Description

On today's episode of the Awards Tour podcast, Rotten Tomatoes Awards Editor Jacqueline Coley sits down with legendary actor Brendan Fraser to discuss his newest film, 'Rental Family,' now in theaters. In their conversation, Fraser opens up about playing Phillip Vandarpleog, an out-of-work actor living in Tokyo who’s hired to play real-life stand-in roles for strangers.

Jacqueline and Brendan also take a deep dive into his celebrated career and discuss fan favorites like 'Encino Man' and 'The Mummy,' as well as what it was like working with Joe Pesci in 'With Honors,' and being directed by “theater geek” Martin Scorsese in 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' Fraser later reflects on proving himself within the industry even after his Oscar-winning performance in 'The Whale,' and he gives fans a playful tease of what to expect from the new 'Mummy' film.
