At Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Brendan intended to pursue a degree in acting. He was cast as a sailor in the 1991 film “Dogfight,” but on the way there, he stopped in Hollywood and decided to stay.
Career
As a friend of a murder victim in a reenactment, Fraser made his television debut in an episode of “America’s Most Wanted” from 1998.
He co-starred in the 1992 film “Encino Man” with Sean Astin and Pauly Shore and made an appearance in the sports drama “School Ties” the same year.
Brendan made guest roles in the 1994 movies “With Honors,” “The Scout,” “Airheads,” and “In the Army Now” (again working with Pauly Shore), and he played the title character in the 1997 movie “George of the Jungle,” which earned $174.4 million at the box office.
After “George of the Jungle,” he released “Gods and Monsters” in 1998, “Blast from the Past,” “Dudley Do-Right,” and the $416.4 million box office juggernaut “The Mummy,” followed by sequels with $435 million and $403.4 million, respectively.
Afterward, Brendan had appearances in a series of films, such as “Bedazzled” (2000), “The Quiet American” (2002), “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” (2003), “Crash” (2004), “Journey to the Heart of the Earth” (2008), “Inkheart,” and others, before taking a break from acting in 2014.
He is primarily known for his work in films, although he has also been in a number of television programs, including “The Simpsons” (1998), “King of the Hill” (2000 and 2005), “Scrubs” (2002 and 2004), and “The Affair” (2016–2017).
He also provided the Robotman voice in the Titans (2018) movie and its “Doom Patrol” 2019 spinoff. Fraser will portray a multibillionaire futurist in “Professionals,” a 10-part series for the Swedish streaming service Viaplay, in 2020.
In a 2001 London production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” Brendan received plaudits for his portrayal of Brick, and he has acted as an executive producer on a number of his projects, including “The Last Time” (2006).
Movie salaries
In 1994, Brendan earned $1.5 million for the movie The Scout. He earned $4 million in 1999 from Duddley Do-Right and The Mummy together. He earned $10 million with Bedazzled in 2000.
The 2001 film The Mummy Returns brought in $12.5 million. He earned $14 million for the 2008 Mummy episode. He received a $10 million salary for “Furry Vengeance” (2010).
He accepted a pay cut of up to $1 million in the same year to co-star in “Extraordinary Measures” with Harrison Ford. The revenue from these films alone totals $57 million.
Personal Relationship
Brendan Fraser, who holds dual citizenship with the United States and Canada, speaks French with ease. He serves on the board of directors for FilmAid International and enjoys photography.
His body has suffered as a result of the feats he has performed for his movies, and he has undergone multiple surgeries. Brendan suffered various back operations, voice cord surgery, and partial knee replacement over a 7-year period.
He claimed in 2018 that Philip Berk, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, had sexually assaulted him in 2003, and he feels that speaking out about it has damaged his professional reputation.
Afton Smith Marriage
On September 27, 1998, Brendan wed Afton Smith. On July 4th, 1993, they got to know one other at a barbecue at Winona Ryder’s house. Griffin, Holden, and Leland were the three sons Brendan and Afton had together (born in 2006).
They shared a Beverly Hills mansion while they were all living together. Brendan’s spokeswoman acknowledged that the couple was divorcing at the time of the $3 million sale of that property in April 2007. Brendan and Afton ended their relationship formally in 2008.
The Alimony Saga
Unfortunately, Brendan’s divorce took place just as his movie career was reaching its pinnacle of success. He received a $14 million acting salary from the second “Mummy” movie in the exact same year as their divorce.
Yet, he did earn $10 million from the film “Furry Vengeance” a year after the divorce was finalized.
Afton claimed Brendan’s salary from Furry Vengeance was part of a subsequent alimony dispute with her since she claimed he received the $7.5 million role’s initial offer in August 2009 while they were still in the process of discussing a divorce settlement.
As part of the terms of their divorce, Brendan agreed to give Afton a settlement of little less than $8.7 million, which was nearly exactly half his net worth at the time of the divorce.
He also promised to provide Afton with monthly cash of $75,000, divided between $25,000 for child support and $50,000 for alimony.
To pay for these two expenses alone, which came to $900,000, Brendan essentially needed to earn approximately $2 million annually before taxes. The alimony will last for 10 years, terminating in 2019. (or until Afton remarried—which she did not—which she did).
Brendan’s earnings reached their pinnacle in 2008, as was previously mentioned. Following a sharp decline in his career during the ensuing years, he petitioned the court in March 2013 to have his alimony payments reduced.
Brendan was no longer receiving the multi-million dollar income he had been receiving when the arrangement was reached several years earlier, thus according to his 2013 files, he was actually losing $87,000 every month through alimony, mortgages, and various other obligations.
Brendan further claimed that this had occurred since the conditions of the divorce stated that he could only have his alimony reduced if his annual income fell below $3 million.
Brendan said that after all expenses were taken into account, his monthly expenses were $87,000 greater than his monthly income. Uncertainty surrounds whether a second modification of alimony was approved.
Afton’s attorney responded to Brendan’s allegations by pointing out that Brendan earned $10 million for “Furry Vengeance” in 2009, was still able to work, and was still able to earn good money.
He was nevertheless able to pay a little over $4 million to purchase and furnish a new home for himself during this time.
His youngest kid will turn 18 in 2024, and a prorated portion of the child support payments will probably continue until then.
Real estate
Brendan and Afton paid $675,000 in 1996 for a Beverly Hills house with 3,948 square feet. They sold it for $3 million in 2007 just a few months before announcing their separation.
Although, their previous residence together was put up for sale in October 2021 for $8.75 million.
After the divorce, Brendan relocated to Bedford, New York, where he allegedly paid $3,389,779 for a horse property on several acres. Afterward, he spent $755,496 on the house’s furnishings.
Recognition and Honors
For Brendan’s work in “Still Breathing,” Fraser received a Golden Space Needle Award in 1997 from the Seattle International Film Festival.
He received the 2004 Internet Film & Television Association Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on “Scrubs” in this capacity.
In 2008, Brendan was given the ShoWest Award for Exceptional Decade of Career in Cinema. He also won a number of additional awards with his “Crash” co-stars, including the Gold Derby Award, the Hollywood Film Festival Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award.
