Trump's Redshirt advocates have inspired a plan to save Brendan Fraser

 

Reddit is now the hometown of two fanatical communities devoted to a cause. One believes that it memorizes a bloviating fascist into office as soon as becoming the leader of the free world. The other wants to save Brendan Fraser.

 Although savebrendan is not a new community, it seems to have garnered attention this week with most of the board members involved in the past five days. Ignoring the constant image of Guy That from Encino Man, subreddit is fundamentally indistinguishable from the_donald (and, to end, a spin-off community called the_brendan has been created.) Frequently calling each other to help make Brendan Great Again.
It's hard to know whether the new concern about the well-being of actor Brendan Fraser has been rinsed is correct or a parody of Trump supporters, or if the distinction is problematic - because one That way, what savebrendan is doing is working.
IMDB has listed the head of the bed that jumped 149 locations on Starmeter's site this week, re-entering the top 500 for what could be the first time in decades (I have not had and declined payment for an IMDB Pro account). .org requests "please consider Brendan for any upcoming show / film to be scheduled" has topped 33,000 signatures. Moving forward, communities are planning to coordinate Twitter actions around startup tags like #savebrendan and #UnfuckBrendansShit.

Although some of us have lovely memories of watching George of the Jungle, Fraser has been the subject of a long and rich meme history that explains some, though not all, of the interest. recently. A couple of years after his divorce from his wife, Afton Smith, he became the headline when he petitioned his $ 900 million annual relief payment after a severe back injury. It is noteworthy that the event featured a photo of Fraser, his eyes flushed, seemingly unwell and ripe for food for the meme. Sad Brendan has been-by the magic of Photoshop - with the ugly hair of an irrelevant internet joke, has become associated with the phrase "just fuck my fuck up," and a meme version of Sinbad. : Beyond the Veil of Mists led was born.
It is not content for Fraser to be remembered as a sobbing accident - or to use his broken career as a cultural warboat. Trump-parodying-savebrendan is breathing new life into the memes of a Best man remembered on the screen as a lovely doofus. Whether they can effectively #unfuckhisshit and Google bombs Monkeybone 2 into production though still to be seen.

 

Brendan Fraser Biography

Brendan Fraser is an American film actor known for starring in such films as The Mummy trilogy and School Ties.

“If there is a throughline to my characters, it's that they're fish out of water. I love to act roles that allow me to make discoveries for the first time.”

Synopsis

Born in 1968 in Indianapolis, Indiana, Brendan Fraser studied acting at Seattle's Cornish College of the Arts and soon after landed leading roles in several films, including 1992's Encino Man and 1992’s School Ties. Fraser reached star status in the lead role in 1999's The Mummy, which was hugely popular and lead to two sequels. Always diverse, Fraser has also done family adventure films as well as dramas.

Early Life and Career
Brendan James Fraser was on December 3, 1968, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The youngest of four, he moved around a lot during his childhood. His father was a Canadian tourism executive, and he has dual American-Canadian citizenship. Relocating every few years for his father's job, Fraser first discovered theater while living in London. He started going to see shows.

In his early teens, Fraser began performing in Seattle, Washington. He worked with the Laughing Horse Summer Theater. After attending the Upper Canada College Preparatory School in Toronto, he returned to Seattle for college. Fraser continued to pursue his interest in acting at the Cornish College of the Arts. He caught his first break, landing a bit part in 1991'sDogfight. The movie, which was filmed in Seattle, stars Lili Taylor and River Phoenix. Soon after his Dogfight experience, Fraser's career started to take off.

Leading Film Actor
In 1992, Brendan Fraser starred in two films. He played a caveman must cope with modern times after being thawed out in the comedy Encino Man. InSchool Ties, Fraser tackled a dramatic role as a Jewish athlete who hides his background from his boarding school peers; Ben Affleck and Matt Damon also appeared in the film.

More prominent film roles soon followed with varying results. The 1994 rocker comedy Airheads proved to be a critical and commercial disappointment. But he enjoyed box office success with the cartoon-based George of the Jungle in 1997. The following year, Fraser won kudos for his performance in Gods and Monsters with Ian McKellen. He took on another cartoon-inspired role for 1999's Dudley Do-Right, which fell flat at the box office. But Fraser also launched a hugely popular family adventure series with The Mummy that same year. The movie was one of the biggest films of the time. Fraser appeared in two more blockbuster films, The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008).

