Kelsey Grammer, known for his roles in ‘Cheers’ and ‘Frasier,’ is starring in the historical drama ‘Young Washington,’ which follows George Washington during the French and Indian War. As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary of independence, Grammer believes that the Founding Fathers still offer a blueprint for overcoming division and preserving the American Dream.
Guidance from the Past
Grammer explained that the greatest hope for America’s future wisdom lies in the actions and words of the Founding Fathers. He urged Americans to look to them for guidance, saying, ‘We need to look to them for the guidance that they have, that we have today, to become the great nation that they dreamed of.’ Grammer emphasized that the dream of the Founding Fathers is a unifying concept that holds up for everyone, regardless of origin, and is based on the principle of equal opportunity.
When asked what one American quality he hopes never goes out of style, Grammer replied, ‘Optimism.’ He also shared his connection to Washington’s story, which dates back over 40 years, and his desire to see politicians today learn from the nation’s first president. Grammer noted that Washington was not tolerant of fools and stood up against whimsical ideas, and he hopes to see similar leadership in Washington, D.C.
