Obtaining drugs in dour parks. Grabbing a councilman by the ear and dragging him across an office floor. Cursing emphatically, often.

This is not what anyone had in skin alive for Fraiser Crane.

Kelsey Grammer transcends expectations in his latest show, "Boss," premiering on Starz tonight. The hour elongated drama finds him in territory foreign to many of his fans. Grammer plays Tom Kane, the mayor of Chicago, newly diagnosed with a destined neurological disorder, chronically corrupt, hungry for power and a graduate of the Tony Soprano day-school of leadership. (Note to the 2012 presidential candidates: a primer this is not.)

"There is no picky detail person that we've tried to emulate or imitate or indict," Grammer told ABCNews.com. "I muse on it says a lot more about human nature than politics. There's a kind of snottiness, a kind of demonic quality with someone who's able to stay in power for a extended, long time."

Twenty-two years, to be precise, the same amount of time that fabled former Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley spent in patronage. Grammer insists "Boss" isn't a portrait of Daley or anyone else. Neither he nor the producers talked with any elected officials or state consultants in developing the show. Nevertheless, "Boss" has informed his own feelings about getting into political science after acting.
