Jonathan Fraser

Lead Actor, "The Soldier"

Jonathan Fraser moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Telecommunications and Theater. Driven by his love for the dramatic process, he has primarily pursued a career in acting during his tenure here. His innate ability with technical matters and his hands approach to life has also led him to work in a variety of jobs behind the camera.

His latest achievement is the ongoing film festival, “Short Mondays,” which he created with his two partners. The festival focuses on screening original shorts from around the globe and happens the first Monday of every month. “I created it as a place for young and upcoming filmmakers to meet one another, share their experiences, and have a forum to exhibit their work”. Having written, produced and acted in over a dozen short films, he is well aware of the needs of this unique brand of filmmaker. Recently, he directed his first short film, “Closure”, which will be screened at “Short Mondays” in the near future.

His most recent films include: “Diamond’s and Guns,” “Zero Option,” and "Duel." His latest television credits include: “The Young & The Restless,” “Monster House,” “Las Vegas,” and “Crossing Jordan”. He was last seen on stage at The Coronet Theater in Theater CRAM 2004.

" Duel" is by far the most fun I’ve had as an actor. Rehearsing with great friends, training with professionals and working on physically and emotionally demanding material… it simply doesn’t get any better. Dominic and Gordon put together a fantastic group of talented people from top to bottom. Dominic pulled the very best out of each and everyone of us. The proof is in the pudding! My hat is off to everyone involved.
