the rest of the human ensemble immediately come to mind when talking about Frasier, the show wouldn't be the same without Eddie. However, the show dog playing Eddie wasn't the most liked member of the cast, and in turn, he did not get on well with his co-stars either.
Moose, the celebrity Jack Russell Terrier most famous for his role as Eddie on the television sitcom Frasier, earned around $10,000 per episode, for a net worth of approximately $3.2 million.
'Eddie' Was Played by Moose and Enzo
Moose won the role on Frasier after only six months of training. Moose's ability to fix Kelsey Grammer with a long stare became a running gag on the show. When Moose had to lick his co-stars, however, things like sardine oil were applied to the actors' faces.
David Hyde Pierce studied classical piano before becoming an actor. When you see Niles playing on Frasier, you can see he's really playing!
Maris Crane is Niles Crane's wife for much of the series, though she is never fully seen onscreen (much like Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, on Cheers). She is the most notable of the show's never-seen characters, and often the subject of many jokes. Her family is not revealed on the series.
Eddie was played by two dogs during the run: first by Moose, and then by Moose's son Enzo, who first appeared as a stunt double. Eddie is known for responding to Martin and Daphne with human-like understanding, but often seems to taunt Frasier.

Frasier Crane, an alumnus of Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, and Oxford University, debuted in the two-part episode "Rebound" (1984), the premiere of Cheers season three (1984–85), as a psychiatrist to help bartender Sam Malone recover from a brief return to alcoholism and also cope with his breakup from ...
The majority of Kelsey Grammer's wealth comes from his time on the hit NBC show Frasier. For the final two seasons of the show, Grammer was reportedly paid $1.6 million per episode for each 24-episode season. At the time, that price tag set the record for the highest-paid TV actor of all time.
One member of Frasier's cast received more fan mail than anyone else: Eddie the dog!
The snobbish Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) graced television in the '90s with his Armani suits and luxury apartment in his self-titled series, Frasier, indicating he was extremely wealthy.
John Lithgow turned down the part of Frasier Crane in 'Cheers' when he was going through a “snobbish” phase.
Also like his brother, Niles is highly intelligent. His IQ is 156, well over the Mensa threshold, and much higher than Frasier's (129).
When sportscaster Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe is called into a meeting with management, Frasier assumes the rumor is true and accidentally reveals it to him. As a result, Bulldog quits the station while Frasier learns that his job was actually safe.
The cast of Frasier were notably close. Grammer calls Pierce the brother he never had. Along with the late John Mahoney, who played their dad, Martin, Pierce is godfather to Leeves's son.

The scrappy dog known as Eddie on TV's “Frasier” has died. The 16-year-old Jack Russell terrier, whose real name was Moose, passed away of old age Thursday at the Los Angeles home of trainer Mathilde Halberg, Halberg told People magazine.
But Grammer notes that Eddie was already recast during the show's run -- Moose played him from 1993 to 2000 before his son Enzo took over until the show ended in 2004.
The baby that Niles and Daphne have at the end of the show is not a result of a real life pregnancy of Jane Leeves, the actress who plays Daphne. However, she was pregnant earlier in the show. In season 8 the actress got pregnant and it was simply written into the show as a weight gain.
In the final season of Cheers, Lilith has an affair with another man and leaves Frasier. The affair later unravels and Lilith returns, seeking reconciliation with Frasier.
This was primarily because they didn't want viewers to think that Frasier was simply riffing off with what Cheers did with Vera, Norm's (George Wendt) wife, who was often mentioned but never made it on screen. They planned on debuting Maris in episode 3, but the gag became too funny that they stuck with it.
