‘Boss’ Star Kelsey Grammer Takes Part in Public Service Initiative for Lewy Body Dementia Association

Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer, star of the critically acclaimed STARZ Original series “Boss,” recently completed two public service announcements for the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA).

In “Boss,” Grammer portrays fictional Chicago Mayor Tom Kane, who last season was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia (LBD) — the second most common form of progressive dementia. More than 1.3 million Americans have been diagnosed with the disease, which affects almost everything about a person, including thinking, movement and behavior. LBD also affects sleep and automated systems such as blood pressure and digestion. In addition, sufferers can have severe medication sensitivities, especially to certain tranquillizers.
