Fraser called his performance in 'The Whale' an 'opportunity to reintroduce myself' to Hollywood.
Brendan Fraser won the Oscar Sunday night for best actor Sunday night for his performance in "The Whale," kicking off a new era for the once ubiquitous '90s star who became largely absent from the big screen for much of the last decade.
"If anything, this is a reintroduction more than a comeback," Fraser told The Associated Press in a December interview. "It's an opportunity to reintroduce myself to an industry, who I do not believe forgot me as is being perpetrated. I've just never been that far away." The film, an adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter's play, shows a different side of Fraser as an actor than the affable action/comedy roles that made him beloved and famous in the 1990s.
