The hell ever happened to him?

'Bedazzled'

'George of the Jungle'

Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

touché.

luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

That one where he lived underground and then came out from underground.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Word is, that movie he did with Michael Caine is actually very good. But he'll always be Encino Man to me.

The Quiet American is very good, and very chilling when you find out the book was written in 1956.
Christopher Walken is great as his dad in "That one where he lived underground and then came out from underground."

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

Quiet American. Gods And Monsters. Classic.

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

OMG

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) .... DJ Drake/Himself/Voice of Tasmanian Devil and She-Devil

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

VOICE OF TASMANIAN DEVIL. WTF.

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if he got paid twice for doing the voice of Tasmanian Devil AND She-Devil.

Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I liked the Quiet American, but I like all foreign correspondent movies!

.adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

I need to find footage of him recording this.

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

From the Sun-Times:

Q. How did you end up doing the voice for the Tasmanian Devil?

A. I used to get thrown out of the classroom for doing that. I did the voice one day and [director] Eric Goldberg was like, "Who did that?" And they kind of got me on a soundstage and went, "Do it again," and so I did. I feel like I have uber bragging rights now because the squeeze toy, I think, is yours truly.

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:47 (twenty years ago)

ENCINO MAN

Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

buh-ddy

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)


His light-comedy talents would've been far better employed in an earlier era.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

I'm a little upset HE, of all PEOPLE, did the voice of such a classic actor as Taz.

jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

x-post
Like radio drama!

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Well he didn't ALWAYS do Taz.
:-D

Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Was Taz Mel Blanc or someone else?

Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Dudley Do-Right! (note, I haven't seen it, but the trailer made it look almost unforgivably awful)

The Mummy films were watchable nonsense. Otherwise, meh. He's quite ugly, but one of my flatmates used to watch California Man (Encino Man to you Amerkins) and Airheads a lot and claim it wasn't because she fancied Brendan Fraser. I don't know if I'd rather admit to fancying him or finding Airheads funny.

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

All was Mel Blanc

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC.

Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

Classic only for being the acne-riddled patient in Brain Candy who complains about getting the placebo pill. ("My face tells me it's sugar.") Super class in that film for appearing again later as the same character rushing out of the lab with all the homosexual men after they've been discovered using the lab as a meeting place.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

NOT radio drama. In the '40s, they knew what to do with hunky men with comedic chops (ie, Joel McCrea in Sturges films).

He's way better than the movie in "Gods & Monsters."

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

My mom thinks Brendan Fraser is like hotter than anything on earth.

Allyzay Needs Legs More (allyzay), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

he was good as Dr Cox's brother-in-law in Scrubs

Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

The Brendan Fraser conversation:

Me: Oh look, it's Brendan Fraser. I find him very attractive.
Other half: You do? But he's really ugly.
Me: Then I suggest you do not look at him. In fact, why not leave the room?

accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

three years pass...

So he's all demi-famous again now. (The weird thing is that that Journey to the Center of the Earth remake has been hovering in the top five since its release about a month back.)

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 3 August 2008 19:14 (sixteen years ago)

Morbius OTM upthread. He's like Tom Selleck without the 'stache: a modest talent for light comedy that would have been exploited quite well during the studio system.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 3 August 2008 19:23 (sixteen years ago)

I meant Fraser, of course. I think.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 3 August 2008 19:24 (sixteen years ago)

Dr. Morbius in Quigley Down Under

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 3 August 2008 19:27 (sixteen years ago)

Gods and Morbius.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 3 August 2008 19:32 (sixteen years ago)

Dud and a half. Seems he can only go gimmicky or ridiculously absurd movies like Encino Man, Airheads, Bedazzled, or that one where he played the kid in a basement.

And he's supposed to be BRITISH in The Mummy?

Wow. "COOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWARD!"

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 3 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)

But those aren't even his best movies.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 3 August 2008 21:21 (sixteen years ago)

I like Brendan Fraser.

AlanSmithee, Sunday, 3 August 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

you would.

s1ocki, Sunday, 3 August 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago)

I have so much love for the guy cos The Mummy films are our go-to films when drunk with a friend of mine. Also, I'm all sad cos that friend of mine is on a trip in China so I wont be able to go see the third Mummy movie (WITH JET LI OMG!!!!) with him ;_;

Jibe, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:17 (sixteen years ago)

my friend basically implied the newest Mummy movie is as essential as a cd of Ned Beatty singing the blues...

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago)

classic for George of the Jungle alone. i like him a lot.

jed_, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:27 (sixteen years ago)

Airheads

CaptainLorax, Monday, 4 August 2008 03:37 (sixteen years ago)

he seems like a decent guy. he's funny in bedazzled.

amateurist, Monday, 4 August 2008 04:10 (sixteen years ago)

he seems to have accepted the roles fate has permitted him.

amateurist, Monday, 4 August 2008 04:11 (sixteen years ago)

pops up in john cleese's special on wine, for some reason. Is kinda funny in that.

kingfish, Monday, 4 August 2008 04:16 (sixteen years ago)

With Honors is v. good. Although that's mainly due to Patrick Dempsey telling him "my cock is cleaner than your bum".

Hard like armour, Monday, 4 August 2008 06:43 (sixteen years ago)

one year passes...

Because I know you're all concerned:

http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/brad-peyton-in-brendan-fraser-out-of-journey-to-the-center-of-the-earth-sequel/

Anyway, Furry Vengeance. Which made $2 million more in its own opening weekend than MacGruber did.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:21 (fifteen years ago)

eleven years pass...

he's getting very popular again all of the sudden, good for him

frogbs, Friday, 13 August 2021 22:22 (three years ago)

I had not heard he was a victim of sexual assault!
