Brendan Fraser puzzled

DH was talking about Brendan fraser and I was saying oh I mind when he was in Brookside. DH said I thought he was American and I said no hes English. After a quick Google I am absolutely wrong on both counts.

Who the hell am I thinking about? It's driving me nuts!

Just Googled and it's none of the above. I can see him clearly in my mind. He had black hair with the curtains that was in fashion then.

@Mammyloveswine from Brookside to Egypt 😂

Are you thinking of the man who played Peter? They look a little similar

MomwasCasual · 05/09/2022 21:44

Robert Beck?

Is your actor guy a scouser?

Just Googled it was Robert Beck 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

Thanks very much everyone 💐

Him and Brendon do look similar when younger. That's my defense 😁

Yay!

They don't look anything like each other nowadays. Mind you, neither looks anything like themselves nowadays 😂

Are you sure it wasn't one of the three lads, Simon was one of them? As soon as you said black curtains I could imagine who you were thinking of!

@MomwasCasual they really don't. The amount of actors who I found during my sleuthing that I had totally forgotten about was unreal. I was 100% sure as a young teen I would marry Calvin from Hollyoaks.

Gods and Monsters is a fabulous film with Brendan Fraser and Ian Mckellen.
The passion of Darkly Noon is a dark and unsettling film with Him, Viggo Mortensen and Ashley Judd, all very young.
