Robert Frazer (born Robert William Browne, June 29, 1891 – August 17, 1944) was an American actor who appeared in some 224 shorts and films from the 1910s until his death.[1][a] He began in films with the Eclair company which released through Universal Pictures.

Early years

Frazer was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and educated in Massachusetts. When he was young, he worked in a grocery store during vacations and spent much of his spare time reading plays and literature about becoming an actor. He also staged backyard plays for his friends.[2]

Acting career

Frazer acted with several repertory companies,[2] including the Cosgrove Stock Company, toured the United States in productions,[3] and performed on Broadway in Seremonda (1917).[4]

After some theater experience he swiftly moved into acting in silent films. In 1912 he began his movie career by portraying Jesus Christ in The Holy City, and in the same year played the lead in Robin Hood.[1] He also appeared in two classic horror films, White Zombie (film) (1932) and The Vampire Bat (1933).

Personal life and death

Frazer was married to Mildred Bright, an actress.[1]

On August 17, 1944, Frazer died of leukemia[1] in Los Angeles, California. He was 53.
