The recent Oscar-winning actor appears in Scorsese's crime drama as bombastic attorney W.S. Hamilton, representing Robert De Niro's William Hale in court. Some online have criticized the actor's performance for being too exaggerated or over-the-top, but Scorsese is defending Fraser's delivery as "perfect."
"We thought he'd be great for the lawyer, and I admired his work over the years," Scorsese said per LADBible, in quotes confirmed by EW. "He actually came in for I think a couple of weeks on the picture, particularly when it was in our later shoot. We had a really good time working together, particularly with Leo [DiCaprio]. Particularly in the scene where he says, 'They're putting a noose around your neck, he's saving you, dumb boy.'"
"He brought the whole scene down on Leo," Scorsese continued. "It was perfect. And he had that girth. He's big in the frame at that time. He's a wonderful actor and he was just great to work with."
