Brendan Fraser Tears Up as Fans Rally for His Comeback with New Scorsese, Aronofsky Films

News from earlier this month that Brendan Fraser has joined Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro as a cast member in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” was met with a roar of excitement by fans. The term “Brenaissance” started popping up across social media as a rallying call for the actor’s comeback, which includes the just-released Steven Soderbergh crime movie “No Sudden Movie” and the soon-to-come Darren Aronofsky drama “The Whale.” With so much goodwill going Fraser’s way, the actor appeared choked up this week during a virtual meet-and-greet with a fan.

Fraser attended virtualy from Oklahoma (via Entertainment Weekly), where he’s already filming “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Scorsese’s film is based on David Grann’s non-fiction book “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI,” which investigates a series of murders that plagued the Osage people in Osage County, Oklahoma during the 1920s after valuable oil was discovered on their land. The Osage people were granted in court the right to profit from oil found on their land, which made them the target of greedy ranch owners. Fraser is playing lawyer WS Hamilton in the film.

He’s a decent actor and obviously a nice guy. Will he ever win an Oscar? Probably never. But many actors don’t. Best of luck to him.
