john lithgow as niles's older male lover...but he falls for frasier instead
GOOD. I’m imagining this exactly like his character on Trial & Error, except he’s also very well respected in this psychiatric community and, you know, has never been accused of murder.
(Honestly the idea that John Lithgow was never on Frasier is such a weird concept to me so I googled it, and a) he was, but only as a caller, and b) he was offered the part of Frasier when the character first appeared on Cheers and I’ll never be the same having heard that.)
