Transformers: Age of Extinction star Kelsey Grammer recently spoke to EMPIRE magazine about his role as the film's principle human villain Harold Attinger. The interview is brief and doesn't give much away, but Grammer sums up his character as "Malevolent". He also gives a few comments on his first collaboration with director Michael Bay. The Full article can be found be clicking here.

"Malevolent" is the word Grammer uses to describe his big bad, Harold Attinger. "He’s a no-nonsense guy," he told Empire. "He’s lived his life in the shadows for 30 years in the service of his country, and he likes to be unremarkable yet very efficient."

What of his first collaboration with the ringmaster? "I don’t know if Michael has seen Frasier," laughed Grammer. "He’s been very respectful and funny. He’s a terrific guy and quite a filmmaker. He just said to me the other day, 'You’re Kelsey Grammer - you can do whatever you want to do.' So I guess he at least has some acquaintance with my work."

actually, his brief back story is pretty interesting. i can see him utilizing cybertronian technology, or maybe even transformers themselves as his tools to turn the world against itself while he stays behind the curtain. kinda like an anti-nest. i like it.
