Does Noel ever comment that Frasier looks like Captain Bateson?
In the series Frasier, Noel Shempsky is a huge Star Trek fan. Now, the character of Frasier character is played by Kelsey Grammer, who also played Captain Bateson in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'Cause and Effect':
As I've mentioned above, these two characters are played by the same actor. Although in Frasier Dr Crane isn't an actor (and isn't playing Kelsey Grammer), surely Noel would still see a huge resemblance.
My question is then: does Noel ever comment that Dr Crane looks a lot like Captain Bateson?
Best Answer
As someone who has the full Frasier on DVD, and has watched it through several times (currently on series 10 of about run 6), I can say :
No, he doesn't mention it at any point
As cde mentions in the comments, he also didn't notice the similarity when Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner were in Frasier as well, so maybe a TOS purest (although he wanted Scott Backula's autograph in Star Mitzvah so who knows).
