Brendan Fraser

Definitely part of the C. Thomas Howell crew these days.
 
Oh, my lucky stars, a negro!



No love for "blast from the past"?
 
These Hollywood guys get really screwed in divorce especially if their career starts to stall.
His fellow Canadian bro Dave Foley went through a nasty divorce too. Divorced when he was killing it on NewsRadio, and now years later struggling to pay his ex wife

Foley now owes $17,301.30 monthly toward his two children, who are both now teenagers: the $10,700 in child support agreed to in 2001, now raised to $12,301.30 to reflect cost of living increases, plus $5,000 a month toward the overdue $589,000 he already owes. For a performer, that means that once taxes and a 20 per cent commission are factored in, he has to earn $40,000 per month, he figures, before he can see a dime.

Died watching this skit.

"Christian Bale? Michael Keaton? Is it George Clooney? I love George Clooney! Adam West? The cartoon version? Are you an actor?"

my favorite part of that episode is when he talks about the hotel mini-bar.

California's a 50/50 state when it comes to divorce, and they use the financial standing of the time of divorce, which is really bad when you're not making dat MUMMY money no more.

Can't they renegotiate? This is inhumane. Seriously.

Let's ask @TheWorm. He'll say laws vary by region and he won't be familiar with CA code but maybe he'll shine a little light into this inky, black, moist abyss.

(FWIW, I think Foley's story is embroidered.)
 
I enjoyed the movie

Encino Man
 
900k/year? His ex's net worth is probably greater than his. Yet he's paying her because...equality. Smh...the justice system in the U.S. is so broken.
 
I'll always love Brendan Fraser for The Mummy and I have a very clear memory of when he was a hot commodity around that time.

He seemed to be doing okay about through 2008 when he did Journey to the Center of the Earth, but then he just kind of disappeared. I know he got divorced, as someone else mentioned, and I also know that the hurt his back in 2009. He had to have surgery and go through rehab and I remember reading that this affected his ability to keep doing action movies, and that was a big blow to his career. I believe his doctor told him that he shouldn't do his own stunts anymore.

Just looking at his IMDB page he seems to be doing a lot of TV these days. I haven't seen him in anything in years.

I feel a bit bad for the guy. He always seemed cool.

Which situation do you want me to comment on, Foley or Fraser? Or both?

I think more along the lines of amending divorce settlements after the fact, on whatever grounds. I guess we're talking about revisions due to making less money, etc. How to go about it, and if it's a deal where it would cost more to change things. I know settlements differ, but some of these poor guys sound like they're on the hook unto perpetuity.

Aside, I've been meaning to ask you a few questions, stemming from Peter David's divorce (who is American), wherein he came home one day to find half his bank account drained during a salad year. He and his ex-wife dwindled those monies to nothing fighting each other -- and now the IRS has come to collected on it, because he wasn't able to pay taxes that year due to the divorce (he owes upwards of 88K). It seemed suspicious to me, because he opened a GoFundMe. So I was wondering: how the fuck does that happen? Like, couldn't he say all the money was spent for the divorce, and thus he had no income? But moreover: Is divorce that expensive? No one seemed to gain ANYTHING, but I'm running on partial info. I don't know what the original figures were, but it sounded like he had no more money than what was in his account that year. And so everything he made, was simply gone. I don't know if he had to pay alimony or whatever, but it just raised all sorts of questions.

Any insight you can provide on the whole thing would be appreciated. I think guys would like to get a little information against the superstition that we're automatically screwed. I know going to a lawyer is step one, but this is sort of like preparing before you take your car into the mechanic so he doesn't fuck you over alongside your bitch-ass ex-wife who was supposed to love, honor, and cherish. But now you wish she'd just perish.
 
I thought he was good in The Quiet American back in 2002, but I'm probably biased being a big fan of Graham Greene. There are worse actors.

 
Nah for real. Why is Fraser getting screwed so hard? Why does his wife get all that money? Why does the law allow that?

He's seems like a good fellow.
