David Hyde Pierce

Many viewers considered the early ‘90s to be the golden age for sitcoms. The show Frasier, featuring David Hyde Pierce, enjoyed a long streak of success until the finale in May of 2004, being called the “smartest show on television.”

Pierce and his co-stars look forward to their healthy share of the show’s $40 million in royalties, every year. It definitely provides a nice cushion, as they’ve found other smaller projects to be a part of since its finale.
