Brendan James Fraser (born December 3, 1968) is an American-Canadian actor. Fraser had his breakthrough in 1992 with the comedy Encino Man and the drama School Ties. He gained further prominence for his starring roles in the comedies With Honors (1994) and George of the Jungle (1997) and emerged as a star playing Rick O'Connell in The Mummy trilogy (1999–2008). He took on dramatic roles in Gods and Monsters (1998), The Quiet American (2002), and Crash (2004), and further fantasy roles in Bedazzled (2000) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008). Fraser's film work slowed from the late 2000s to mid-2010s due to the poor box office performances, and various health and personal problems, including the fallout from a sexual assault committed against him in 2003 by Philip Berk, the then-president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Fraser branched into television with roles in the Showtime drama The Affair (2016–2017), the FX series Trust (2018), and the Max series Doom Patrol (2019–2023). His film career was revitalized by roles in Steven Soderbergh's No Sudden Move (2021) and Darren Aronofsky's The Whale (2022). Fraser's starring role as an obese gay man in the latter earned him critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Actor, becoming the first Canadian to win this category.

Basil Karlo has loved film since he first watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari as a young boy. Now, he has grown up to become an actor. He slowly gains popularity due to his good looks and impeccable acting ability. Despite getting offers for many high brow films, he consistently chooses B-list horror films in the hopes to inspire a new generation of actors, much like how he was inspired as a young boy. He ultimately stars in his magnum opus, A Night in Horror Castle, which truly launches his career as well as the industry seeing horror films in a new light. After a string of successful films, he slowly starts to die out in popularity. With this, he takes any low brow film he can find, even starring in pornographic films. He soon learns that the film that was his opus is getting remade, without him as the star. He begins to spiral out of control and into a realm of insanity. So much so, he realizes that he must get revenge on the people who have done this to him... A 'Joker' style villain story.
