| - In "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater", Brian forces Peter to watch an episode of Frasier in an attempt to teach him how to act with class. Niles and Frasier appear when Peter doubts Meg's claim of modeling in "This Little Piggy", claiming that her only chance of fame would have been as the dog on Frasier.
- Performer(s) Appeared in Niles Crane, M.D., Ph.D., A.P.A., Ed.D is a fictional character on the American sitcom Frasier, a spin-off of the popular show Cheers. He is the younger brother of Dr. Frasier Crane, the son of Det. Martin Crane and Dr. Hester Crane, husband of Daphne Moon, ex-husband of Maris Crane and Dr. Melinda Karnofsky, former brother-in-law to Nanette Guzman and Dr. Lilith Sternin, and uncle to Frederick Crane. While it had originally been intended that Frasier be an only child, Pierce was hired because Frasier producers saw his headshot and commented on how much he looked like a young Kelsey Grammer. Unlike Frasier, part of whose background comes from Cheers, Niles' background is established over the course of Frasier. Pierce described Niles as "what Frasier would be if he had never gone to Boston and never been exposed to the people at Cheers."
- Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1957, to Hester Crane, a psychiatrist, and Martin Crane, a police detective. Although the exact date of Niles' birth is never revealed, he's roughly two years younger than Frasier. Like Frasier, Niles was named for one of his mother's lab rats (Are you Being Served). Also like Frasier, Niles was an unusually sensitive child when growing up, and a frequent target for bullies. As a result, he was quite close to his older brother, and at the same time fiercely competitive with him. Like Frasier, Niles also preferred fine arts, music, and intellectual pursuits to activities like sports. Though he does excel in preppy sports like squash and croquet. Even more so than Frasier. He also is a superior connoisseur to wine. Niles' success in school led to his attendance at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut (like his counterpart David Hyde Pierce) as an undergraduate, and the Yale School of Medicine for both his M.D. and Ph.D. in psychiatry. He subsequently attended the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England, where he was a postdoctoral fellow while completing his professional training. This further highlights the close competitive relationship with his brother, Frasier, who attended Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts as an undergraduate, then Harvard Medical School for both his M.D. and Ph.D. in psychiatry, subsequently followed by his own postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Niles describes his profession as "the saving grace of my life" (in the episode "IQ") and is greatly respected professionally. He runs his own Jungian practice (Frasier is a Freudian) and has had his research published in several psychiatric journals. Niles often compares his own career to that of his brother, and early in the series makes frequent wisecracks about the "pop psychiatry" that Frasier practices through his radio show. Over the course of the show his remarks dwindle to occasional jabs for the purpose of humor. It is revealed that Niles lashed out at his brother due to jealousy, as he felt that he did not receive the praise and recognition due for his hard work, whereas Frasier's face is seen on "the side of buses." This sibling conflict is one of the main ones explored in the series. There are well over a dozen character and story-telling errors about Niles Crane contained in the Frasier series episodes, listed here .
- Niles is a major character in the series Frasier however he doesn't appear or is actually mentioned in Cheers. He is the brother of Fraiser Crane and the son of Martin and Hester Crane. He is portyrayed by David Hyde-Pierce.
