Brendan Fraser is a Canadian actor known for his goofy or big-budget roles. Starred in
The Mummy Trilogy, the live action
George of the Jungle remake, along with the similar
Dudley Do Right remake,
Blast from the Past,
Looney Tunes: Back in Action,
Airheads, the 2008
Journey to the Center of the Earth,
Furry Vengeance,
Encino Man, and many other silly or high-budget pictures. However, he's also been in some lesser known (and serious!) films such as
Gods And Monsters,
The Quiet American and
School Ties. (Between the two extremes lie films like
Inkheart and
Monkeybone, and his role as Ben Sullivan on
Scrubs.)
Despite having so many more silly roles than serious, he is quite a talented actor,
Ian McKellen once remarking that he wished to one day be as good an actor as Fraser. However, Fraser seems to be content to star in big budget productions,
sometimes seeming to prefer them over 'serious' pictures
. His surname is pronounced with an 'S' sound, not like
Frasier. He speaks French fluently (as you can see in
Blast from the Past). Mo from
The Inkworld Trilogy was based off him in physicality, which later caused him to be cast as that character in
The Film of the Book.
