Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with TV show runner Producer Bob Fraser

In the long history of network television, only a handful of people have been multi-hyphenates... writing, directing, producing and playing a role in the same series. Bob Fraser has done it twice. First with the classic television series, Benson - where he was the writer/director/show-runner & played Benson’s nemesis, Senator Leonard Tyler for 6 seasons ... then again in a show he created for NBC – Marblehead Manor – where he co-starred with Michael Richards (before Seinfeld). Starting as an actor more than 50 years ago, Bob has scores of credits in theatre, film and television - including the role of Snoopy in the original Off-Broadway hit, “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown,” as Michael in the New York premiere of “Lady Chatterly’s Lover,” as Big Jack in “The March March” and as one of the founders of The Fourth Wall. Bob has been the writer and producer on many series including, Benson, Full House, The Love Boat, Harry & The Hendersons, Condo, The Dictator, Hard Knocks, Phyl & Mikhy, Columbo and others. As a director, he has guided Oscar, Emmy and Tony winning performers in both theatre and television - not to mention hiring a ton of actors in his role as a producer.
