Brendan Fraser was born on December 3, 1968 in Indianapolis, IN. Owing to his father's position as a journalist and foreign service officer for the Canadian Government Office of Tourism, Brendan and his family were required to relocate homes frequently. His childhood journey through the USA, Canada and Europe introduced him to the complex nature of diversity and the challenge of frequently changing schools. Living in Holland at age seven, he became secretly envious of his childhood peers' cool, militia-sounding "Army Brat" title. So he dubbed himself "Brochure Brat" and would compare travel itineraries to break the ice when making new friends. Along the way, Brendan developed insatiable curiosities for creating imagery (he has become an accomplished amateur photographer), going to new places (he is an ardent world traveler who recently needed extra pages added to his passport) and keeping current with new forms of artistic expression (his limited free time is frequently spent in Museums, Theatres and Galleries, or, yep…online.)
