Due South is a Canadian crime series with elements of comedy. The series was created by Paul Haggis, produced by Alliance Communications, and stars Paul Gross, David Marciano, Gordon Pinsent, Beau Starr, Catherine Bruhier, Camilla Scott, Ramona Milano, and latterly Callum Keith Rennie. It ran for 67 episodes over four seasons, from 1994 to 1999.
Robert J. Fraser, often called Bob Fraser and referred to as Fraser Sr to distinguish from his son, is a fictional character in the television series Due South portrayed by Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent.
Robert Fraser was a sergeant of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Fraser Sr was 57 years old in April 1994. The pilot episode of Due South focuses on Fraser Sr's murder and his son's attempt to solve the case. His last words before he was shot were; "You're going to shoot a Mountie? They'll hunt you to the end of the Earth!" Robert Fraser was betrayed by, and his murder orchestrated by Gerrard, (Ken Pogue,) his friend of some 30-years, and highly ranked within the RCMP and involved with illegal activity in-order to cover-up the truth about flaws in a dam.
Fraser Sr was a legend in his lifetime. He had a strong sense of justice and believed in the letter of the law. He was known for his ability to track criminals, especially in the expanse of wilderness. For over 20-years, the name "Bob Fraser" was spoken with awe among the ranks of the RCMP. In his Eulogy, it was said that he 'could track a ghost across sheer ice', and that a young officer would have to move fast and drive hard 'just to catch his shadow'. He was considered to be a few mounties who embodied the spirit and traditions of the RCMP. A toast to Robert Fraser after his funeral said, "may he not give the Angels a moments Peace". It's also said that his son "didn't fall far from the tree."
