Dan Butler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Bruce Butler (born December 2, 1954 in Fort Wayne, Indiana) is an actor who is known for his role as Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe on the long-running TV series Frasier as well as "D-pop" on the television show "Handsworth High"

Openly gay, he starred in Terrence McNally's 1989 play The Lisbon Traviata and wrote an off-Broadway play about his life, The Only Thing Worse You Could Have Told Me..., which derives its title from a comment Butler's father allegedly made when Dan came out to him.
