LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kelsey Grammer, best known from his long-running sitcom "Frasier," suffered a mild heart attack during the weekend in Hawaii, three weeks after his latest show was canceled, his publicist said on Monday.
Grammer, 53, "experienced symptoms" on Saturday morning while paddle-boarding with his wife, Camille, at their second home in Hawaii. He was immediately taken to an area hospital, where "it was determined that he had a mild heart attack," spokesman Stan Rosenfield said in a statement.
Rosenfield said the actor was now resting and will be released from the hospital early this week.
Grammer's heart attack came three weeks after he learned that his latest show, the Fox network comedy "Back to You," in which he played a television news anchorman, was being canceled after one season on the air.
Grammer was recently cast in a new comedy pilot for ABC titled "Roman's Empire."
Grammer gained fame playing the snooty psychiatrist Frasier Crane for 20 years on NBC, first as a supporting player on the NBC comedy hit "Cheers" and later as the star of his own spinoff series, "Frasier."
