A STAR IS BORN

(If you are looking for Lady GaGa, you are in the wrong place.)

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
-Shakespeare

BRENDAN JAMES FRASER  was born in Indianapolis, Indiana  on  r 3, 1968 at 3:28pm. He is a Sagittarius♐, with Taurus♉ rising and his moon is also in Taurus♉. In Chinese astrology he was born in the year of the Monkey🐒. (Big surprise !)  He was the fourth and last son of Peter Fraser and Carol Mary Genereux Fraser (1937 - 2016)  Brendan's ancestry is French-Canadian, German, Irish, Scottish, and Czech. Brendan's parents were both born in Canada thus Brendan holds dual citizenship and carries two passports when he travels.

Brendan's childhood was spent traveling and living with his family throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe due to his father's career as a journalist and officer with the Canadian Office of Tourism. As a child and teenager Brendan lived in the Netherlands, England, Switzerland , Canada (Ottawa and Toronto) and the United States (New York, Seattle in Washington State and Detroit,Michigan.)

Brendan has three older brothers. Sean, born in 1960. Kevin, born in 1962. Regan, born in 1963.


When Brendan was six yeas old, he became separated from his brothers in New York's Times Square. Fascinated with the theaters and matinee crowds on Broadway. A kind-hearted cabbie returned Brendan to his family at their hotel and refused the little boy's money. A seed was planted that would later begin to sprout during a trip to London's West End  where young Brendan saw his first professional theater production of the musical "Oliver". While in London he also experienced "The Mousetrap", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and "A Chorus Line". 

 Brendan was educated at The American School in The Hague, Netherlands, and Sacred Heart School in Seattle, Washington where he played Captain Corcoran in HMS Pinafore and at Upper Canada College where he worked in the school's little theater, appeared in plays and revues, and acted as stage manager and ticket seller. Later at The Actor's Conservatory of Cornish College of The Arts he starred in The Marriage of Bette and Boo by Christopher Durang and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Acting. After graduation he spent a year interning at the Intiman Theatre. He also worked with Seattle's Laughing Horse Summer Theater. He appeared in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream as well as Chekhov's Three Sisters, George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man, The King Stag by Carlo Gozzi, and The Madwoman of Chaillot by French dramatist Jean Giraudoux.
