Catch Fraser
Not just another slice of beefcake, Brendan Fraser is producing high expectations in Hollywood. While his role in Encino Man made him a summer stud puppy, the upcoming School Ties, about anti-Semitism at a posh prep school in the 1950s, should make even the sternest critics take note of his talent. Fraser projects a kind of shy-guy charm that could only belong to a Canadian who grew up relocating all over the world. “School Ties is about being an outsider, and we’ve all been in that position at some point.” Arriving in L.A. fresh from Seattle, Fraser set a goal, “to try not to get another hernia from busing tables.” Now, as he’s poised on the brink of stardom, Fraser jokes that “I actually looked up the word ‘lucrative’ the other day—just to remind myself.”
