Brendan is an amazing human being and fabulous actor. I'm so glad he won the Oscar for the movie, The Whale. The way he portrayed that role was so in depth and gut wrenching. I cried through the whole movie. Brendan has been a favourite actor for me for years. I love who he is and his gentle loving nature. He is so humble and endearing. I wish for him, nothing but the best in life and all the best roles in his acting. Love you Brendan. ❤❤❤

I would watch movies just because he was in them. And I actually liked Mrs Winterbourne.

Blast from the past my favorite. I wore my DVD out watching over and over. Loved the idea of innocence he portrait as adult, due to the values his character was raised with while stuck in fall out shelter. The ideal gentleman the character displayed.

Brendan Fraser has been a favorite actor of mine since the 90s. I've watched almost all of his movies and he is a great actor. Oddly enough, School Ties is my favorite of his movies - it never made sense to me why it never received more accolades. Although I also enjoyed all three of The Mummy movies. He deserved that 'come back' moment with The Whale. I hope he enjoys a renewed career and makes a ton more movies.

I saw blast from the past in theaters when it first came out and loved it. That’s when I first knew of Brendan Fraser

Brendan Fraser the best part he played was the father of two disabled children in the movie "Extraordinary Measures" . He was perfect in his embodiment of a father that will do anything to save is children from an orphan disease slowly killing the children. Trying to find a medication that would save them. He had to search out a doctor/ researcher that had a theory on a medication that would save them. It was a wonderful movie. You really feel for this father ,you could feel his desperation. Beautiful movie , great acting. Brendan Fraser is an excellent actor .

That is beautiful. His performances bring a LOT of joy and comfort to so many people, including myself. Although Encino Man actually did do well at the box office, but Airheads did not, and yet it's one of his most well-known and well-loved. So whether or not they were box office hits at the time they were released, or serious roles, doesn't matter. He is an excellent actor no matter what the genre, with many, many loyal followers. I liked the video above in many ways because it appreciates his talent, but the emphasis on box office so-called "failures" irked me.

Brendon Frasier ❤ we are age contemporaries and when George of the Jungle came out I took my young Godson to see it. For years that was "our film" to joke about/reminisce over. I've missed him in the cinema since and realised watching this video that I've seen all, but for two, of his films. On a side note, yes, still have dvds of him in his films and no, they've never been allowed to enter any donation pile ❤

Thanks for a comprehensive review. I'm so glad that Brendan won last year's Oscar for Best Actor. He was just great in "The Whale." Just so you know, the late film critic's last name is EEBERT -- Roger Ebert, not the way you said it.

My favorite is Blast from the Past. I fell in love with him.

Brendan is a precious jewel - he’s one of the good ones. I hate that he spent so many years hurting and lost due to the sexual harassment & assault by some slimy bigwig who wasn’t worth the air he breathed. As a survivor myself, I absolutely understand how much that messes with your view of yourself and indeed - the entire world around you. I’m so thankful he had his family at that time; love can and does often heal, but sometimes its job is more to hold you up and keep you going while you heal yourself. At the same time sometimes this kind of pain can turn areas of your life toxic, and I can’t imagine going through all of this as your mother - his biggest supporter always - slowly, painfully was stolen by cancer. He deserves happiness just as all of us do; I am so glad to see he’s doing well and I wish him nothing but the best.

No, he isn't. Until 2 years ago, he hadn't been out of work for 31 years. His stories are untrue, his allegations are false. He's been a liar all his life and his mother was the first recipient of his lies. If she were alive, she would be disgusted with him, especially with The Whale. Phil Berk has been married to his childhood sweetheart for 70 years and he's heterosexual. Brendan couldn't keep up his sham marriage for 10 years. He's been gay since boarding school. His 2 youngest "sons" aren't even his, and he knows it. Anyone with eyes knows it. Phil Berk is 90 years old and has 1 accuser. No others have come forward in the 44 years that he worked in the industry. None have come forward since Brendan's lie-filled GQ interview 7 years ago. What does that tell you? His phony comeback was orchestrated by him and managed by 2 PR firms and believed by a lot of naive people who didn't do the math or ask the right questions.

Love all Brendan’s work!!! George of the Jungle and Mummy. ❤

My favorite movie Brendan Fraser was in was Blast from the Past. The essential innocence of a man raised by doting parents in a bomb shelter, he was such fun to watch in that role.

Blast from the Past, we watch it at least once a year. He came across as a gentle, wise, compassionate man, who is probably the same in his life.

I loved Blast From The Past. One of my favorite movies. I've seen it more than once, and look foward to seeing it again.

We need one of these for Alexander Skarsgaard!!!

So thankful he spoke up about the inappropriate behaviour, it's not funny when we feel intimidated. Thank you Brandon. I found myself identifying with his "loser" side and having compassion, something I have been too afraid to do so much.

Brandon always seemed like such a sweet man, who was always grateful for the roles he got. Other actor could take a page out of his book.

enjoyed every film I've seen him in, but, my favorite was The Whale [anyone who doubts his acting ability needs to see this, my favorite comedy of his was Blast from the Past, the portrayed blend of innocence and earnestness was phenomenal to watch]

I very much enjoyed his performance in "the quiet American".

