A pure soul? You know him personally? Or are you just another celebrity fawning dimwit?
It's disgusting that Hollywood is full of so many sexual predators who pray on adults and children who just want to be actors! I had wondered where Brendan went, and to hear what happened to such a good person and dedicated actor, it's just sad. So proud of Brendan that he has found those who appreciate his talent, and gave him another shot at what he should have never lost. Good on you Brendan!

He is an inspiration! People can see how a person can face so many hardships yet finally get their redemption.
I missed him so much all these years and wondered what had happened to him. Hollywood is a beautiful yet scary place. I am really glad he's back and that after all these challenging years he finally got a deserving recognition. What a fantastic comeback! He deserved more than the Oscar quite frankly; however, I am very grateful he held true to himself, earning him a prestigious award. I love you, Brendan Fraser, thank you for making my childhood a wonderful experience with your superb acting.
The Whale is probably the saddest, most depressing movie I have ever seen in my life. I don't know if another movie could ever surpass the level of sadness I felt consistently building up throughout the course of the film. Those actors should be incredibly proud of that performance. Awards absolutely justified. I would have given a supporting actress oscar to Sadie Sink as well.

I had such a huge crush on Brendan as a kid. First in George of the Jungle and then The Mummy movies. Sad to see him miss most of his young life doing movies. But ultimately he got what he deserves, not only an Oscar but the same love and support back that he had around 20 years back ❤
Brendan Fraser is one of my favorite actors. He is iconic.
He deserved to win an Oscar, after all that hardships he endured. And, just watching this devastates me that the guy,who was like a hero to me, in my younger years, was suffering from so many unfortunate circumstances that were completely out of his control.

@@pattyrech4471 No but his performance in "the whale"is. What's your point?
At the 2022 Venice Film Festival, Darren Aronofsky said that it took him ten years to cast this film. Casting the main role of Charlie was a huge challenge until he saw a trailer for the Brazilian film Journey to the End of the Night (2006) starring Brendan Fraser, where it "clicked" for the director who would later cast Fraser as lead.
He's one of the few on my Protect At All Costs list. It doesn't matter if he's playing Link from Encino Man, or Charlie from The Whale, he's a treasure. A humble, beautiful man with an obviously good heart, and deep soul.

I am so glad he has been Resurrected as an actor. He seems to be such a kind person

Brendan Frasier was my Hollywood hero in the 90’s The Mummy all I wanted was to be like him, a total legendary badass
What a incredible comeback dispite the wickedness in high places of Hollywood this man kept his integrity which caused from to be blackballed! What a full circle moment I'm wishing this man the Best of whatever endeavors he has planned for his career 👏👏👏
He was such, and is, such a beloved actor. I am so sorry for his awful experience and the difficulties he has faced. His fans are happy to see him back and I hope that he is rewarded now with both financially and emotionally.
And don't forget his excellent appearances in Scrubs, very funny, but ultimately heartbreaking role.
Brendan has always been one of my favorite actors, I think I've seen all his films. In so happy he's back, doing better and finally get the accolades he deserves. Love him...
It's revolting how the powerful in the industry gets to wield around their power at the expense of the people below them when they don't get what they want. I'm glad his story was made public and succeeded to redeem his career. He's one of my favorite actors.
His eye expressions throughout the film, facial expressions and voice were very powerful and affecting. The whole cast was outstanding. He really pulled off an amazing job. Well done! He displayed the profound tragedy of the human condition and deserves such recognition for it

@brendanfraser01_bbc1 I can’t believe you replied! It started with Encino Man. It was a fun movie but what caught my attention was how so much was emoted on your face and you comedic timing was perfect. But of course the Mummy movies sang to my heart. When I saw you were in the Whale I was over the moon. I used to be very overweight and I knew you would convey the vulnerability and pain. In everything I have ever seen you in you have been able to show with your face and eyes what that character is feeling and a kindness. I look forward to hopefully many new parts with depth of soul. You have lived and grown and it will show in your acting.
I’ve always found him to be a really good actor. His roles didn’t always showcase his talent but it was always there. I went back and watched blast from the past recently and was impressed by his performance. It was much better than I remembered. The script was nothing great but I was impressed by what he made of it.

You can tell when people in power are lying if they will say the other persons version is wrong. Same thing happened to me when I confronted someone for being a creep. They said how I experienced things were wrong when there was no room for misinterpretation of the situation- I definitely was not misunderstanding the situation.
