That Time TOM WELLING & BRENDAN FRASER Almost Died On Set

It's really nice to hear about Brendan Fraser, he's such an amazing actor and person.

[@ManChild1980]

Have you had a chance to meet him?

[@WabiSabiful]

With the user name you have, please tell me you're watching Doom Patrol. He's amazing on it.

@@ManChild1980 Him being francophone, He used to come in France, alot in his heydays. He came over in Paris, for that movie, with Liz Hurley. I met him and got autograph for my VHS of Encino Man. As gentle and reserved as He project. I don't think He quite realised the joy He brought to millions across the world. But I'm forever grateful and hope He can still continue safely doing,what He loves.

Another great interview with Tom Welling. This was a crazy story with Brendan Fraser. Professionals seems like a cool project.

[@ztoefy4026]

I'm from South Africa but from Cape Town and Im scared of Joburg city especially when there is taxi violence involved. Glad you are safe and hope things go smoothly for my summer road trip down the coast :)

[@chrisbrunk5541]

It's great to see these actors or actresses that were big (and underappreciated, maybe overexposed) when I was younger getting their due and getting more work. I remember reading a great personal piece on Fraser years ago and the guy is very down to earth, humble. I believe the writer showed up to his property and he was splitting logs for his woodpile

[@zakiya1104]

South African over here🙋‍♀️. It's so crazy to hear about your experience in my country😔. Luckily, I have not seen the taxi violence in person, but I do live in Cape Town. I hope you visited Cape Town and had a better experience!

It would be great to see the Luthers sit and talk, a little father and son talking points. Schneider gives you praise on his YT channel. Maybe have him on sometime. It would be amazing to get.

I still don't know what possesses people to locate film crews to legitimately dangerous locations to get production values. Getting accidentally shot by your co-star due to a mishap is bad enough, but to get shot on purpose by real bad hombres is just not fucking worth it.

[@FMpimper]

Money. Turns out it's much cheaper to shot outside the US. South African film industry has grown a lot these past few years. Lots of US shows and movies are being filmed here.

[@petewillson205]

@@FMpimper yeah it was a dirt cheap production, used to sell the show to streamers. Then CW picked it up 2-3yrs later, I think Tom was a executive producer and Brandon's career was dead at that point it was made before suicide squad.

[@sitarobinson6544]

CW finally aired it the end of last year and I really like the show! I think if people realize it's on (I personally don't think enough advertisement for it happened), they will watch and it will get picked up. With all the harrowing situations on the show, it's a little scary and very interesting to know that being on location for filming was kind of almost just as dangerous! I've worked lots of different productions and never felt like I could die at any time going to and from set. Of course I've only filmed in southeastern North Carolina and north and eastern South Carolina in the USA, so that might not be saying much. Except for the times we filmed in bat guano filled defunct cement plant, the time I got heat stroke from being in sun too long on a small airport tarmac or working outside at night being a person allergic to mosquitoes, nothing too serious. I hope that dangerous part of their filming is taken care of when they go back for a second season!
