Robert Frazer (Worcester (Massachusetts), 29 de juny de 1891– Los Angeles, 17 d’agost de 1944,[1] va ser un actor que sobretot va desenvolupar la seva carrera durant l’època del cinema mut.
Biografia
[modifica]Robert William Browne (nom real de l’actor) va començar la seva carrera en el món del teatre el 1909[2] treballant en diferents companyies de Nova Anglaterra[3] com la Cosgrove Stock Company.[4] El 1912 William Haddock el contractà per a la productora cinematogràfica Éclair Company[5] Feu el seu debut interpretant a Jesucrist a The Holy City (1912). També seria el primer actor a interpretar el paper de Robin Hood, en una versió del 1912. El 1913 es va casar amb l’actriu Mildred Bright.[6] amb qui convisqué tota la seva vida.[7] Arribaria a ser un dels principals intèrprets de la companyia.[8] El març del 1914[9] es va produir un incendi als estudis Eclair a Fort Lee que va cremar fins i tot el laboratori i l’actor passà a treballar per a múltiples companyies, combinant-ho amb un retorn al teatre. L’aparició del sonor no va suposar el final de la seva carrera i, tot i que quedà relegat a papers secundaris, actuà fins poc abans de morir, a Hollywood a causa d’una leucèmia.[10]
