LOS ANGELES -- Kelsey Grammer has been hospitalized, his spokesman confirmed Monday, two months after the veteran "Cheers" and "Frasier" actor suffered a heart attack.

Grammer, 53, was admitted to hospital in New York as a precaution after complaining of feeling faint, his publicist Stan Rosenfield told AFP.

"Kelsey was feeling a little faint yesterday and went to the hospital," Rosenfield said in an email to AFP. "His doctor is changing the medication and they will monitor him overnight."

No further information was immediately available.

Grammer, who plays the President of the United States opposite Kevin Costner in the new comedy "Swing Vote," told Entertainment Tonight last week he was "doing fine" after suffering a heart attack in Hawaii in late May.
