The great advantage about telling the truth,
is that nobody ever believes it.
- Dorothy L. Sayers
So in honor of our 3RD ANNIVERSARY๐, we thought we would give you all a present๐. So here are some frequently asked questions that we have collected from the blog readers, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, IMDb,etc. and the answers are from The Big Guys (and the little woman) themselves (Scouts honor.) ๐๐ค
Disclaimer: Neither Brendan, nor TheChamCham was ever a boy scout. Tess did attend a Girl Scouts meeting once, but she didn't join.
TCC- Why not ?
Tess: Green is not my color.
TCC-: You love green !
Tess: Yes! The world would be lost without it, but I do not do it justice. Oh, and I did not care for the cookies ๐ช.
TCC-: Yours are better๐.
Tess: Oh thank you, honey๐.
Tess: First question.What does BRENDAN think of Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, the whole "SaveBrendan" thing, including the memes and that petition?
TCC: Umm, I would bet that he ๐thinks a lot of people have too much time on their hands and they need to join a club or work for a charity, volunteer at a shelter (human or animal), find a real hobby, plant a garden, take lessons,etc. Or go and work as an extra for one day and see what it's really like on a set, the daily process of working on a film or tv show. Most of you won't go back the second time. To those who do: be on time, know your lines, check your ego at the door, have courage and good luck.
The petition was especially misguided. There are more important causes we need to use our signatures and voices for.
And for the record... Brendan doesn't need "help" doesn't and doesn't need "saving".
I think the whales ๐ณ๐ณ still do. Somebody should check on that.
Tess: Why hasn't BRENDAN'S
website been updated since 2005?
TCC: He forgot the password.๐
Tess: If BRENDAN had to watch one movie for the rest of his life, what would it be?
TCC: Is this a serious question ??? Why would he only have one movie ? Did someone steal his DVDs/Blue-Rays/Academy Award screeners, did all of the video stores close, is Netflix offline, is the library closed, did his neighbors move away ??? If the power went out (which it usually does during a storm), the tv/cable/vcr etc. wouldn't work anyway, so how could he
watch only ONE movie ? Next question.๐
Tess:Which of the many different characters that BRENDAN has played is the most like the real BRENDAN FRASER?
TCC: Wow. ๐ Umm, I know everyone wants me to say George from "George of the Jungle" , Rick O'Connell from the Mummy films or Link from "Encino (California) Man".
I'm really sorry to disappoint you and I really can't day, so I threw this question to Tess.
Tess: Alden Pyle from The Quiet American.
Guest:๐ Really? In what way?
Tess: Because the person that Brendan appears to be, is not who he really is.
Guest: ๐คจ.Would you care to elaborate ?
Tess:..............No.
Tess: What hobbies does BRENDAN enjoy in his spare time?
TCC: What spare time ? Ha Ha. Umm, spending time with his kids.(Is that a hobby, past time, or vocation ?) Shooting arrows at stuff ๐ฏ, fishing ๐ฃ, swimming,๐, going to amusement parks, ๐ก๐ข throwing stuff in bonfires ๐ฅ, chopping wood, boating ⛵, eating ๐๐ฒ๐จ๐๐ฆ, drinking๐ท๐ฅค๐น๐ฅ๐บ☕, laying on the couch watching movies๐บ, ๐ reading, staying home ๐ก.
Tess: If Brendan were an Adult Film Star, what would his name be?
TCC: If he was a porn star, would he even need to answer this question? ๐ It's Bear Halbeck. Can I tell them yours?
Tess: No.
TCC: But it's adorable!๐
Tess: No.
TCC: Oh, come on !!!
Tess: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!๐ญ
TCC:☹️Eeeep.
Tess: Do you think BRENDAN will ever get married again?
TCC: I'm not clairvoyant, so I can't answer that question, but I don't think anything is ever set in stone. Why ? Are you proposing? ๐คจ
Tess: No, Sir!
TCC: Good girl !
Tess: If BRENDAN could live anywhere, where would he live ?
TCC: With his kids. Where would you live ?
Tess: Japan.
