Clayton Davis The love for Brendan Fraser continues to grow following his acclaimed turn in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” generating tons of Oscar buzz. “It’s the right actor, for the right part, at the right time,” Darren Aronofsky says in the Variety Studio presented by King’s Hawaiian at TIFF.

While at the Toronto International Film Festival for the movie, Fraser, along with writer Samuel D. Hunter and his fellow cast members Sadie Sink and Ty Simpkins, spoke with Variety about taking on the difficult role of a 600-pound man, which required up to four hours of prosthetics and makeup. “It was designed specifically to obey laws of gravity and physics,” Fraser says. “It wasn’t built for just a silhouette or a one-note joke.” “It’s a funny movie,” Aronofsky adds. “The laughs are nonstop and it’s hard to remember because there’s a lot of humanity up there and there’s a lot of truth.

There’s top-of-the-game acting going on.” The film received a standing ovation at the premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where Fraser burst into tears.

The actor got misty-eyed again in the Variety Studio while his fellow filmmakers spoke about their favorite Fraser roles. On Sunday, he received the TIFF Tribute Award for his performance, with a highlight reel of his most memorable films playing before he took the stage.
