Kelsey Grammer, Emmy-Award Winning Actor, Suffers Mild Heart Attack

Kelsey Grammer, best known from his long-running sitcom "Frasier," suffered a mild heart attack during the weekend in Hawaii.

Grammer's heart attack came three weeks after finding out that his new sitcom "Back to You" was canceled after one season.

Grammer, 53, experienced chest pains on Saturday morning while paddle-boarding with his wife, Camille, off the Kona coast of Hawaii's Big Island.

Grammer is now resting and will be released from the hospital early this week, according to spokesman Stan Rosenfield.

Despite "Back to You" being canceled, Grammer was recently cast in a new comedy pilot for ABC titled "Roman's Empire" as the overbearing head of a wealthy family.

For 20 years, Grammer played psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane for 20 years on NBC, first as a supporting actor on the hit show "Cheers" and the last 11 years as the star of his own sitcom "Frasier".

Grammer's character Frasier Crane, which once made Grammer the highest-paid U.S. TV actor, tied the record for the longest-running role portrayed by a single actor in prime time.

Grammer's daughter, Spencer, is an actress on the soap opera As the World Turns and the ABC Family show Greek.
