John In Movie Life 10/26/2006 | 0 Comments

John was nominated for 10 SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series for Frasier from 1995-2004. He won in 2000. (edit) While starring in Frasier, John appeared an a public service announcement about parental involvement for NBC's The More You Know campaign. (edit) John Mahoney was born in 1940 in Blackpool, although his family lived in Manchester, England. His mother had to move to Blackpool to give birth to John as Manchester was being bombed at the time. After giving birth his mum moved back to Manchester where John lived for his first eighteen years, before he emigrated to the States. (edit) Provided the voices for a few characters in the 1998 film Antz. (edit) He is fond of cats. (edit)

John Mahoney: It was post war. It was very gray, very dreary. Everything was still rationed when I first saw the United States in 1951. I went over to visit my sister who was a war bride. (edit) John Mahoney: I'm a dog person, I've had dogs all my life. But you see, it's not really a dog [Moose who plays Eddie in Frasier]. It's more like a little robot. It's an actor. It displays no emotion whatsoever. I swear that dog doesn't know any of us even though we've done five seasons of Frasier. (edit) John Mahoney: [About acting] But it was just like life was waiting for me to make that decision, and when I finally made it, it just took me places I never even believed existed. (edit) John Mahoney: Actually I was born in 1940 in Blackpool because my family lived in Manchester but Manchester was being bombed. So my mother was sent away to Blackpool to have me and then went back; so I lived my first eighteen years in Manchester and then emigrated to the States when I was eighteen. (edit) John Mahoney: People say there's no trace of an accent anymore, and there isn't because I worked very hard to lose it. And the reason I did that is a British accent in America is a real status symbol. (edit)
