PEOPLE, Page 81Survival of The Fittest
By WENDY COLE
"I hopped around the room, knocked over plants and uttered
unintelligibly." And all with such flair that BRENDAN FRASER
beat out 125 auditioning Cro-Magnons to star in Encino Man. "I
fashioned my movements and energy after a dog I once knew." His
role in School Ties, due this fall, was less of a stretch.
Fraser, who attended an elite Canadian boarding school, plays
an athlete at an American prep school in the 1950s who faces
prejudice because he is Jewish. He recalls his own alienation
as a student. "I was intimidated rooming with the sons of
Cabinet members and the Prime Minister," he said. "They all
wanted to become politicians. I wanted to be an actor." So much
for popularity polls.
