Eric Fryer

Eric Fryer is a Canadian actor, who played Terry Fox in the 1983 biopic The Terry Fox Story.

Originally from Scarborough, Ontario, he was cast because he was a leg amputee who had some physical resemblance to Fox. As he was a novice actor, however, the film's producers hired Rosemary Dunsmore as a dedicated acting coach to guide Fryer in performing.

Fryer won the award for Best Actor at the 5th Genie Awards. He only appeared in two other minor acting roles thereafter, appearing in episodes of The Beachcombers ("High Tension", February 19, 1984) and Home Fires.
