We sit down with Fraser to discuss, his life, #tcn, #inclusivitynow #diversity #dandi and their impact on the entertainment industry.

Fraser is an award-winning actor/writer/director as well as CEO and founder of The TriForce Creative Network /dandi.org.uk; an organisation set up in 2003, with a core ethos of ‘inclusivity’ that promotes equal opportunities in the entertainment industry.
‘I am mixed race (Barbadian/Scottish), born and raised in Leicester, from a single parent, working class family, which very much informs all of my work on and off-screen. Inclusion and access aren’t merely political aims- they should be the cornerstones of not only our creative industry, but core to our societal responsibility - if you include everybody, you don’t need to exclude anyone.’
As an Executive Producer and Script Editor, Fraser has worked with the likes of Cormac McCarthy and Noel Clarke, as well as well as being responsible for creating the only comedy panel show about Black history - ‘Sorry, I Didn’t Know’.
Through his D&I organisations, Fraser has supported thousands of individuals from all walks of life to find their place in our industry, impacting greatly on on-screen representation over the past decade. Now, turning his attention to off-screen talent, Dandi.org.uk is working bespoke with the likes of Amazon, HBO, BBC, UKTV and over 50 production companies to ensure inclusive recruitment at all levels.
Creatively, Fraser received the 2021 Imison award and is responsible for creating and Producing the only comedy panel show about Black history - ‘Sorry, I Didn’t Know’. His writing includes the award winning In the Long Run, Eastenders, the upcoming CBBC Series Lagging, and radio productions such as Maynard for BBC Radio 4 (Imison Award finalist) and Space is the Place, a 5 part dramatization of the lives of the Jazz greats for Jazz FM. Fraser is currently writing on several projects including an original commissioned series for UKTV (Midsomer Murders meets Atlanta) based on his experiences of race and classism in a wealthy, idyllic village.
Beginning his creative career as an actor, Fraser’s highlights include being named The Guardian’s “Top Performer”, Time Out Best Performer, several The Stage Best Actor nominations and starring in The Smoking Room, Midsomer Murders, and NBC’s international miniseries, Kingdom and Empire. Movies include Patrice Chereau’s Intimacy, Alex Cox’s Revengers Tragedy & Noel Clarke’s AdultHood.
In his spare moments, Fraser does a lot of Yoga and plays with a lot of Lego.
