John Fraser (born Glasgow 18 March 1931) is a BAFTA-nominated Scottish-born actor of cinema, television and theatre.

One of his earliest roles was as Inigo Jollifant in the second film version of J.B. Priestley's "The Good Companions". He is however most familiar on television, with roles in series including "Danger Man", "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" and "Doctor Who" amongst others.

In 2004 he published his autobiography, "Close Up", in which he writes frankly about his gay life and friendships with well known actors. [The Guardian, " [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1318021,00.html Sexy self-image that revved up Dirk Bogarde] ", 2004-10-02]

Quotation
Dirk's life with Forwood had been so respectable, their love for each other so profound and so enduring, it would have been a glorious day for the pursuit of understanding and the promotion of tolerance if he had screwed up the courage ... to make one dignified allusion to his true nature. Self-love is no substitute for self-respect.
