Bob Fraser is an American television producer, writer, and actor.

Fraser's most notable work is on the TV show Benson, where he played a recurring role as a state senator for 6 seasons, in addition to serving as a story editor, writer, and later co-producer of the series (along with partner Rob Dames).

After Benson, Fraser and Dames formed their own production company, and (with Paramount Television) produced the short lived game show Wipeout, hosted by Peter Tomarken.

After Wipeout was cancelled in 1989, Fraser and Dames would work on other sitcoms, such as Marblehead Manor and Full House.

Bob Fraser was born in New York City just before the end of World War Two. His father was a radio personality, and his mother was a nurse. After attending the University of Colorado, Bob started his acting career at The Little Theatre On The Square in Sullivan, Illinois. Bob made his New York debut in 1966 in a play called "The March March." After five years in New York and roles in dozens of plays, Bob and his wife Bev Wiest purchased what would be the first of the four theaters they have owned and operated. They made the move to Los Angeles in 1976 and Bob started writing. His first writing job was for "Love Boat, The" (1977) in 1978. Bob is among a handful of people who have acted, written, directed and produced a popular television series. In fact, he's done it twice. First was "Benson" (1979), starring Robert Guillaume, where for six years Bob was show runner; he also portrayed the slimy Senator Leonard Tyler. The highlight for Bob was directing Academy Award winning actor George Kennedy (I) in a special one-hour murder mystery episode they wrote together. Bob later went on to create, star in, write and executive produce "Marblehead Manor" (1987) for Paramount and NBC. Bob's career is like that. He's owned theaters, had his own talk show, been a radio DJ, appeared in New York stage productions, and written scores of television and film scripts as well as more than a dozen plays. Along the way, Bob and Bev have raised three children. The couple recently celebrated their 35th anniversary. Bob's most recent project is the book "You Must Act!" which is sold on the Internet.
