Seamlessly transitioning from smart independent films to action-packed blockbusters, Brendan Fraser continues to garner widespread critical acclaim for his versatile, inspired performances as well as his keen eye for selecting thought-provoking material.
Fraser recently completed filming the third installment of The Mummy, the Universal Pictures franchise which cemented Fraser as a major box-office draw. Stephen Sommers' 1999 smash hit action/horror adventure, The Mummy, was an ambitious retooling of the 1932 horror classic, with Fraser cast as an American serving in the French Foreign Legion who becomes involved with an English archaeological expedition and the ancient secrets they unleash. In 2001, Fraser re-teamed with Sommers and co-star Rachel Weisz on the film's sequel, The Mummy Returns. The first two films have to date grossed over $800 million worldwide. The third installment, The Mummy: Tomb of the Emperor Dragon, is set for release on August 8th, 2008.
In addition to New Line Cinema's Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, Fraser will also star in New Line's family adventure/fantasy film, Inkheart, opposite Helen Mirren, Paul Bettany, Jim Broadbent and Andy Serkis. The film will be released in January 2009.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Fraser recently starred in The Air I Breathe, a drama based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. The film had its premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and also stars Forest Whitaker, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Julie Delphy, Emile Hirsch and Kevin Bacon. It was released in February 2008 by Think Films.
Fraser has been in a string of some of the most successful independent films of the past decade including Lionsgate's Academy-award winning Best Picture, Crash, directed by Paul Haggis; Phillip Noyce's The Quiet American, based on Graham Greene's 1955 thriller of the same name; and Bill Condon's Gods and Monsters, opposite Sir Ian McKellen and Lynn Redgrave,
Fraser's additional film credits include Walt Disney Productions' $100 million smash hit, George of the Jungle; Looney Tunes: Back in Action for Warner Bros.; Harold Ramis' Bedazzled, co-starring Elizabeth Hurley and Frances O'Connor; Henry O. Selick's Monkey Bone; Hugh Wilson's Blast From the Past with Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek; and the live-action Dudley Do-Right with Sarah Jessica Parker and Alfred Molina.
Brendan is also noted for his acerbic-witted role starring opposite Shirley MacLaine in Richard Benjamin's Mrs. Winterbourne, and his performances in Les Mayfield's Encino Man, Robert Mandel's School Ties, Alek Keshishian's With Honors, Michael Lehmann's Airheads, Michael Ritchie's The Scout and his critically acclaimed performance in Showtime's "The Twilight of the Golds."
Fraser's diverse theatre roster includes his 2001 appearance at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, in London in the West End production of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Directed by Tony Award winner Anthony Page, Fraser played the role of 'Brick' opposite Frances O'Connor as Maggie Pollitt. Brendan received high praise for his work as the anxious writer in John Patrick Shanley's "Four Dogs and a Bone" at the Geffen Playhouse in which he co-starred with Martin Short, Parker Posey, and Elizabeth Perkins for director Lawrence Kasdan.
Born in Indianapolis and raised in Europe and Canada, Brendan has been dedicated to honing his craft since an early age of 12 and began attending theater when his family lived in London. He attended high school at Toronto's Upper Canada College and received a B.F.A. in acting from the Actor's Conservatory, Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. Brendan currently resides in Connecticut.
