Early-life: Brendan James Fraser was born on December 3, 1968, in Indiana. He has three older brothers. Thanks to his father, a Canadian diplomat, Brendan had a nomadic childhood. He was raised in Holland, Switzerland and Canada and fell in love with theatre, partly thanks to being inspired by seeing his first professional play in London. That led him to study acting at Seattle's Cornish Institute.
Career: Brendan made a string of forgettable comedies such as California Man and Airheads before George of the Jungle set him on the road to success in 1997. He became a 1990s answer to Indiana Jones after The Mummy struck box office gold in 1999. He has also appeared in acclaimed dramas Gods and Monsters, The Passion of Darkly Noon, and comedy remake Bedazzled. He scored another hit with The Mummy Returns, in 2001, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008. His eclectic CV also includes The Quiet American, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Crash, Journey to the Center of the Earth, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and Extraordinary Measures.
