Bio
Enzo (July 1995 – June 23, 2010) was a Jack Russell terrier (the son of Moose) best known for his role as Eddie Crane on the television sitcom Frasier, from 2000-2004.
He replaced Moose in the role from the ninth season.
Enzo was one of a few puppies bred specifically as possible replacements for Eddie as it became clear that Frasier was a hit and would enjoy a long run. The longevity of Frasier necessitated the breeding of puppies as possible replacements for Moose.
A daughter, Miko, was considered but never grew large enough (she was given to a technician); a son, Moosie, now lives with Peri Gilpin, the actress who played Roz Doyle.
Moose's son Enzo, born to mother Chelsea Marvin - also a Jack Russell - was a closer match and turned out to have unusually similar facial markings to his father; later in the series he was used as a stunt double to perform the more physically challenging tricks for his aging sire.
Enzo was cast as Skip in the feature film My Dog Skip; Moose played the older Skip in a few scenes. His trainer and several actors have commented on Enzo’s skill and trainability; he performed tricks and portrayed a wide variety of emotions.
Enzo died on June 23, 2010 at the age of 14.
