Brendan Fraser is riding the comeback wave for his starring role in The Whale, Darren Aronofsky's awards-nominated film based on the Samuel D. Hunter play about experiencing grief and finding salvation.

The 54-year-old star plays Charlie, a reclusive English teacher who after the death of his boyfriend, gains hundreds of pounds over several years and finds himself reconnecting with his estranged daughter (portrayed by Stranger Things' Sadie Sink).

Fraser had to wear prosthetics for the role that earned him an Oscar nomination for best actor. He also won a Critics Choice Award and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Co-star Hong Chau also nabbed an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for playing health care worker friend Liz, among other recognitions this awards season. Ty Simpkins and Samantha Morton also star in the movie.

I had to grow back into it and get back the real hunger that I had to tell stories," he said.
