An unusual appearance and unique delivery made him a natural comedic actor. Fraser was a familiar figure in West End clubs during the Sixties, and despite a long-standing reputation as one of the hardest drinking of British actors he was still working in his last years. He was perhaps best known as Basil "Badger" Allenby-Johnson in the 1970s television series The Misfit.
