Brendan Fraser caps comeback with Oscar nomination for The Whale
Entertainment reporter
The Whale has now led film studios and fans to re-evaluate the Mummy and George of the Jungle star's talents. Referring to his character, he said he felt the need "to be the voice for those who live the way that Charlie does", and "to depict him with dignity and with respect in a way that we haven't seen that character played on screen before".
He took on further dramatic roles in Gods and Monsters, The Quiet American and Crash, as well as fantasy roles in Bedazzled and Journey to the Center of the Earth.But his film work slowed from the late 2000s, amid years of injuries sustained while performing stunts, which resulted in operations on his spine, knee and vocal cords.
