Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Niles' last name?

Answer: It's never said

During the course of the whole show, his last name is never said! Fran even asked him one time if he had one, and Niles replied he did not have a last name. (Niles did not even know why.)

2. What country is Niles from?

Answer: England

Niles and Maxwell Sheffield grew up in England. In fact, Niles was Maxwell's butler when Maxwell was a boy. I also found out that the actor who played Niles, Daniel Davis, really was not British. But, Charles Shaughnessy, Maxwell, really was. Daniel Davis' accent was so convincing, fans wrote to him and told him that he should help Charles Shaughnessy improve his accent! I just thought that was really funny.

3. What did Niles do to find out secret information at the Sheffield Mansion?

Answer: All of these

Niles was so nosy and always wanted to know everybody's secrets. Niles would do anything to get some top secret information. Also, if C.C. wanted to know anything, she would pay Niles to tell her any information.

4. How many times did Niles propose to C.C.?

Answer: five

After Fran and Maxwell got married, Fran noticed that Niles actually cared for C.C. She suggested Niles date C.C. and he did. But, on their first date Niles proposed and C.C. denied. He asked her four more times, and in the last episode, C.C. finally accepted.

5. What is the name of the only episode that Niles did not appear in?

Answer: Maggie's Wedding

This is the only episode that Niles is absent from because he goes back to England to visit his family.

6. In the episode "The Facts of Lice," Niles gets head lice.

Answer: False

Maxwell got lice. It is a very funny episode.

7. What is the name of the actor who plays Niles?

Answer: Daniel Davis

Daniel Davis not only appeared in "The Nanny," but he also appeared in other television shows and the movie "The Hunt for Red October." In my opinion, he is a really great actor.

8. Of the following, what career did Niles want as a kid?

Answer: Member of Parliament

In one episode, Maxwell's great grandmother visits and she reminds Niles of all the careers he wanted when he was a little boy. It makes him feel bad since now he is just a butler.

Answer: dancing around in a shirt and boxers

Niles was dancing around and singing the song "Old Time Rock'n'Roll" when C.C came in. She stood there with an amused look on her face for a few minutes before he finally noticed her. Probably one of my favorite Niles moments.

10. Did Niles want Fran to marry Maxwell?

Answer: Yes

Niles liked Fran as a friend and thought that Fran and Maxwell were well matched. In fact, Niles helped Fran a lot. (Also, Niles did not want C.C. to marry Maxwell!)
