\nDavid Hyde Pierce has no plans to reprise Dr. Niles Crane on the new Frasier<\/em> revival despite the acclaim he received for his portrayal on the original NBC sitcom.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\nPierce, 64, who won four Emmy Awards for his putting his unique and comical spin on the role, explained his reasoning during an interview with the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a>, stating he “never really wanted to go back.”\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n“It\u2019s not like I said, ‘Oh, I don\u2019t ever want to do that again.’ I loved every moment. It was that I wanted to do other things,” said Pierce, who currently stars in Max’s Julia <\/em>as Paul Child, Julia Child’s husband.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAnd when we got into real talks about the reboot, I had just started on the Julia<\/em> TV show and was working on a musical and going to do another musical, not this one. And I just thought, ‘I don\u2019t want to be committed to a show and not be able to do stuff like this,'” he recalled. “And I also thought, ‘They don\u2019t actually need me.’ Frasier<\/em> has moved on to a new world. They have new characters. And I think I\u2019m right. It\u2019s doing great. And the new people they have are great.”\n<\/p>\n

\nPierce previously discussed his experiences working on the original Frasier<\/em> with PEOPLE in 2022, describing that period of success in 1993 as a “complicated time.”\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n“We were smack in the middle of the AIDS crisis, and being gay, being out, being not out, were questions that I didn\u2019t have to answer in New York, because in theater, no one cared,” the seasoned stage actor explained. “It took me a while to figure out how to just be me with all this attention and celebrity. I tried to thread that needle for a long time in terms of wanting to live my life and live it openly and not be forced to say anything in particular.”\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n“I was doing an interview with\u00a0TV Guide,<\/em>\u00a0and they [asked], ‘Are you dating someone?’ I said, ‘My life is an open book. Just don\u2019t expect me to read it to you,'” he continued. “I thought that kind of said it all. I thought that was enough. Now looking back, I think I tried to not have to make speeches, but there are things more important than what I was trying to accomplish. Ultimately, when I knew I was coming back to the theater [after\u00a0Frasier<\/em>\u00a0ended], I started talking very publicly about [my partner] Brian.”\n<\/p>\n

\nParamount+’s Frasier <\/em>reboot, which arrives nearly 30 years after the debut of the 1993 series<\/a>, sees Kelsey Grammer return as the beloved bougie psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane, who moves from Seattle back to Boston to be closer to his grown-up son Frederick a.k.a. Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott). The cast is rounded out by new additions, including Nicholas Lyndhurst, Toks Olagundoye and Jess Salgueiro.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\nPierce aside, many of the original cast will not return, including\u00a0John Mahoney, who portrayed Frasier\u2019s father Martin and died\u00a0at the age of 77 in 2018.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Bebe Neuwirth, who played Frasier\u2019s ex Dr. Lilith Sternin on Cheers <\/em>and\u00a0<\/em>reprised her role several times on the original\u00a0Frasier<\/em>, as well as Peri Gilpin, who portrayed Frasier\u2019s radio show producer, have already popped up as guest stars this season.\n<\/p>\n

\nLilith, for her part, reconnected with Frasier for their son Freddy\u2019s birthday party, which made for a tense yet comical reunion that reminded viewers that whenever Neuwirth and Grammer are onscreen together, laugher follows.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s always a pleasure and a great time visiting Lilith and\u00a0Frasier,” Neuwirth exclusively told PEOPLE of the reunion in November. “So fun to be back in that wonderful character.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
