YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“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
