Brendan Fraser

If you are unfamiliar, Brendan was one of the major action stars of the late '90s-early 2000s, starring in titles like The Mummy and George of the Jungle.

After living the first 35 years of his life in a nuclear fallout shelter built by his father, Adam (Brendan Fraser) goes into 1997 America for the first time. Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi), and Pip (Adam Sandler) are in a band called "The Lone Rangers." The Quiet American uses the veil of a romantic triangle to tell a story about American early involvement in Vietnam and how those actions would lead conflict in later years. This was a departure from his comedic roles at the time, and it is the same dramatic weight that he would later bring to The Whale. This fictional tale of his life focuses on him after his retirement from filmmaking and the flashbacks he has to the early 1900s and his role in World War I.
