RIP John Mahoney, an acting legend in Chicago, who appeared onstage at Steppenwolf many times and in such films as BARTON FINK, SAY ANYTHING… and THE IRON GIANT, among many others, and played Martin Crane on FRASIER. pic.twitter.com/uLU9Gp3lI3

I never loved John Mahoney more than when he was annoying his TV sons with dated Austin Powers references pic.twitter.com/VGAjY8xchh

Oh no!! Frasier is a comic masterpiece and John Mahoney was magnificent in that role. What a loss https://t.co/7uYjP3xnPt

John Mahoney. The perfect comic actor because you saw no acting. What a legacy: the argument with Frasier when they act Jewish, saying “love ya” to his mate but not his kids, the Daphne impression etc etc. Genius. RIP.

Devastated by the loss of John Mahoney who was so kind and supportive of me early in my career when we made The Broken Hearts Club…

John Mahoney, who was best known as Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce's irascible but hilarious dad Martin on Frasier, has died. He was 77. He also appeared in such films as Tin Men, Moonstruck and Eight Men Out. pic.twitter.com/yPjS3HZMyp

John Mahoney was such a wonderful corner of the perfect square that was Frasier, Niles, Marty and Daphne. RIP.

Oh, such sad news about John Mahoney.

bit aside, this is pretty tough news about someone who became one of my favorite actors over the years solely from his work on frasier.

A wonderful actor has died: John Mahoney, 77, longtime Chicago stage star, sterling work in every medium. "Frasier" was just the icing on the cake. So good in "Moonstruck," among dozens of others. pic.twitter.com/TpLAh7sBXY

Sad to lose John Mahoney, who was great as Frasier's dad but even better as Diane Court's dad. He will be missed.

Sad to hear that John Mahoney has passed away.
Most of my generation will remember him fondly as FRAISER's dad, Martin Crane.
To me, he'll always be the General from THE IRON GIANT…https://t.co/SzjqVTGD6o

John Mahoney: Barton Fink, Say Anything, Eight Men Out, Iron Giant, Hudsucker Proxy, and huge part of why Frasier is one of the tightest, most well-executed sitcoms ever.

So sorry to hear of John Mahoney's passing. Met him once at Steppenwolf (brilliant in The Seafarer), got a chance to praise his work in Say Anything, et al. RIP.

He’ll be remembered for Frasier, but John Mahoney’s turn as a Faulknerian screenwriter in Barton Fink is (also) one for the ages.
