HOUSTON – Get ready to laugh, tear up, and fall for Brendan Fraser all over again.
The Academy Award Winning actor is back on our screens with a story that’s as heartwarming as it is hilarious.
In ‘Rental Family,’ he steps into a role that proves sometimes the people you choose really can become family—even if you hired them.
His new film is a beautifully quirky reminder that finding connection doesn’t always look the way you expect.
Set against modern-day Tokyo, ‘Rental Family’ follows an American actor (Fraser) who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese “rental family” agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.
Lauren Kelly caught up with the actor all about the new movie that proves even the most unconventional families can bring out the best in us.
