Biography: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, Fraser and his family led a fairly peripatetic existence, living in locales as varied as Ottawa, London, Rome, and Seattle. During his time in London, Fraser became interested in theater and eventually enrolled in Seattle's Cornish Institute for training.

After an early appearance in "Dogfight" (1991), Fraser got his break in 1992's "Encino Man" as a Stone-Age man unfrozen in modern-day California. He went on to gain audience prominence in diverse roles such as a Jewish football player in an all-WASP environment in "School Ties" (1992), a grunged-out musician in "Airheads"... Full Biography
