Update 1: Kelsey Grammer Hospitalized Again Due To Health Problems

The actor who portrayed the lovable psychiatrist Dr. Fraiser Crane, Kelsey Grammer, was hospitalized again after feeling faint on Sunday. He has checked into a hospital in New York.

His spokesman Stan Rosenfield confirmed the news and he said that Kelsey Grammer will be monitored overnight.

Last month, on June 2, the 53-year-old actor suffered a mild heart attack while he was on vacation in Hawaii with his family. He was taken to the local Kona Community Hospital before being flown by chopper to a Honolulu hospital for treatment. He was released four days later.

Kelsey Grammer is best known for his role as shrink Dr. Frasier Crane. He played the sherry-swilling shrink for 20 years. Initially, he co-stared in NBC’s comedy hit "Cheers” (nine years), but later got his own spin-off series. His portrayal of Frasier has brought him multiple Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and a SAG Award.

The 20 years psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane survived on the small screen tied the record for the longest-running role portrayed by an actor in a prime time show with James Arness’ Marshall Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke” (1955 to 1975). Grammer also worked as a television producer, director, writer, and a voice artist.

His health problems have started few weeks after the Fox network canceled his new show, "Back to You." The series was produced for only one season.

In an interview with People magazine, Kelsey Grammer admitted that his health problems could be related to the cancellation of the show. "It was a very stressful time for me," he said.

However, Grammer said he is feeling fine. The actor is currently involved in a promotion campaign of his new movie, “Swing Vote”. The movie is scheduled to be released on August 1 and Kelsey Grammer plays the role of the Republican President Andrew Boone.

His rep has denied earlier reports, which said that the actor suffered from irregular heartbeats. He made it very clear that Kelsey Grammer's condition is not life-threatening.

However, Kelsey Grammer has decided to skip some scheduled TV appearances. He was scheduled to appear at Late Night With Conan O'Brien and Live With Regis and Kelly.
