Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst is joining the Frasier reboot for streaming service Paramount+. The surprise casting is the first project Lyndhurst has signed on to since the sad death of his son Archie in 2020.
The legendary sitcom actor, who played Rodney Trotter opposite David Jason's Del Boy for two decades, hasn't worked since appearing on screen with Archie in CBBC's So Awkward back in 2019. In September 2020 the 19-year-old was found dead at his home after having a brain haemorrhage.
Lyndhurst, 61, has signed up to the new series of Frasier which stars Kelsey Grammer and originally aired between 1993 and 2004, with the reboot first announced in 2021. The Only Fools veteran will play a character called Alan Cornwall.
