Raised by a housewife and a street lighting technician in a family of British descent, Frederick grew up alongside four siblings.

During his university years, Frederick also won the Senior Writing Award at Riverdale Collegiate Institute.
Career
Michael Ironside developed a specialty for playing "tough guys" and villains early in his career. One of his first roles was as an "evil telepath" in the 1981 film "Scanners." He also played a serial killer in the early-80s film "Visiting Hours." During this period, he explored additional television opportunities in shows like "The A-Team." However, it wasn't until the miniseries "V: The Final Battle" that Michael truly began to break through as a mainstream actor.
This role led directly to one of his most iconic roles, that of "Jester" in the 80s hit "Top Gun." He followed up with a number of notable roles in the late 80s, including "Extreme Prejudice," in which he also played a member of the military. In 1990, he teamed up withArnold Schwarzenegger, playing an assassin. He then continued to appear as villains in early-90s films such as "Highlander II: The Quickening" before joining the cast of shows like "ER" and "seaQuest DSV." Throughout the rest of the early 90s, Ironside booked roles in movies like "Killer Image" and "Dead Man's Revenge." In 1997, he booked a major role in "Starship Troopers." The film received negative reviews upon release, mostly because audiences did not realize that it was intended to be satire. However, it proved to be a modest box office success with a gross of over $121 million on a budget of $105 million. As time went on, however, critics have re-evaluated the movie and praised its "keenly aware sendup of right-wing militarism," in the words of Calum Marsh of "The Atlantic."
