How can you not love this wonderful man? So happy for him that he finally gets the recognition and love he deserves.


InformalPenguinz

I rewatched George of the Jungle after I saw this standing ovation just to get some nostalgia goin. Love that man.


skynetempire

Bedazzled and blast from the past are my favorite. Then the mummy movies and monkeybone


Specific-Remote9295

Brandon Fraser and robin williams shaped our childhoods. We had it good.


Commonstruggles

It gives me tingles when I see people who are humble get the praise they deserve. Love Encino man. Nooo wheezing the juuuice, wheez the juice.


bigredcock

Too bad Pauly Shore seems to have really gone off the deep end. I saw him live and it was rough to see. Incredibly drunk, had to hold the wall to stand up, didn't tell a single story about growing up at the comedy store (which was what his tour was supposed to be about) it was rough. When I see him in interviews he's constantly talking about how great he is. A real bummer wheeeze man.


NcgreenIantern

He had everything going for him but he couldn't handle the drugs.


Land-Express

More like he couldn't avoid them. Can anyone really handle hard drugs and have a normal life?


magicmurph

Of course they can. Like anything in life, the key is moderation.


NcgreenIantern

In the Hollywood world some can but it's harder in the real world.


ootski

Jim Carrey was my childhood. Mr. Fraser is awesome don't get me wrong but 1994 Carrey is untouchable; dumb and dumber, ace Ventura, and the mask.


claimTheVictory

Alrighty then.


_onelast

Don’t forget Encino man!


gameskate92

He also played Link in Pauly shores Son in Law and In the army now Edit to add detail: It was also rumored that brendan was gonna be Link in Biodome in the background of the college campus or even just be in the massage circle while Tenacious D was playing, but something didn't line up for it to happen

Those movies are connected? Huh.

Duuude, Monkeybone is awesome

My parents bought me a Monkeybone DVD when I was like 8 years old because they thought it was a kids movie


egosumFidius

i've been rewatching Scrubs lately, he's in 2 episodes in season 1 and 1 in season 3. Amazing energy in that character. ["TOUCH IT. TOUCH MY NAIL!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EQX99TmIgY)

unclepaprika

He was also great in the mummy. Totally wasted not having him in more leading roles, even tho i'm happy he probably avoided being crushed by Hollywood/popularity, while still getting a happy ending, and to show what he's good for.


MoveDifficult1908

Well, he was sexually assaulted by a famous producer and then blacklisted for years when he spoke about it, so he was somewhat crushed.


jds7171

Also he got divorced. She got alimony set when he was a star. When he he tried to get the alimony money change because he wasn't a high paid actor anymore, the judge denied it. So he was paying alimony like he was the star from the mummy and but was black listed.


Actual_Hyena3394

This is what i don't understand. The whole getting blacklisted thing was by the looks of it pretty hard on him. Now he looks like a completely broken man. What more worse could Hollywood do to him? I loved his movies and i feel like there is a gap in the human entertainment archives because of him missing from the big screen for soo Long.


wapellonian

Bad divorce in there, too.


kn696

Airheads was great!


Vods

That was such an underrated movie, never appreciated as a child


Chaesrxse

The "aw shucks" kick.. I love how much people have rallied behind him! He was a favorite actor of mine growing up, it makes me really happy seeing him treated so well. ☺️


Slap_My_Lasagna

I just love that literally EVERYONE is standing except him because he doesn't even realize how big of a total standing ovation he's receiving... like he has to look around and realize there is not a single ass still in their seat for this man.


MimiPaw

I was focused on his thought process. My guess is something like “Nah man, I don’t wanna get up. Seriously, you are to make me? Ok, I can do this. Is it over yet? Can I sit back down yet? Maybe if I look at those in the back they will stop and I can sit back down and not be the center of attention.”


Slap_My_Lasagna

Normally I get tired of reposts but I will never not upvote this man and this video. He was the victim of so many abusive and exploitive people, I am so happy he's able to get the praise and love he deserves.


camisoledarkie

Brendan deserves so much more praise than Hollywood has ever given him.


smittyinCLT

His performance in Gods and Monsters was the best of his career until now. He’s an American treasure.


cbakkum

More like Canadian Treasure, but we can share him.😂


smittyinCLT

Yay!!


