Birth Name: Brendan James Fraser
A muscular, darkly handsome actor who defies easy categorization, Brendan Fraser has an enviable versatility that has allowed him to be equally convincing in comedies, dramas, and adventure films alike. The son of a Canadian tourism executive, Fraser was born in Indianapolis on December 3, 1968. Thanks to his father's job, Brendan and his family led a fairly peripatetic existence, living in...

(on the types of roles he has played)
Brendan: I like playing fish-out of-water guys. I imagine it's because growing up, my family moved around a lot, so I was always having to redefine myself in new places. Plus, I was a scrawny kid and I found I could avoid getting clobbered by joking myself out of tight spots. I try to bring that humor to roles. (edit) Brendan: I like maintaining a low profile. I'm of the belief that a little mystery goes a long way. (edit) Brendan: I seemed to often be the outsider. My family moved every few years and I was always the new kid, trying to fit in. As the new boy you had to learn how to assert yourself. Like an actor you had to constantly redefine yourself. (edit) Brendan: I don't take myself too seriously. I think if you can treat comedy as normal then inevitably you will get more laughs. Even in adventure hokum you have to stick to the rules and parameters - then give the character a heart. (edit) (about the movie “Crash”)
Brendan: The desired effect of this film is to stimulate conversation. You can't walk out of this complacent unless you're completely jaded. It doesn't offer up any solutions, which is nice. I don't like to get patronized when I go to movies. I want to be left to make up my own mind. If I'm angry or if I'm confused or if I'm conflicted by something, then that's an effective film. (edit)
