Brendan Fraser actually seems pretty happy to be there. Seemed a bit nervous at first (don't know if it's his personality or if he's just not used to being in the public eye anymore) but the hosts seemed really friendly and happy to see him and that made him more comfortable. He also seemed to have a very solid understanding of what he was talking about and passion for the show. I really don't know anything about Fraser (only saw him in Journey to the Center of the Earth) but the guy seems pretty nice!

A show that is heavily driven by character development, means it has pretty great characters which are all deeply explored. And among all of them, I feel the most for Robot-Man. Brendan's voice acting is simply brilliant! It's high-class acting! Respect for the man! 😁 P.S. He looks so innocent and amiable here 😃

You guys are fighting over it because DC Universe was only in the US, so the DC Universe exclusives would be released in other ways outside North America. So Kelvin's right in that Titans was released on Netflix outside the US because they don't have DC Universe. But Jimbo's right in that it won't come on Netflix in the US. But now it's on HBO Max, which is slowly expanding outside the US.
One of my favorite actors hope he's doing well
He was great in "Crash" and "School Ties"
Brendan Fraser now shares an honor formerly held by Robert Downey Jr in the film "Tropic Thunder": "I know who I am! I'm a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude!!"
Man, I hope this is the start of a Brendan Fraser renaissance. He deserves it. He's genuinely good, genuinely likeable, and was handed a raw deal.

Easily one of the best tv shows oit right now. The first episode is heartbreaking.
Still sooooooooooooooooo handsome. So genuine and softspoken and kind. I have so much respect for how selfless he is and for his resilience. He’s just a good guy. Hollywood chewed him up and spit him out and took advantage of him, and I cannot fathom how much he suffered. Incredible respect for him.

John Wick I disagree with the part that Doom Patrol has a simple story like the mummy, in fact it has anything BUT a “simple story”. Perhaps the main idea in season 1 is simple - “Save the chief” but there are so many sub-plots that delve deep into each character that makes this show so great. I hope it continues with such a high level content in the future seasons, as well, cause the show is only gonna up from here.
I love me some Brendan Fraser, he got a bad wrap from the media at one point in time. I'm glad he's back in action, I loved all his movies from The Mummy to Blast From The Past. He is just a sweet soul that keeps people laughing.
Brendan Fraser is one awesome dude! Very multi-talented, especially as Robotman on Doom Patrol. A very intriguing yet informative interview. Of course, on a personal note, I would've seen it earlier if Bill Barr didn't figuratively and quite literally threw his weight around and interrupt it, just to give us his "Me" time. There ought it be a law that limits program interruptions when breaking news happens. I mean, we got mobile devices that help up keep up with the news. So what's the point of interrupting the news when we have the news on the palm of our hands. In short, all the networks should not go all willy-nilly on their Special Reports when interrupting our regularly scheduled programming unless it is real news like a natural disaster or someone winning a championship. The whole Bill Barr/Donald Trump situation is NOT news worthy to be that important. That being said, I hope we see more of Brendan Fraser again, aside from Doom Patrol. From a caveman, to a adventurer to a jungle man and to a Robotman, he has done it all. Keep up it, good sir. You are always good for a laugh. :D
He's incredible ok this show! They're all incredible. The writers. The directors. Every single person involved with this show. Amazing
DOOM PATROL is legit one of the best shows on lol very happy i bought the app
Doom Patrol is the most original show out! I freakin love this show and I love the performers🔥🔥
Doom patrol is literally one the best Dc shows ever, literally every character has a moment to act goofy and serious when it's warranted. This show is basically equivalent to a R rated version of Guardians of the galaxy meets Deadpool and Legion.

Brendan Fraser is such a good actor & i love his dialogs with Diane Guerrero it always make me laugh, like when Jane was smoking & they trash talked Chief & were going to count to 3 before saying what animal he did it with to Dorothy but before they could say it he rolls in frame & had heard them haha gold 😂😂
I love Brendan!! Anyone else remember when he hosted Saturday Night Live the first time in the 90's and played Xena, I think a set piece fell on him or one of the other characters had him down with a sword and he couldn't stop laughing his wig fell off. And then in 1999 they did a spoof of 2 fat ladies cooking show and he shoved the crisco in his mouth. Then they did a spoof of Charlie Brown with giant grotesque heads. I was dead watching that.
SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM BACK ABD WHAT A ROLL FITS HIM SO WELL
Man he is such a sweet dude. Always loved his movies they were a lot of fun, but I've never seen him as a person. So relatable, he looks as nervous there as I would be. Brendan you're awesome!
Brendan has enough charisma to act through a metal robot costume. good casting choice.
