An Actor of Note
Brendan Fraser’s astounding acting range was what so many people found so impressive. Casting directors questioned his ability to transition into more serious and somber roles when he demonstrated to the world his comic timing. This led to his selection for the character of Darkly Noon, a former member of a religious cult who struggles with strong feelings for a lady, in The Passion of Darkly Noon, a 1995 psychological thriller. Numerous critics praised Fraser’s performance, which opened up new possibilities.
