Kelsey Grammer suffered a mild heart attack this past weekend. The former star of such television hits as “Frasier” and “Cheers” and voice of the irrepressible Sideshow Bob on “The Simpsons” is currently “resting comfortably” in an undisclosed hospital in Hawaii.

Grammer, 53, experienced cardiac symptoms Saturday morning while paddleboarding in the ocean with his wife, Camille, a former playboy model. The two share a home in Kona on Hawaii’s big island. Grammer was immediately rushed to the hospital where it was determined he had experienced a mild heart attack. He is expected to be released later this week after a period of recuperation. Grammer has no previous history of heart problems.
