Prepare for Another 86 Years of Frasier Crane

Classic television never dies.

Apparently, in the case of Cheers and Frasier, neither will one of its biggest stars. At least, not for another 86 years.

Kelsey Grammer, who suffered a near-deadly stroke and heart attack in May 2008, told the New York Post his longevity has been determined by a higher power.

"One day I asked: How old am I going to be when I die?" he tells the newspaper. "And I had the Bible in front of me so I just closed my eyes, opened it up to a page in the Book of Job and I pointed. There was a reading that said when I die I am going to be 140 years old. And I like that."

The Hank star admits "faith in God" has helped him through his failed marriages, failed shows and other difficulties, but says he's not really the church type.

"I don't go to church," he says. "I read the Bible a lot. I'm fine with the Book of Matthew because there's a lot in there about working out your own salvation."

The 54-year-old Emmy winner also says he talked to "[his] angels" throughout his health crisis more than a year ago.
