In a recent interview with Empire Online, Kelsey Grammer described his villainous character (Harold Attinger) in Transformers: Age of Extinction as "malevolent" before adding, "He’s a no-nonsense guy. He’s lived his life in the shadows for 30 years in the service of his country, and he likes to be unremarkable yet very efficient." While the actor has only appeared in the odd few summer blockbusters (such as 'Beast' in X-Men: The Last Stand), he describes his time working with director Michael Bay extremely positively. "He’s been very respectful and funny. He’s a terrific guy and quite a filmmaker. He just said to me the other day, 'You’re Kelsey Grammer - you can do whatever you want to do.' So I guess he at least has some acquaintance with my work." And what would his old television character Frasier make of this movie? "Well, you know what? I think he might find it offensive in some ways, but there was always a bit of Frasier that wasn’t completely a snob. He always liked blowing up things, too, if he could! When he would discover his inner child, he would revel in it, and I think Transformers is one of those things." Transformers: Age of Extinction movie is set to be released on June 27th, 2014.

I miss the days when I didn't know Grammer was a jackass. He's a good actor. Even so I still couldn't care less for this movie.

There's a fine line between camp and trash. That line was crossed long ago.

What's funny, is people calling this a shit movie before it even comes out. Did these same people think the 1st movie was shit?? I love Kelsay Grammer and he will be great and I think the movie will be pretty good too.

You guys bitch and complain about the transformer movies, even though we know you can't ever make a good transformers like Michael bay. It's not shitty at all, your just over exaggerating about it having to much people. That's really stupid. We all know the haters are still gonna see the movie, isn't that the reason you clicked on this link, or was it to start an argument. I have the whole collection I love them all, it brought back what I watched in my childhood, it was fun, action packed, and more.[frick] the haters because all the people who hate it ,your money actually won't matter because the movie is going to make Billions anyway without you just like my all time favorite IRON MAN 3. SO [frick] YOU HATERS
