Jane Leeves, who played Daphne Moon in "Frasier," admitted to being starstruck by co-star David Hyde Pierce upon their initial meeting. She recalled seeing Pierce on the first day of filming and being immediately captivated by his demeanor.
Pierce, who portrayed Niles Crane, also knew of Leeves from her work on "Seinfeld" and "Murphy Brown." He expressed that they and the rest of the "Frasier" cast felt like kindred spirits, forming a close-knit family.
The "will-they-won't-they" dynamic of their characters, Daphne and Niles, culminated in their on-screen marriage by the end of "Frasier." However, their real-life friendship has continued long after the show's 2004 finale.
Decades later, Leeves and Pierce remain best friends, often spending time together with their spouses. Pierce also holds the special role of being godfather to Leeves' son, a testament to their enduring connection.
