Brendan Fraser – On Taking Risks, Hollywood, and His New Film “Pressure” | The Daily Show

The Daily Show | May 20, 2026



“We want to be taken somewhere. We want to be shown something new. We want to feel like we’ve learned something.” Academy Award-winning actor Brendan Fraser joins Ronny Chieng to talk about playing General Dwight D. Eisenhower in his new film, “Pressure,” a project that checks every one of those boxes. Fraser shares how indie films have helped him redefine his career, what drew him to this untold World War II story, the future of theaters as technology evolves, what audiences are hungry for right now, and the possibility of another Mummy movie. #DailyShow #BrendanFraser #Pressure #Eisenhower

    The Coast Guard failed to enforce my federal title of ownership which is a federal violation in spite of the report of theft. The Washington State Environmental and Land Use Hearings Office facilitated and assisted in the illegal seizure of my federally titled vessel, the STERLING AX699316822419, which was stolen on the 10th of March 2022 and therefore moved in violation of Federal Boarding Policy and Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution governing over federally titled vessels and ownership rights under fraudulent statement and claims. This audit office denies State department involvement however. The Port of Seattle gave fraudulent statement to the Washington State Environmental and Land Use Board claiming my boat was abandoned because the mooring paperwork had not been handed in after I bought her from a fishing company which had her docked at Fisherman's Terminal; when in fact they had refused my paperwork because I didn't have insurance yet and their company policy required a $300K policy. Insurance is not a legal requirement for privately owned vessels and not having any isn't a legitimate reason to deny safe harbor and mooring rights. I submitted an appeal to the State, and after the preliminary hearing on the 8th of February '22, a hearing date was set for the 11th of March '22. The Port of Seattle then gave false statement to the Seattle Police Department claiming that the State said my boat was theirs on 8/2/22 during the preliminary hearing and tried to have me arrested for breaking and entering and trespassing on the 16th of February '22. The police verified my federal title of ownership and admitted that they didn't have jurisdiction and left. This attempt on my property was then reported to the State, who replied in writing, stating that they had not given permission over my federal title, nor did they have jurisdiction to do so. The Port of Seattle lied. The Port of Seattle then took illegal possession of my boat on the 10th of March 2022 and did so without permission or authorization and in spite of the State's verification that they did not have authority to do so. They acted alone and without police or the Coast Guard present. This incident was reported to the police, the Coast Guard, and this State department, and the criminal acts have been disregarded and ignored at my expense and in disregard of federal law. I have the current and legally standing federal title of ownership in hand, indicating to the fact that federal policy and procedures have been violated in a repugnant move against Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution and federal maritime law in regards to title requirements. This State department then paid over $200K of taxpayer money out to the Port of Seattle who demolished my live aboard home and sold off the parts. Washington State then tried to come after me for the debt and sold the collections account off to a collection company while claiming it was legally standing when it isn't. That's racketeering and fraud by a State Department. The collections company tried collecting at over $250K, including collections fees, and were denied because I have the legally standing federal title of ownership in hand. The Dept. of Homeland Security has sole jurisdiction over federally titled vessels, and no State or City department has jurisdiction over and above them. The State Board assisted in and facilitated the act of piracy, and even though it has been reported to the authorities and this audit department, nothing has been done about it. Yet they will still take that taxpayer money to do that job they don't do, just like the Coast Guard and authorities. Report # H-26-302 with this audit office.

    Ronnie just named three guys for his next movie… cannot wait! Now, as for history – Ike sure commited acts of anger commanding troops that attacked WWI veterans demonstrating for their deserved bonus early, as many were broke in the early depression and Congress, which had the money, refused them… Ike also sat for years, allowing his party and McCarthy ruin hundreds of lives, destroying the 1st and 5th amendments with lies and distortions (though, some accusations were true, but what a way to do it…)

    I don't think I have seen bro been so nervous in an interview in a long while, but it must be a bit like meeting your hero. I am glad he did bring up how Brendan is beloved in a very unique way, similar to Keanu. We need a movie with those two in it. The Mummy meets John Wick, Orrrr wait no, George of the Jungle meets John Wick and somebody ape-naps the Ape again, and this time John Wick is on the case! It writes itself lawl XD
