After years of absence, Brendan Fraser returns in “The Whale” on March 8, 2023. He is one of the serious contenders to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
A key player in the 2000s
Brendan Fraser was a must-see face in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The actor made his name with the general public in the comedy parodying Tarzan, George of the jungle, released in 1997. But it is above all the role of Rick O’Connel in The Mummy in 1999 and its sequels which blew him up and made him a strong face of the early 2000s. We also saw him in Collision, a drama film released in 2004 which won three Oscars.
