Hey if you haven't watched Blast from the Past or Bedazzled you haven't watched some of his best movies.

It's funny, I've always felt the exact opposite about him. For some reason, he just rubbed me the wrong way, and I thought actually seemed kinda smarmy, BUT after reading this article, and the comments posted here, I'm starting to realize that I was completely out of line in that assessment, and for that I'm truly sorry. Now if you'll excuse me, I feel I must go and rewatch some of his films, and interviews to properly atone for my transgressions, and egregious behavior.

Love this post! I'm so fed up of seeing articles about Brendan and others of that era with the tagline "you won't believe what so-and-so looks like now at age >50!!" spoiler alert, no-one over 50 looks like they did at 21, it's called aging. Gracefully or otherwise and frankly he may be older and heavier but I still would ;)

When I was 14/15 I had such a crush on Brendan! Around the time School Ties, Encino Man and With Honours came out. So many weekends spent watching those over and over!

If you've never seen him act with Sir Ian McKellen in Gods and Monsters, stop right now and watch it. Brilliant acting from Brenden as he goes toe to toe with one of our best actors ever!

Dudley Do-Right is missing here...another gold mine. Get it? Gold...mine....? I'll show myself out.

Brendan Fraser has he perfect combination of untouchable coolness with approachable warmness. You care about the character he plays because he is a truly remarkable artist and from all I heard a genuinely wonderful human being.

Anyone see him in MonkeyBone? Slightly disturbing. He is awesome in general, which is the only reason why I watched that whole movie.

Not a single tweet mentioning Encino Man included?

I remember googling whatever happened to him sometime ago and seeing something about him being blacklisted by Hollywood. Anyone know if that’s true?

Throwing in “Of Gods and Monsters”. Have secretly loved Brendan since seeing and reading about him in a photography book called “Men before 10am” where he answers the door sleepy-faced and speaking perfect French. Happy to see the love is spreading!

Don't forget all the little cameos in the Pauly Shore movies!

Interesting characters, flawlessly executed, while being a good human being. He's just awesome.

Anytime I'm asked favorite movie, my response is always "The Mummy". I stop whatever I'm doing and watch. That's what you gotta do for your fave! rick-60764...700925.jpg

Catch him early . . . Gods & Monsters, Encino Man . . . and a bit later in Monkey Bone. He's entertaining. That's his job, and he is very good at it. These are movies you want to see over and over again, movies that make you happy!

So, no one's gonna mention Encino Man? Interesting.

hey about encino man, and then the cameo i believe he had in son-in-law at the party where paulie shore goes hey i think i know that guy

I loved watching him run after the horse in George of the Jungle. What a babe!!!!! Always loved him!!!

Why did he disappear? He was the flavor of the month for a while and then poof.

suddenly feel the need to rewatch journey to the centre of the earth and encino man

The Mummy is still one of my favorite movies! ❤
