Brendan Fraser is the square-jawed, fresh-faced star of 1999's The Mummy and its sequels, The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008). Fraser first gained notice for goofy roles in Encino Man (1992, with Sandra Hess) and George of the Jungle (1997). He then found critical success in Gods and Monsters (1998, starring Ian McKellen) and box office success in The Mummy (co-starring Rachel Weisz). Along the way he appeared in comedies and dramas, from Blast From the Past (1999) to The Quiet American (2002, starring Michael Caine). Eager and able on the big screen, his other films include Crash (2004, starring Don Cheadle), The Air I Breathe (2007, with Sarah Michelle Gellar) and the 2008 screen version of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Extra credit: As his character from Encino Man, Linkovitch Chomofsky, Fraser has also appeared in the films Son in Law (1993) and In the Army Now (1994).
