Three years after his triumphant Oscar win for “The Whale,” Brendan Fraser has found his next deeply personal project in an unlikely place: Tokyo. In Hikari’s “Rental Family,” Fraser plays Philip, an American actor adrift in Japan who discovers unexpected purpose - and genuine human connection - when he’s hired to play a surrogate family

In this gentle comedy from the one-named Japanese director Hikari, an agency specializes in providing actors to make life's tough moments go a little more smoothly.

"Rental Family" is a new movie that just opened to rave reviews. It stars Brendan Fraser as an American actor struggling to find work in Japan who takes a job "pretending" to be a loved one for complete strangers.
