Why not? Beast is a scientist with a fair accent... Kelsey gives off that sorta vibe and is a great actor. I kinda can see a lil of Kelsey's persona in Beast as well.... don't ask why.

i think the cast choice is excellent, although my only concern is the voice acting...i mean, beast has a deep-ish raspy voice (from the cartoons anyway) while Kelsey Grammer does not...as far as i know....maybe i'm wrong.

Sure you're thinking of Beast? Grammer's voice is almost identical to the original X-Men cartoon. I never saw the Evolution show if that's what referring to.

I dunno but when I was watching the original X-Men, Beast had a nice and almost english voice that didn't sound like a 'beast' at all. It was very human, and wasn't raspy. Kelsey's voice is perfect.

I love the casting choice. When not kicking ass, Beast is supposed to be a very reserved, articulate and brilliant man. When kicking ass, the filmmakers will have to pretty much use CG anyway, so why not go with an actor that drips "sophistication"?

Anyway, I still think Brett Ratner will screw this movie up somehow. Those idiots at Fox should have never let the relationaship get so bad that Bryan Singer would up and leave such a successful franchise.

I'm disappointed with the lack of Gambit.
