At the age of 24 Fraser acted in the movie Encino Man. It was his first big role that, unfortunately, not many people remember. However, starring roles in movies like George of the Jungle (1997), The Mummy (1999) and all of its sequels, and Dudley Do-Right (1999) made the actor world-famous. Today Brendan is 50 years old and his acting career is still going strong.

Fraser was married to actress Afton Smith and they have 3 sons. Brendan has dual-citizenship, in the USA and Canada, which is why he speaks French fluently. Additionally, he is fond of photography.