This was extremely well done. Such a refreshing change of pace to watch this production when today, everyone is just throwing something together and using an AI voice to narrate with many mistakes. This production is fully researched and top quality. I am subscribing. ❤

Excellent actor. I love Blast from the Past, School Ties, With Honors, The Mummy and The Whale, among others. He is a natural actor. He can really act in any role. Some really great actors are not really appreciated. He is funny, sad, depressed, silly, romantic….He is an action actor as well as a very good dancer. Imagine, Kirk Douglas, Cary Grant, and Peter O’Toole never won an Oscar. Al Pacino didn’t won any award for The Godfather, he is the godfather. Looking forward to seeing many more films with this talented actor.

Blast From The Past. Me and my family watched it over and over

I most loved Inkheart!! And then Journey. And, of course, the Mummy series. I love watching Brendan. He's a very talented actor who got screwed. I've yet to see The Whale. I'm looking forward to it with two enthusiasm. I'm on disability and cannot afford to go to a movie or I would have used every resource at my disposal. Btw, I have survived 4 strokes and as a result cannot drive anymore to get to a theatre.

There has always been a prejudice among critics that comedy is not difficult; that it's easy and comedians or comedic actors aren't really acting, which implies they can't act. They, the critics, seem to consider comedy as a crutch, i.e., an easy way to entertain. In fact, nothing is further from the truth and, frankly, it is rare when I see a really good comedy movie. With that in mind, Brendan Fraser seems to have been wrongly type-cast -- both by Hollywood and the public -- as a comedic actor when, in fact, he was a serious actor from the start. It's a pity. But an object lesson in preconceptions and misconceptions. And I think now, finally, Brendan Fraser will be considered for parts that he has wanted his whole life. At least, I hope so. I also want to add that I have not seen The Whale. I'm not sure I ever can, as my relationship with my own father was -- well, my own father was completely different from that of the character depicted in The Whale. To this day, it's very painful for me to watch what a good father would be like; especially one looking for redemption.

marigeobrien: Bravo!! Thank you for posting this. I can't tell you how refreshing it is. I have thought the same thing for a long time, and it really does irk me, this commonly held notion that actors doing comedy are not "real" actors. Such baloney. The idea that their comedic work does not require talent and is somehow a cinch compared to drama - thus implying they can't act - is a myth that really needs to be debunked. It's an insult to the really talented actors out there that do comedic acting, that their work is dismissed as something that just anybody could do goofing around in their living room. And this definitely applies to Brendan Fraser. It drives me bonkers when someone says (after seeing him for the first time in a dramatic role), "Wow! He can actually ACT!!!" Oh brother. It's obvious that Brendan imbues each of his comedic characters with the mannerisms, body movements, demeanor, facial expressions, personality and voice to make that specific character come to life, and to tell their story. Just as he does with the dramatic ones. Moreover, he has a gift for making even very implausible characters believable, and for physical comedy, comic timing, and convincingly reacting to things which are not in front of his eyes (added later with CGI). Most of all, he takes his characters and their humanity seriously, whether they are funny or serious characters. That is actually his stated acting philosophy. I think you hit the nail right on the head that he has been inaccurately typecast as only a comedic actor, with all the disparaging baggage that you described going along with it. And, as you rightfully pointed out, Brendan Fraser has also been a serious dramatic actor from the start. It's nothing new. To anyone reading who doesn't know: His first two major roles filmed before Encino Man was released, Guilty Until Proven Innocent and School Ties, were fine performances of completely serious dramas. After that, he spent the better part of the 90s also excelling in dramatic roles, such as The Passion of Darkly Noon, Twilight of the Golds, and Gods and Monsters (and more.) He has continued in that way alternating from one genre to the next throughout his career, and expressed that when he does one role, he intentionally turns around and does a completely different kind of role the next time. That kind of incredible versatility should really be admired instead of disparaged. The good news is that with his incredible performance in The Whale, he finally received the accolades he deserved, and is more and more often being referred to as the supremely talented and versatile actor he is. I've been following him for a lot of years now, and believe me, I've noticed a difference. However, the myth about comic acting pertaining to Brendan and others still exists, so it never hurts to call it out. So thank you again. And finally, I'm so sorry to hear about your painful experience with your father. I understand why you may not want to see a movie like The Whale. If you feel it would be triggering for you, you shouldn't have to. It's a very emotionally intense movie about a father and daughter, and not for everyone. I wish you well and hope you can find healing and peace.

Didn't understand what happened to him till I recently found out he was treated unfairly. The industry is disgusting. Hollywood is full of a lot of weirdos and pedophilers. And just plain horrible people that feed off talented actors and musicians. I'm so glad he made it back. He's a kind soul. He deserves only the best❤❤❤

As to why it's no longer in production, I don't know. But I suspect it's the industry just assuming that Brendan fans only want to see a select few of his films - mainly the Mummy films and George of the Jungle. It's so out of touch with what his followers really want. For example, Still Breathing is one of his most beloved films that his fans adore, but it's out of print also. Same for Airheads. It's crazy. He has many performances that don't get much publicity, therefore people don't know about them, or if they do, they are hard to come by. They should all be easily accessible and actively publicized, so people are aware. And the final thing I will say (sorry for the rant) is that Journey to the End of the Night IN PARTICULAR should be hightlighted right now, because Darren Aronofsky, director of The Whale, said that it was a scene from that movie (probably the emotional one near the end, you know what I'm talking about lol), that inspired him to hire Brendan for the role. So without JTTEOTN, there would be no Whale, no multiple accolades including the Oscar, etc. etc. for Brendan. So why not use that to promote Journey to the End of the Night?? Because the industry assumes all we want is the Mummy. So far from the truth. Ok, end of rant. LOL.