TCC: ๐ข.
Tess: What are BRENDAN'S goals at the moment and how is he thinking of accomplishing them?
TCC: Are we back in high school ?
Tess: You can skip that one if you want to.
TCC: I have to think about it.
Tess: Why are so many pages missing here from BRENDAN'S filmography?
TCC: Apparently there are quite a few things that Tess hasn't seen and that somebody apparently doesn't want her to see like ....."Doom Patrol"๐ฏ.
Tess: That one has a page.
TCC: But it wouldn't have one if you had seen the pilot first .....would it?
Tess:. No, it would not......You asked and I answered.
TCC: You don't ask, you don't get.
Tess: Be careful what you wish for.
Tess:Why do you guys use puppets for your avatars, instead of your real photos?
TCC: Isn't that the point of using avatars in the first place? Anonymity ?
Tess: Yes. I do not believe that any sensible person would be using their real name or photograph online.
TCC: And they aren't puppets. He's a marionette and she's a doll. I got into a fight with a guy on YouTube about that and he worked for Gerry Anderson !!!
Tess:Why hasn't TESS written a post since last September?
TCC: Well, amongst other reasons, My Tess has been poached by another site because they loved her George of the Jungle page and she's going to be doing movie pages for them!!!
Tess: You said that you did not mind!
TCC: I don't. There's nothing for you to do here. Posting Comic-Con pictures is a waste of your time and talent.
Tess: Going to Comic-Con$ is a waste of "someone else's" time and talent.
TCC: ๐ฎ!!!
Tess: If BRENDAN could have played any character on GAME OF THRONES๐ฐ๐บ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฆ๐ป๐⚔️๐ก️, which one would he choose?
TCC: Ramsay Bolton๐น๐ก️!!!
Tess: ๐ณ .
TCC: Why are you looking at me like that ?
Tess: ๐ฐ........ Westworld. The same question.
TCC: The Man in Black.
Tess: ๐ฃ.
Tess: Who was BRENDAN'S favorite actor to work with so far?
TCC: That's easy. That would have to be a tie between Ian McKellen and Michael Caine.
Tess: Same question, actress?
TCC: That's too hard to answer. Brendan wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
Tess: What is BRENDAN'S favorite kind of food?
TCC: The edible kind !!!(laughs)
Tess: I am not going to take that personally.
TCC: What's for dinner ?
Tess: Whatever you want.
TCC: I have two hours to think about it.
Tess: Not if you want it cooked.
TCC: Let's order pizza ๐ !!!๐
Tess: You have filled your pizza quotient for this month.
TCC: ๐.
Tess: What did you say? ๐ฏ
TCC: I said gosh darn it.๐
Tess: What did BRENDAN think of the "new" Mummy movie?
TCC: Brendan doesn't believe in kicking someone when they're down. Next question.
Tess: Does BRENDAN really want to make another sequel to The Mummy ?
TCC: Your guess is as good as mine, but I wouldn't count my chickens๐๐๐ .Even if they greenlight it, it wouldn't hit theaters for two years. Today's moviegoers are as patient as they are loyal and Brendan hates to work out so..........
Tess: What attracts BRENDAN to a certain script?
TCC: The crazier, the better.
Tess: Would BRENDAN like to do a sitcom?
TCC: No.
Tess: As a STAR WARS fan, what did BRENDAN think of the third trilogy?
TCC:๐คช.
Tess: Has he been to Galaxy's Edge ?
TCC: No.
Tess: Why not?
TCC: Because he's a Star Wars fan.
Tess: Is there a country BRENDAN has not been to yet, that you think he would like to visit?
TCC: ๐ค...........................................
.......................................Lithuania.
Tess: Why?
TCC: Idle curiosity.
Tess: If BRENDAN could star in a remake of a popular film, which one would he choose?
TCC: Popular films shouldn't need remakes.
Tess: Amen to that.
Tess: What's with the purse?
TCC: ๐คจ
Tess: I would have phrased that differently.
TCC: What purse ?
Tess: I believe that they are referring to the satchel.
TCC: Oh. It's a leather satchel. What's the question ?
