All y'all saying Brendan Fraser is "back" now that he's in a Scorsese movie is just telling me you haven't watched Doom Patrol, @azalben, via Twitter.

Fraser starred in several blockbuster films during the 1990s and 2000s.

As well as a number of smaller films in which he established himself as an actor of range.

His career stalled out in recent years after alleging that HFPA ex-president Philip Berk sexually assaulted him.

Fraser can currently be seen in the newest Steven Soderbergh film, 'No Sudden Move.'
