Brendan Fraser was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on December 3rd, 1968, to Peter and Carol Fraser and is a dual Canadian-American citizen. This hunk graduated from goofy roles in Encino Man (1992) and George of the Jungle (1997) to critical success in Gods and Monsters (1998, starring Ian McKellen) and box office success in The Mummy (1999, co-starring Rachel Weisz). Along the way Fraser has appeared in comedies and dramas, from Blast From the Past (1999) to The Quiet American (2002, starring Michael Caine), not quite breaking into major stardom but seemingly eager and able to play a wide variety of roles.
