Did you see Walt Frasier on GMA as Santa?
WARRIOR SISTERS 2000 at the Kitchen NYC
NY TIMES OPERA REVIEW By JON PARELES
“Walt Frasier, as the all-purpose colonial villain, reached up to countertenor range with appropriate craven boorishness.”
GUTTER STAR The Paperback Musical 2009 NY Fringe Minetta Lane Theatre
TALKIN BROADWAY review by Matthew Murray
“Walt Frasier … gave the best-sung and most assured performance to be found in the show… as Darla’s friend-and-protector studio head, Frasier deserves credit: His supple baritone and confident manner gave the show an anchoring dramatic weight.”
WHO IS WALT FRASIER?
Walt Frasier, a NYC based artist, has a diverse performance career that now include costar roles on TV (CBS Blue Bloods, USA Royal Pains, NETFLIX Lilyhammer, NICK Naked Brothers Band) and Sketch comedy bits on CBS’s Late Night with David Letterman (9 episodes 2006-2007) and TruTV’s Friends of the People (2016). In 2002 he co-founded the Comedy Troupe, EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH which still performs weekly in Times Square and tours nationwide to colleges, events and K-12 Outreach. Mostly known today for his Improv Comedy, Frasier still sings weekly in churches and previously has performed in Operas (Bronx Opera, Riverside Opera, Amalfi Festival) and Musicals (Fiddler – Gateway Playhouse, Scarlet Pimpernel – 2nd Nat’l tour, NYC Fringe Festivals). Favorite past roles include Rodolfo (La Boheme), Henry VIII (Man for All Seasons), Harold Hill (Music Man), The Prince (Student Prince).
Most fun on set to date must be working with Stevie Van Zandt in Norway on the Lilyhammer series finally written and directed by icon from the E Street Band. But a close second was filming Royal Pains in Puerto Rico.
Walter may be most recognizable for his role in two commercials as Dr. Oz’s Fat Pants, which was later discussed on David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and Pierce Morgan.
However, Walt Frasier is always most at home performing live.
