“The Whale” star got emotional while accepting the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the 2023 SAG Awards.
The actor said that Ian McKellan told him that if he won and got to make an acceptance speech, he should “be good, be brief and be seated.”
However, Fraser’s speech turned out to be much longer than the allotted time limit as he even mused about the SAG award itself. “This is good,” he said while looking at his trophy, which he called “sort of naked man making up his mind to smile or to frown — like an actor.” “I will treasure this but never more than what I treasured that I used to keep in my wallet which was my SAG card which I earned in 1991,” the “George of the Jungle” star went on.
“It made me feel like I belonged. We’re actors, we all want to belong to a tribe and that’s where I found my tribe,” “The Mummy” star reflected.“Believe me, if you just stay in there and you put one foot in front of the other, you’ll get to where you need to go,” he told his fellow actors. “Have courage.”