While his cartoon comedy Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) was lackluster, Fraser had some success as a dramatic actor around this time. He gave a stellar performance in the 2002 film adaptation of the Graham Greene novel The Quiet American with Michael Caine. Two years later, Fraser had a well-received supporting role in 2004's Crash.

Recent Projects
Fraser enjoyed another box office triumph with 2008's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Based on the Jules Verne novel, this adventure tale raked in more than $100 million in its initial release.

In 2010, Fraser made his Broadway debut in the comedy Elling. Unfortunately, the show only had a short time because of poor reviews and weak ticket sales. Fraser had signed up for a film about William Tell, but he ended up in a legal dispute with the filmmakers over production delays. He also dropped out of a television pilot for a series over creative differences in 2012.

After that professional rough patch, Fraser appears to be back on track. He has several projects in the works, including the upcoming drama Gimme Shelter with Vanessa Hudgens. Fraser also stars in the western comedy In With the Outlaws.

Personal Life
Fraser married actress Afton Smith in 1998. They have three sons together, Griffin Arthur, Holden Fletcher and Leland. Fraser and his wife divorced in 2007. In 2013, Fraser made headlines when he sought to reduce the amount of support he paid to Smith: Fraser claimed that he no longer had the income to keep up with the annual total of $900,000 in payments to her, and the pair had become engaged in a legal battle over the finances.

The Ridiculous Amount Brendan Fraser Spends Each Month On Agent Fees And Alimony

Actor Brendan Fraser isn't raking in as much dough as he was in 1999 when he starred in "The Mummy."

After a 2007 divorce and massive professional expenses to agents, managers, etc., Fraser is currently behind on his monthly bills and owes $87,320.01, according to TMZ.

"Fraser filed docs in Connecticut recently as part of an ongoing battle with his ex-wife to lower his alimony payments, which currently sit at $50,000/month," reports TMZ. "According to Fraser, he makes about $205,704.04/month, but $112,803.25 goes to professional expenses, leaving him with $92,900.79."
 

According to the docs, Fraser makes an additional $25,800.28 from interest, but his expenses still outweigh his earnings.

Here's where Fraser's monthly earnings are going, according to docs obtained by TMZ:

• Alimony: $50,000 
• Mortgages: $5,000+
• Property tax: $6,000+
• Income tax: $34,132.52
• Child support: $25,000
• Gardening: $5,200
• Various insurances: $5,000+
• Family support and gifts: $5,000+
• Staffing: $3,000
• Pet care: $7.77 
• And apparently, the list goes on and on ...

Brendan Fraser Broke, Can't Afford $900,000 Child Support Payment To Ex-Wife

Brendan Fraser is allegedly struggling to make do.

The former "Mummy" star went to a Connecticut court to try and reduce his annual $900,000 child support payment to his ex-wife Afton Smith, insisting he can no longer afford it, the New York Post reports. The 44-year-old actor explained that he no longer earns enough to justify the amount. But, his ex isn't buying it.

According to the Post, Smith went to court earlier this month and accused Fraser of "fraud" for reportedly hiding $9 million in new film contracts when they settled their divorce in Feb. 2009.
During proceedings, Fraser claimed that he was set to make $0 (zero dollars) from acting in the coming years, later admitting he said that because he had no definite movie deals at the time. But since then, Fraser has made a handful of films, some of which haven't been released yet, including "Gimme Shelter," "A Case of You" and "Split Decision."

Still, the "George of the Jungle" actor cited numerous medical issues for putting a "considerable" limit on his ability to earn money and star in as many flicks as he used to.

Fraser has three young sons -- Griffin, 10, Holden, 8, and Leland, 6 -- with his former wife of nine years, whom he met in 1993 at a barbecue thrown by Winona Ryder. He is set to take the stand and testify at Stamford Superior Court later this month.

The Huffington Post has reached out to Fraser's team concerning the court battle.

The Death of Brendan Fraser’s Career

Instead of a traditional review, I felt it was more appropriate to respond to the cinematic tragedy, Furry Vengeance, with a eulogy in honor of Brendan Fraser's career. 

