Well, of course, this is not Brendan's entire biography, but here are a few things about him, so you can get to know him more. Enjoy!
Birth name: Brendan James Fraser
Date of birth (location)
3 December 1968, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
The son of a Canadian travel executive who frequently moved his family, Brendan can claim affinity with Ottawa, Indianapolis, Detroit, Seattle, London and Rome. His early exposure to theatre, particularly in London, led him to Seattle's Cornish Institute. After graduation he found a minor role as Sailor #1 in River Phoenix's Dogfight (1991), then somewhat more substantial roles in Encino Man (1992) and School Ties (1992). He expresses a preference for playing "fish out of water" men. Five more years of supporting work led finally to the title role in George of the Jungle (1997), a role which fully utilized his charm and beefy good looks, as well as offering him a chance to show off his comic talents. He describes this role as the one which dramatically altered his career. Critical raves for his role in Gods and Monsters (1998) pointed to yet another dimension to his dramatic persona.
Married to Afton Smith on September 27, 1998. They don't have any children but they have two cute doggies, Wiley and Lucy, picture below.
Brendan and Afton share the same birthday.
Brendan has dual citizenship: American and Canadian.
Speaks French fluently.
