Canadian English
Brendan Fraser was born in Indiana, raised in Europe, Canada, and ended up in Seattle while also going to school in Toronto at the time. In interviews, he often insists to be "American" rather than considered Canadian, which he has citizenship of, as well. But have you ever noticed that he is more prone to speak Canadian English than American English? There are plenty of words he pronounces like Canadians do.
It first dawned on me when I watched the bar scene in Extraordinary Measures. Harrison Ford is known to speak Standard American English, but they pronounce the word "research" differently.
In Standard American, Harrison says "Ree-search" and puts the emphasis on the first syllable, whereas Brendan says "R'Search" putting the empahsis on the last one 'search' like Canadians do.
In earlier interviews he pronounces 'absolute' "up-solute" and not 'app-solute' like an American would. And so on...
It's very interesting to listen to. Obviously, he is more Canadian than he wants to admit. Not sure why he wants to deny it. Both beautiful countries.
