Martin CraneMartin Crane (often called 'Marty') is a fictional character of the TV show Frasier. He is played by John Mahoney. Marty is an ex-cop, born in Seattle, who was shot in the hip when he interrupted a robbery in a store. He had to walk with a cane since this incident, which is also why he had to quit his job. His wife died several years ago, so he lived alone, with his brilliant dog Eddie and only visited his sons on occasion. When his son Frasier Crane moved to Seattle again (leaving Boston and Cheers behind), Marty moved into Frasier's apartment. Shortly after that, a live-in health care provider named Daphne Moon joined them. Frasier was extremely hesitant to allow Martin to live with him, reflected by the lack of compromises he was willing to make to accommodate his father. Martin was able to get away with one large concession, however -- the inclusion of his filthy 30-year old, green-and-yellow, duct-taped recliner into his son's otherwise tastefully-decorated living room. Although they are very different and there is a lot of friction between Marty and his two sons Frasier and Niles, they build a very close relationship over the years. Martin Crane is very down-to-earth and enjoys the simple things in life - quite the contrary to his snobbish sons. Also he is wittier and wiser, often foreseeing the catastrophe Frasier and Niles invoke. Martin had a few relationships over the years since his wife died. In 2003 he met Ronee Lawrence, who used to babysit the boys as kids but had since lost touch with the Cranes. They fell in love and got married the next year in the final episode of the show.
