Just a few years before he became a movie star, Brendan Fraser had a small but important role in the understated coming-of-age film Now and Then.
Before he became a movie star, Brendan Fraser had a minor role in the coming-of-age film Now and Then. Released in 1995, Now and Then put the coming-of-age genre on its ear by featuring an all-female cast. The movie assembled an all-star group of established stars and future icons to play its four main characters, portrayed at different ages in the past and present.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Fraser was a year away from leading roles in movies like Mrs. Winterbourne, and by the end of the 1990s, he was one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to tent pole films like The Mummy. Though Hollywood failed Brendan Fraser through the 2000s, it was his down-to-earth performance style that made him such an amazing actor.
Brendan Fraser's best movies show off his affability while also containing multitudes just below the surface. In his Now and Then scene, the Vietnam vet talks to the girls, they confide their problems to him, and he listens intently despite having obvious problems of his own. Fraser's performance is all in his eyes, and he plays the young man with a chilling thousand-yard stare that indicates his past trauma.
The Vietnam Veteran Was Similar To Fraser's Role In The Whale The Brendan Fraser renaissance was complete in 2023 when he won an Academy Award for his performance in The Whale, and there he played a very similar character to his role in Now and Then. Both the Vietnam vet and The Whale's Charlie are kind and well-meaning people who have grown increasingly isolated due to the bad things that happened in their past, and yet both still have an open heart for others.
