All that David Hyde Peres does is to go out on the stage, and he gets applause, even before he fired in the tongue of the idiot from “Pinznes Pirates”:
I am a model from the modern brigade,
I am vegetable, animal and mineral information,
I know the kings of England, and I am quoted from historical battles
From the marathon to Waterllo, for the severity
With the absence of a practical expression on his face, he wanders, all kinds of turmoil around him, is funny.
I asked, “Why do you think” less “can be funny?”
“Well, I think a lot of theater is right, more than that,” Pierce answered. “Sometimes, what is unexpected in the theater is someone less.”
“Is there a temptation to overcome?”
“Always”, he said. Remember me a wonderful line of “Frasier”, which was, “if it was less than that, think about how much it will be! “
Thanks to its 11 -year -old operation on the huge “Frasier” on TV, Pierce has confession, and he can choose his roles and choose them. It is the brigade in the movie “Pirates! The Penzance Musical”, which is a metaphor for Jazi’s jazz and classic Sullivan, was planted to New Orleans.
Pierce showed us one of dozens of Gilbert and Sullivan from his summer camp from the 1970s (“It is almost old like me”), which was also the result he used in a “Fraser” episode where he sang, Kelissi Grammer and David Ogdin Steers from “Pinzans”.
I asked, “What does Gilbert and Sullivan mean to you?”
“Well. Well, this should mean something, because it’s … I feel passionate.” “Thinking about the question, I think it is fair, it is just because it has been linked during my life for a long time.”
In the dressing room in the roundabout, the wall is covered with pictures of people who were in the dressing room before: “famous, many of them are my dear friends.” “I will ultimately be there. Traditions are very important for us. It realizes that you are part of something bigger.”

Pierce’s “Pirate” clothing room is full of gestures to the emotional touch stones that define it, including one of the most important: a picture of him talking to his father about a show he was doing, “at a time when I did not know that this was what I was going to, he had no idea of what was lying forward,” he said.
Pierce’s father and grandmother were amateur performance. “The disease passes in the family,” he said. “I was not diagnosed!”
He started to be the pianist. He still plays every day, but he decided to become an actor instead while he was at Yale University.
What brought it to the comedy? “I think it is about what I was attracted to,” Pierce said. “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, “Mary Tyler Moore” and “All in the Family”. When I was a teenager, “Monte Bethon” came to American TV on PBS, and my head was detonated.
It is impossible not to see a hint from Buster Keaton in the scene of the famous ironing plate “Frasier”:
“I want people to be able to laugh,” Pierce said.
“Why? What does this mean to you? Why is it important?”
“I think he imagined the call,” he said. “For example, the performance of a comic movie is not enjoyable for me like comic play. In a comic play, you feel the audience to call. That’s what I am. This is the place where I started. I love it.”
He has always been in that, his partner was along the way, his wife since 2008, the writer of actor Brian Hargov. They met the test, became friends, and later discovered that they were gay. Pierce said: “Brian has made me finished dinner in his apartment to do my strikes,” Pierce said.
“I used to have a tax and representative work,” Hargov said.
“This is not a metaphor; this is actually what he was doing. Tax practitioner! Then we were seeing this film, and we came. We returned to his apartment, and then, as Brian said, I have never left.”

It was in 1983. Hargov was the one who suggested moving to California, which led to Pierce as Dr. Niles Crane to be photographed alongside Kelsey Granmer in “Fraser”. Forty years, four Emmy and two tinnitus after that, chose not to restart the “freezer”. At that time he was playing the role of Julia Child’s husband, Paul, on HBO. “I was very happy with what came to me originally, and then when I managed to make options in my career and the options I made,” Pierce said. “Creative is fueled by change and diversity.”
That is why David Hyde Pierce said yes to “Pirates” – and a new opportunity to make people laugh at one of the old favorites.
For my military knowledge, although I am reserved and membranes,
He only came down to the beginning of the century.
However, in matters, vegetables, animals and minerals,
I am a model from the modern brigade!
