Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese recently said at a press conference (via LADbible) that Brendan Fraser is “perfect” in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The actor, who won the Oscar this year for his performance in “The Whale,” has been panned by many fans since “Flower Moon” opened in the theaters, with viewers claiming his over-the-top acting feels largely out of place in the film. Fraser has a brief supporting turn as W. S.
Hamilton, the boisterous attorney for William Hale (Robert De Niro). “We thought he’d be great for the lawyer and I admired his work over the years,” Scorsese when asked about casting Fraser in the film, which has turned out to be a divisive choice. “He actually came in for I think a couple of weeks on the picture, particularly when it was in our later shoot.

“And he had that girth. He’s big in the frame at that time. He’s a wonderful actor, and he was just great to work with.” Fraser doesn’t enter “Flower Moon” until its third act, when Hale and Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) stand trial for the murder of many Osage members.
