Gibson Frazier

(Director/Co-Writer)

Defying traditional tracts of success, Gibson Frazier has followed his own inspiration creating opportunities for himself. He co-wrote, produced, and starred in the indie cult hit MAN OF THE CENTURY which won the Audience Award at the Slamdance Film Festival and was cited by the National Board of Review for Excellence in Independent Filmmaking. From performing in some of the most celebrated works on the New York Stage to developing and directing Christopher Titus’ play NORMAN ROCKWELL IS BLEEDING, the inspiration for the FOX television show TITUS, to an impressive list of acting credits working with such luminaries as Jack Klugman, Tony Randall, and Kirk Douglas, Gibson Frazier is as comfortable in the art world as he is in the commercial realm. A stalwart of New York’s downtown theatre scene, Gibson was named one of the best off-Broadway actors by both THE VILLAGE VOICE and TIME OUT NEW YORK.