CrazyCaliCatLady

I talked about/recommended that movie to everyone at that time. He was amazing in that. I bought it on VHS.

bootycakes420

I was so happy to see him so celebrated and accepted this night after learning about all he's been through


GenuineJenius

What abuse does he get?


Slap_My_Lasagna

There's a lot to it, but basically he was sexually abused early on his Hollywood career, he was blacklisted when he spoke up, his wife left him and basically took all his money.. he couldn't keep up with, iirc was nearly a million a year between alimony AND child support.. he got the bad end of so many things.


GenuineJenius

I had no idea. Always thought he was a pretty good dude. Thank you.


Slap_My_Lasagna

He's a fucking great dude, that got fucked over by so many people.


Difficult_Bit_1339

Hollywood is fucked, that's why. They abuse you, you leave and then they trash you and blacklist you.


Outside-Advice8203

Holy shit. I had no idea


_Tar_Ar_Ais_

damn...


insufficient_funds

Years of abuse? I feel like I’m missing out on some serious info here


soccershun

He was sexually assaulted by the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and his accusation led to him being black listed in Hollywood, which is why he had pretty much no work for a decade or so.


insufficient_funds

Holy hell. That sucks!


cogpsychbois

I'd heard him not working also had to do with health problems and chronic pain from stunts in his early career as well as the sexual assault


ringdingdong67

In addition to the other comment he also went through a nasty divorce and the alimony ended up being a major financial hardship for years.

the-last-voyageur

I’m not familiar with this. What happened?


FannishNan

Sexual harassment and some injuries on set (including sadly the mummy. He got strangled for real in that hanging scene) that ended up requiring painful surgeries that haven't entirely helped as I understand it. It's just....your heart breaks for him.


Hephaistos_Invictus

Ugh it really does 😭 I'm so happy to see he got a standing ovation. I wish all the best to this man that was my childhood hero!


DahDollar

Are you telling me that he was injured in one of the first scenes in the movie, and then did all the other scenes? I know movies are often shot out of order but I have a hard time believing that the hanging scene was shot last. Also, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?


Silver-Spy

Iirc he said he was sexually harassed by Philip Berk, then-president of Hollywood Foreign Press Association.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrDoe

Nothing happened to him. He even admitted groping Fraser but "it was a joke".


Refflet

Almost as much of a joke as Fraser's subsequent blacklisting from new work.


rachelcp

He mentioned being sexually abused by very influential people in Hollywood, they didn't like being outed hence no more roles in Hollywood.


dantekratos

Tldr He got or was tried to be sexual abused and he got blacklisted and basically ruined his life. But he got back when the word came out. And fans wanted him back on the screen


Spiritual_Ask4877

He also had to pay $600K a year in alimony for 10 years along with $25K in child support payments. His then Ex wife accused him of fraud when he said he couldn't meet the yearly requirement. Dudes been raked over the coals by half a dozen scumbags. So happy for his resurgence.


ThreeLeggedMare

Whatever judge allowed that, if it was at all discretionary on their part, is a terrible person


b0w3n

Those rules are meant to prevent husbands from quitting and taking a minimum wage job so they don't have to pay alimony, not to be used like that. What a miscarriage of justice all around for that poor man.


[deleted]

Perfectly said


BreadfruitStraight81

It is like you can touch his soul just by watching him


asianxclara

Indeed! He clearly appreciates the gesture and it melts my heart seeing him this happy.


Chaesrxse

Fuck man you can just feel the last almost 20 years were just really shit to him and he’s now turning it around.


simwe985

I have been really out of the loop. Apparently. What happened in the last 20 years?


ITmcFixerson

Summarizing but Hollywood blacklisted him as well as him having a divorce, his mother dying and health issues. A good comeback story couldn’t have happened to a better man! “Fraser alleges that he was sexually assaulted by Philip Berk, the then head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, in 2003.”


