We all know Brendan Fraser as the protagonist from The Mummy franchise but limiting such a dynamic actor to only one franchise isn’t justified at all. The one-time Academy Award winner for the film Whale has still enough potential left in him to make other actors run for their careers. Having a comeback to the Hollywood film industry after 8 years is no joke and that also thumping the role with an Academy Award.
The 54-year-old Oscar-winner actor had to go for an eight-years break from a successful career back in the 1990s and 2000s due to personal challenges, however, that couldn’t hold him back and he is back to business. The G.I. Joe The Rise Of Cobra actor might be popular as the actor for The Mummy franchise, but he has two more films that have helped him make a fortune from his career.
Movie That Made Brendan Fraser Rich Keeping Aside The Mummy
Brendan Fraser had a magnificent career back in the 1990s and 2000s and it is no surprise that he lived a life at his peak that most Hollywood actors dream of. While The Mummy franchise helped him a lot to gain the recognition he currently has in the industry, there were two more films that helped the 54-year-old Hollywood actor stay rooted in it.
The Journey to the Center of the Earth starring Brendan Fraser is one of the two movies that revived the career of the 54-year-old Hollywood actor, and he enjoyed it. Released back in 2008 the movie was filled with high-level CGI, but it received mixed reviews from the critics and earned around $244 million. It is a one-of-a-kind film, currently, the world might have forgotten The Journey to the Center of the Earth, but the graphics of the film was way ahead of its time.
The role played by the “The Mummy” actor in The Journey to the Center of the Earth is of a volcanologist named Trevor Anderson. The film is about an adventure where the brother of Trevor Anderson gets lost, and he and his team move to the center of the earth along that way they encounter different creatures and mysteries. The Oscar winner was praised for the role he played, and the film has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 60%.
Acting As The Supporting Actor In G.I. Joe The Rise Of Cobra Made Brendan Fraser Rich