 

Brendan Fraser's career (BFC) was born in 1991 in a 30-minute short film entitled My Old School. It was a time filled with war in the Middle East and the announcement of Johnny Carson's departure from The Tonight Show. They were sad times indeed, but a shimmer of hope was on the horizon.

From there, Fraser's career landed the actor a few minor roles including "John's friend" in Child of Darkness, Child of Light and "Sailor #1" in Dogfight, but it wasn't until the 1992 Pauly Shore comedy, Encino Man, that gave the career a sufficient amount of screen time to stand up and shout, "Hey, me and this Indianapolis idiot are here!" It was a bold move for the career, but when the lines of dialogue include such brilliance as "Check out fresh nugs" and "Wheezin' the juice," how could it not?

The risk paid off and a shower of opportunities arose for both actor and career, but BFC decided to avoid the low-brow comedic route and put its efforts in dramatic roles. It was a decision that would soon divide the two forever.

The emotional yet forgettable School Ties and Twenty Bucks came and went without much praise from critics. Not even a hobo Joe Pesci was enough to salvage the production of With Honors. A rift had formed. The actor packed his belongings and gave BFC an ultimatum. Join him in the pursuit of comedy or part ways forever. Loyal and loving, BFC refused to abandon his thespian mate.

From 1994 to 1996, the premiers of Airheads and The Scout gave promise the team's jocular direction, but it wasn't long before BFC noticed a change in the actor's behavior. Greed began to cloud decision making and, within a year, the two wound up on the set of Disney's George of the Jungle in a loin cloth that revealed just about everything, except their dignity. That was long gone. After the next embarrassing sight of Fraser in Dudley Do-Right's Mounty uniform, BFC made a final stand and begged the actor to try his hand at an action series that involved an Egyptian mummy curse. Teary-eyed, the actor agreed.

The Mummy was a hit! It garnered over $43 million in its opening weekend, and a sequel was already scheduled in 2001! Some called the actor the next Indiana Jones! The team was back on top and the view never looked so good. Just when all was right with the world, the actor's hunger began to resurface, in more ways than one, and contracts for more appalling comedies were secretly signed behind BFC's back.

After the utter failures of Bedazzled, Monkeybone and Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the relationship between actor and career was significantly bruised. Trust no longer existed. Attempts to rekindle the situation with additional action films were made, but the damage was irreparable. The team had only mediocrity ahead of them, and they'd be lucky if they received that.

Bloated and yearning for attention, the thoughtless actor made one final decision that would permanently end his relationship with his now battered career. He agreed to star in a family comedy about an environmentally-friendly project manager whose company is constructing homes in the unscathed Oregon wilderness and the local wildlife retaliates with furry fury. Not only was the actor forced to wear tight women's clothing that exposed his protruding gut, Furry Vengeance also required a scene in which a raccoon urinates in Fraser's mouth.

At the exact moment the stream of excretion splashed on the actor's selfish lips, Brendan Fraser's career took its last breath and slipped away into a peaceful everlasting slumber.

What lies in store for the actor's future is anyone's guess, except for the possibility of a successful profession in the film industry. That dirt road has been paved with failure.

As I sit here and ponder about the career that could have been, I can only hope Brendan Fraser's career can be seen as an example to the next generation of aspiring actors so its death is not in vain.
However, a sensation of joy fills my body when I look toward the sky, because I know in my heart it's up there gossiping with the careers of Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner and John Travolta.

Texas Rising First Look: Bill Paxton and Brendan Fraser star in new History channel miniseries

Posted February 19 2015 — 1:40 PM EST

Everyone remembers the Alamo. (If you don’t, we recommend not visiting Texas.) But what happened next? The answer can be found in the History miniseries Texas Rising, beginning May 25. The eight-hour epic details how Sam Houston and his ragtag army battled the forces of Mexican general Santa Anna following the siege at the Alamo Mission.

The cast includes Brendan Fraser, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olivier Martinez, Thomas Jane, Crispin Glover, Kris Kristofferson, and Bill Paxton, who plays Houston. “He’s so much bigger than life,” says the Big Love actor and Lone Star State native—though his enthusiasm for the hero is rooted in more than just Texan pride. “He’s kind of my second cousin, three times removed. So it’s personal as well!”
