The show crushed it with sharp writing, snagging five straight Emmys for top comedy, thanks to the core crew, David Hyde Pierce as nerdy brother. Niles, Jane Lease as quirky nurse Daphne, and Perry Gilpin as sassy producer Roz. Former kept rolling with voice gigs in Anastasia and The Simpsons, action flicks like X-Men, even Tony nods on Broadway. Pierce grabbed four Emmys too, plus a Tony for Curtains, and voice characters in a bug's life in Hellboy. Leaves lit up hot in Cleveland. Gilpin hit shows like Why Women Kill, while Mahoney's shown in films like Say Anything before passing in 2018, from Bro Cancer.
