Duncan Fraser (actor)

Duncan Fraser is a British-born Canadian actor.[1] He is most noted for his performance in the 1985 film Overnight, for which he was a Genie Award nominee for Best Supporting Actor at the 7th Genie Awards in 1986,[2] and his regular role as Staff Sgt. Regan in Da Vinci's Inquest, for which he was a Gemini Award nominee for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 15th Gemini Awards in 2000.[3]

Born in Manchester, England, Fraser planned to study aeronautical engineering at London University, but switched to psychology after finding engineering too technical and mathematical.[1] Following university he travelled around the world for a number of years, before settling in the Vancouver area in 1974 and working as an actor.[1] He spent a number of years as director of the Nanaimo Theatre Festival, and as associate director of Vancouver's Fend Players theatre company.[1]

Fraser was also known for his regular television roles as Zack Denny in Bordertown, Mac McDougall in The Heights, Colonel Munro in Hawkeye, and Brian Brewster in Hope Island.
