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.

Before he was the Man of Steel, he was just a kid from Kansas finding his place in the world. The story begins with the tragic final moments of the planet Krypton, where Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van make the heartbreaking decision to send their only son to the stars to save him from destruction. The ship lands in the quiet town of Smallville, bringing with it a meteor shower that forever changes the lives of its inhabitants, including the tragic loss of young Lana Lang (deeply affecting her mother, Laura Lang). Raised with an unwavering moral compass by Jonathan and Martha Kent, a young Clark must learn to master his emerging and overwhelming powers in secret. As he navigates the complexities of adolescence alongside his first love, Lana, and his loyal friend Pete Ross, Clark discovers the truth about his extraterrestrial origins and the weight of the destiny that awaits him. Years later, an adult Clark, now a Superman, must return to his roots when ruthless crime tycoon Morgan Edge uncovers long-buried secrets in Smallville. To protect his family, Lana, and the world, Clark must finally embrace his alien heritage and prove why Earth needs a beacon of hope.
