A versatile actor with a unique talent for tapping into the humane and often lighthearted nature of his characters, Brendan Fraser continues to display his diversity with a series of upcoming projects.

Fraser is currently working on the animated/live-action film "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" for Warner Bros. and director Joe Dante. The film follows Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Tweety and Fraser from Hollywood to Las Vegas to Africa in search of Fraser's father and the mysterious Blue Diamond.

Fraser reprised his role as the French Foreign Legion soldier Rick O'Connell in the sequel to the 1999 hit "The Mummy" and is reunited with his co-stars Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and Arnold Vosloo. The sequel has grossed over $210 million internationally to date.

Fraser cemented his reputation as a major film presence in Stephen Sommers' 1999 smash hit action/horror adventure, "The Mummy," for Universal Pictures. An ambitious retooling of the 1932 horror classic, this new version starred Fraser as an American serving in the French Foreign Legion, who becomes involved with an English archaeological expedition--and the ancient secrets they unleash. His thoughtful and understated performance that same year in Bill Condon's Academy Award winning, "Gods and Monsters," gained Fraser wide-spread critical notices. Starring Sir Ian McKellen and Lynn Redgrave, the film is set in the "golden days" of Hollywood, and chronicles the controversial life and death of "Frankenstein" director James Whale.

His recent film credits include Harold Ramis' "Bedazzled," co-starring Elizabeth Hurley and Frances O'Connor, Henry O. Selick's "Monkey Bone" , Hugh Wilson's "Blast From the Past" with Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek.

In 1997, Fraser won hearts both young and old around the world in the title role of Walt Disney Productions' $100 million smash hit, "George of the Jungle," based on the 1960's Tarzan spoof created by Jay Ward. Directed by Sam Weisman, and co-starring Leslie Mann, "George of the Jungle" follows the adventures of the gentle ape-man as he collides with love, civilization and a large number of stationary objects. That same year his performance in Jim Robinson's romantic comedy, "Still Breathing," earned him the Best Actor prize at the 1997 Seattle Film Festival.

In addition to his acerbic-witted role starring opposite Shirley MacLaine in Richard Benjamin's "Mrs. Winterbourne," Brendan is also noted for his performances in Les Mayfield's "Encino Man," Robert Mandel's "School Ties," Alek Keshishian's "With Honors," Michael Lehmann's "Airheads," Michael Ritchie's "The Scout" and his critically acclaimed performance in Showtime's "The Twilight of the Golds."

For the stage, Brendan received high praise for his work as the anxious writer in John Patrick Shanley's "Four Dogs And A Bone" at the Geffen Playhouse in which he co-starred with Martin Short, Parker Posey, and Elizabeth Perkins for director Lawrence Kasdan. Other stage credits include roles in Theater in Seattle.
