Kelsey Grammer (aka Dr. Frasier Crane) has signed on to play Ebenezer Scrooge in An American Carol, a take off on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.
This will be Grammer's second turn as the great grumpy one, after originally playing the role in the NBC-Hallmark version of A Christmas Carol in 2004.
The indie satire will be directed by David Zucker (Scary Movie 4).