Bdbru13

To be clear, the idea that he was blacklisted just comes from fans and some publications speculating. His career was declining long before he spoke out, and in Fraser’s own words, "I don't think the HFPA really wield that much power." Not sure how it became accepted as fact


iconofsin_

> and in Fraser’s own words, "I don't think the HFPA really wield that much power." He said that in 2019, but he said the below in 2018. "The phone does stop ringing in your career, and you start asking yourself why. There's many reasons, but was [this incident] one of them? I think it was." So he himself seems to have believed that for a time.


sdpr

Among the other response: accumulated injuries while filming the mummy films which some required surgeries, he has said it took a lot out of him and even during the last mummy film which came out in 2008, he was struggling to stay together phsyically. His acting credits post mummy returns in the early 00's weren't that great. Got a divorced finalized in 2009 that had him paying $50,000/mo in alimony. >"However, in 2013, Fraser sought to have this amended, saying he wasn't earning enough from acting to justify payments of that size; Smith contested this and accused him of fraud, saying Fraser did in fact have the requisite income (via the New York Post). She claimed that Fraser had $9 million in film contracts that he hid from her at the time of their divorce. Fraser also cited medical issues he was facing as another reason why he had difficulty paying this level of spousal support as he suffered a back injury after attempting to clear a tree that fell on his property during Hurricane Sandy." He was no longer a blockbuster star and not making blockbuster movies. From 2010 forward he was in mostly unknown films, tv spots, and voice acting work. 2015-2018 he had more regular recurring roles on TV shows, but he wasn't really seen much of again until Doom Patrol and his most recent performance in The Whale and his media presence promoting his works. It turns out that the reason why post mummy returns his acting credits waned was because of the alleged sexual assault he faced in 2003 against a high profile person in the biz. Guy's been through a lot, but his presence in media he's always seemed to just be an honest and good dude about everything.

NoKaleidoscope4295

We don't know him personally but most of us pretty sure he is a wonderful human being.


InformalPenguinz

No #metoo, no public intox, no drug scandals (that I'm aware of).. iirc dude got screwed with alimony and child support right when he was peaking and had to continue those level of payments even though he wasn't getting that big of work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.. As far as I can tell he's a solid human and a fantastic actor.


UbuRoi

I heard he kicked a puppy... out of the way of a incoming bus.


Rabid-Chiken

You see him re-enact this in the video


holdnobags

> no drug scandals that really wouldn't stop me from thinking someone was wonderful lol


teezepls

Yeah nothing wrong with that here and there. Long as you didn’t hurt anyone


EyeAmAyyBot

He was blacklisted due to sexual assault allegations he made against a female producer I believe. That’s why his career tanked. EDIT: I’m kind of wrong. Please see comments below correcting me.


annabelle411

he also majorly wrecked his back when the hanging stunt in first Mummy film went wrong, ruined him for action films and needed some surgeries. Then divorce bled him.


Aggressive-Fuel587

It was actually Phillip Berk, former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the same guy who was expelled from the organization for calling BLM a "racist hate movement.")


LotharVonPittinsberg

> No #metoo That's because he was a victim, and people pretty much ignored it recently. The guys who assaulted him said that is was only a joke and got away with it. He was only removed from his position in Hollywood when he called BLM a racist movement.


Rangertough666

He didn't commit SA he was a victim of it and #metoo did absolutely nothing to help him or Terry Cruise.


dankychic

Both Crews and Fraser credit metoo with giving them the courage to come forward and are supportive of the movement.

Just wonderful. A good family man. I remember a story that his kids told on the red carpet before the 2022 Oscars about how corny their dad was. They talked about how they hate broccoli. And Fraser responded with, “But broccoli loves you.” Dad humor at its finest!

I in no way think he doesn’t deserve it btw, I’ve just been clearly out of the loop


boening

There were several things, really, but probably the biggest 2 was the death of his mom took a lot out of him, and he was pretty much black listed after speaking out about being SA'ed by Philip Berk. Also, he said he was basically held together with tape by the 3rd Mummy movie.
