It sounds like he’s doing all right, luckily. Often when people have a relatively mild heart attack at a young(ish) age like Grammer, it encourages them to become really proactive about their heart health, and ends up being a great turning point in their lives, instead of something really terrible. Hopefully that’ll be the case here.

Grammer’s Fox sitcom Back to You was canceled after just one low-rated season. He’s been added to the cast of an upcoming ABC show that looks somewhat better.

The briefly unemployed and universally castable Kelsey Grammer, coming off just one season on Fox’s low-rated Back to You, has snatched up another prime-time gig, this time starring in an ABC comedy pilot.

Roman’s Empire centers on a young guy who gets dumped by his girlfriend but can’t seem to extricate himself from her overbearing billionaire family, the Prettys—in particular, from the clan’s eccentric patriarch, played by Grammer.

The sitcom is based on the same named British series and began production over the holiday weekend. Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst Films produces the pilot.

Clearly Grammer clearly has a lot on his plate, and it looks like his career could very well be picking up again. Hopefully he’ll be able to get his health back on track and star in another good show.
