Brendan Fraser Signs With Agency CAA

Brendan Fraser, frewsh off an Oscar Best Actor nomination for A24’s The Whale, has signed with CAA as he plots the next step in his career comeback. He had been represented by the agency several times in the past, including in the early 2000s and early 2010s.

According to Deadline, Fraser left Gersh, where he had been for seven and a half years, in early January after his agent Stephen Hirsh retired, and had been without an agent since then. He continues to be managed by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and also repped by Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson. He is enjoying a career resurgence with Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. For his performance, Fraser has won the Critics Choice and SAG Award, among other accolades.

Fraser had his breakthrough in 1992 with the comedy Encino Man and the drama School Ties. He gained further prominence for his starring role in George of the Jungle (1997) and emerged 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).
