We’re back in the Brendan Fraser era, everyone, and the internet couldn’t be happier to welcome one of the most popular actors of the 1990s and 2000s back into the spotlight.
Fraser landed his first on-screen role in 1991 in Dogfight but gained traction in the 1990s with roles in bigger films such as Chester Darby in Airheads alongside Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi and George in George of the Jungle “. next to Leslie Mann. The actor’s breakthrough role arguably came in 1999 when he portrayed archaeologist Rick O’Connell in The Mummy, which only helped catapult him into blockbuster films like The Mummy Returns, Looney Tunes: Back in Action . and “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.
However, throughout the 2010s, Fraser was constantly repairing injuries he sustained on set, which eventually hampered his ability to function as a person, let alone an actor. He said GQ 2018: “Going to work — between getting in and out of those hospitals, that wasn’t always possible.” Along with a divorce and dealing with the aftermath of an alleged sexual assault at the hands of the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Fraser experienced difficulties which resulted in a hiatus from both work and the public. “I’ve been through things that mold and shape you in ways that you’re not ready for until you’ve gone through them,” he revealed to GQ.
In recent years, however, Fraser has made a comeback and is back in the spotlight. He received critical acclaim for his recent performance in Darren Aronofsky’s controversial The Whale and will share the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon. Given his ever-growing fan base, and all the excitement surrounding his latest roles, here are Brendan Fraser’s best movies and TV shows over the years!
