Honorable Mention: Kelsey Grammer, St. Thomas, USVI (Frasier Crane from “Cheers” and “Frasier,” Sideshow Bob from “The Simpsons”)
Frasier Crane, island bwoy? Though he moved at age two with his mother to Florida, Kelsey Grammer spent his earliest days on St. Thomas in the USVI. Maybe now Sideshow Bob‘s dreads make a little bit more sense. (For more Simpsons Caribbean connections, see here).
