Fraser Clarke Heston (born February 12, 1955) is an American film director, film producer, screenwriter and actor. He is the son of actors Charlton Heston and Lydia Clarke, and has a sister, Holly Ann Heston.

As a baby, he made his film debut as the infant Moses (his father played the grown Moses) in the Cecil B. DeMille epic The Ten Commandments.[1]

Work with his father

While in the process of writing Wind River, a romantic adventure novel about 19th-century fur trappers, Heston was convinced by producer Martin Shafer to turn the story into a film script. Discovering that film-writing came naturally for him, 22-year-old Heston wrote his first screenplay, The Mountain Men, for Columbia Pictures, which became the feature film.

Frasier Heston produced his father's TV adaptation of A Man For All Seasons (1988). He directed his father as Long John Silver in a 1990 adaptation of Treasure Island for TNT and helmed The Crucifer of Blood starring his father as Sherlock Holmes the following year.[2]

Other work

After directing 2nd unit work in Spain on City Slickers, Heston directed 'Needful Things (1993) and Alaska.
