Episode 204: Bob Frazer
Actor Bob Frazer’s filmography is packed with ne’er-do-wells, evil puppet masters, and smarmy bastards. Bob was Roger Hayden, also known as the Psycho Pirate, in Supergirl and Arrow – a supervillain who could control the emotions of everyone around him. He was the Sourcerer, a criminal mastermind hacker, in the thoroughly entertaining (albeit divisive) ReBoot: The Guardian Code. He was a slimy luxury car dealer lording over a hapless dad portrayed by Eric McCormack in Drinkwater, the indie hit that wowed audiences at the 2021 Whistler Film Festival. And he’s Alban Hearst, a key figure in the anti-witch terrorist organization the Camarilla, in Freeform’s brilliant Motherland: Fort Salem, which is currently filming its third and final season. In 2018, Bob won the UBCP/ACTRA Award for Best Actor for his work in The Cannon. Bob played Colton, AKA The Cannon, an ailing adult-film star struggling to prevent the collision between his personal and professional lives. Bob is also a regular on stages around town – including for titular roles in Shakespeare plays at Bard on the Beach – and he’s been nominated for more than a dozen Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards. In this engrossing conversation, Bob discusses the joys, challenges, and allure of giving life to dastardly characters.
