The show's executive producer, Chris Clenshaw, who came across Brazier's profile on social media, said of his casting: "There was some of what I saw in Bobby that I thought would be perfect for Freddie. His energy, his twinkle, his spiritual side. So then we brought Bobby in to audition along with some others and he just blew us away with his performance. He is Freddie Slater."

Following his stint on the show, pop culture commentator Nick Ede named Brazier "a rare breed of talent" and compared him to Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles. He opined that both Brazier and Styles "got that look that's appealing to young people, appealing to the mothers, appealing to the guys, they don't really alienate anybody and they have that unique ability to make people happy." In a similar tone, journalist Lucie Cave expressed that "there's a real purity and humility about him that is rare in a young star," and journalist Jacques Peretti said that "what's appealing about him is what appealed about his mother, which is a sort of ingenue innocence." Elaborating on this, public relations expert Mark Borkowski commented that he has "'the suff' – a natural ability to communicate." He said that while "other people have to have it trained in them, and of course we see that inauthenticity," Brazier is "this slightly gauche, naive and beautifully optimistic human being, and people find him naturalistic ... He's gloriously honest at this stage." Brazier played for England in the 2024 edition of the annual charity football match Soccer Aid to raise money for UNICEF. He also starred as schoolboy James in the 2024 Paramount+ thriller series Curfew, which won him the National Film Award UK for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series. ==Filmography==