Tess: I suppose that they want to know what he has in there.
TCC: Oh ! (laughs๐) None of your beeswax !!!
Tess: Now you have piqued their curiosity.
TCC: Ummm...His whips and chains.
Tess: Oh my goodness.๐
TCC: Wrong answer ?
Tess: His little fans at 4Chan will love that.
TCC: Yup. Next question.
Tess: Why did BRENDAN'S character (Ben Sullivan) on "Scrubs" have to die?
TCC: That was at Brendan's request when he was asked to do the show.
Tess: But he did not die for three episodes.
TCC: Nope.๐
Tess: What is BRENDAN'S favorite movie role?
TCC: That's like asking him to choose his favorite child ! Next !
Tess:If BRENDAN could remake any of his movies, which one would it be?
TCC :Been there, done that.
Tess: In what role did BRENDAN feel the most immersed as an actor?
TCC: Umm, I guess Elliott in "Bedazzled", because of all of the different characters, the makeup,etc.
Tess: What does BRENDAN have against social media?
TCC: Everything ! (laughs๐) He Googles things when he needs to, but if he wanted to sit at a computer for hours everyday, he'd work in an office so he'd get paid for it. He has other hobbies. He likes to be outdoors.
Tess: Would BRENDAN be interested in competing on "Dancing with the Stars" ?
TCC: What's the prize if he wins ?
Tess: That garish mirror ball trophy.
TCC: ๐ He doesn't want to have to work that hard. Besides, where would he put it ?
Tess: eBay? I have heard of people using their Oscars as doorstops. I think that is disgraceful.
TCC: Yeah.๐
Tess: Would BRENDAN ever do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) at Reddit?
TCC: No way. (๐) he'd rather have a root canal.
Tess: Oh! And I know how much he dislikes going to the dentist.
TCC: Doesn't everyone?
Tess: Yes.
Tess: Would BRENDAN ever visit Cr1tical on The Official Podcast?
TCC: Sorry ? Oh, that's a person ? ๐Huh.Umm......(views one of his videos on YouTube)......NO !!!
Tess: What is BRENDAN doing with that extra $50,000 ?
TCC: No comment.๐
Tess: What will BRENDAN be doing next?
TCC: Probably taking a nap.
Tess: I think they meant in his career.
TCC: Superstition prevents me from answering.
Tess:If BRENDAN were stranded on a deserted island, what two companions and what three things would he want to have with him?
TCC: A tv set, a refrigerator, an open bar.......
Tess : He would not have electricity there.
TCC: Then he's not going๐.
Tess: What was the last book you read?
TCC: Zen in the Art of Archery. Thank you for that, by the way.
Tess: You are very welcome,Sir.
Tess: Why did you agree to answer questions on our blog?
TCC: You said I could name my price (raises eyebrows suggestively and winks).๐
Tess: Stop that.๐คญ
TCC: You said you'd quit if I didn't do this !
Tess: I did not.
TCC: I can refuse you nothing.
Tess: (sighs dramatically) I am spoken for.
TCC: You don't have to remind me.....๐ Mrs.Virgil Tracy.
And last, but not least, OUR
MOST ASKED QUESTION.
Tess: Are you BRENDAN FRASER?
TCC: ๐ค.
Tess: I think you have to answer this one. I think we have kept them in suspense for too long.
TCC: Actually, I am relieved that this is over and that I am finally at liberty to say that I AM NOT NOW, NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN, BRENDAN FRASER !!!
Tess: ๐.
TCC: Could you untie me now ?
Tess:(gasps) You are very naughty.
TCC:Yeah. Maybe I should be punished.๐ Go and get the satchel.
Tess: I think we are done here.
TCC: Aw, shucks.๐
As of FEBRUARY 3, 2020 this blog will no longer be current. Please feel free to browse the pages, but there will not be any new content. We have no desire to continue and have left the ball in someone else's court, but I expect that it will go dormant just like it's predecessor website. http://www.brendanfraser.com/ You can lead a horse to a laptop, but you can't make him type.๐๐ด.
In that case:
