Dr. Niles Crane (born 1957) is a fictional character on the American sitcom Frasier, a spin-off of the popular show Cheers. He was portrayed by David Hyde Pierce. Niles is the younger brother of Frasier Crane and the son of Martin Crane.
Niles is fastidious, snobby and fussy, and has gourmet tastes, and was described by a professional interviewed by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as Obsessive-compulsive.
He is an admirer of the fine arts including opera, theatre and classical music, drinks fine wine and enjoys French food which he himself cooks, and frequently obsesses about knowing the right people and climbing the social ladder.
He drives a Mercedes-Benz with the licence plate 5HR1NK. It is unknown which Mercedes he drives in the latter half of the series, but in the first season episode "The Crucible" we see him driving a Mercedes-Benz E320.
