Want to know the best John Mahoney movies? How about the worst John Mahoney movies? Curious about John Mahoney box office grosses or which John Mahoney movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which John Mahoney movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information. John Mahoney (1940-2018) was an English actor. Mahoney gained fame for playing Frasier Crane’s dad on the TV show Frasier from 1993 to 2004. During his career Mahoney put together a pretty impressive movie career too.
His IMDb page shows 74 acting credits from 1981-2015. This page will rank 26 John Mahoney movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television roles, cameos, shorts and straight to DVD movies were not included in the rankings.
2/5/2018: Just saw a tweet from WoC (Wife of Cogerson) relaying the sad news that John Mahoney had passed away at the age of 77. We (WoC & I) were just talking about Mahoney the other day. Frasier was one of our favorite television shows….so this loss seems very personal. Even though Frasier provided him the most fame….he had some memorable movie roles. My top 5 John Mahoney movie performances would be Tin Men, Eight Men Out, She’s The One, Barton Fink and Say Anything. So to pay our respects to Mr. Mahoney we put this UMR Movie page together as a tribute to him. Rest in Peace. You will be missed.
