Forward Progress with Kelsey Grammer: Lessons from Shakespeare after grandfather’s death

Kelsey Grammer describes his first experience with Shakespeare in the 7th grade following the death of his grandfather, Gordon. Grammer read Julius Caesar and connected with the emotionally detached Brutus. Grammer, wanting to be strong for his family, attempted to embody Brutus’s stoicism. Later in life, Grammer again called on great writers and story-tellers following his expulsion from Juilliard.
