I was watching Fraiser this morning.
This Twitter post has a quote from Mahoney explaining why he got into acting late in life.

I know there will be a lot of reminiscing over Frasier, but I wanted to highlight Mahoney's scene in Moonstruck with Olympia Dukakis. He's so good in it: a little pathetic, but still holding on to a quiet dignity. RIP.
