- "I hopped around the room, knocked over plants and uttered
- unintelligibly." And all with such flair that BRENDAN FRASER
- beat out 125 auditioning Cro-Magnons to star in Encino Man. "I
- fashioned my movements and energy after a dog I once knew." His
- role in School Ties, due this fall, was less of a stretch.
- Fraser, who attended an elite Canadian boarding school, plays
- an athlete at an American prep school in the 1950s who faces
- prejudice because he is Jewish. He recalls his own alienation
- as a student. "I was intimidated rooming with the sons of
- Cabinet members and the Prime Minister," he said. "They all
- wanted to become politicians. I wanted to be an actor." So much
- for popularity polls.
