Brendan Fraser poses for photos before receiving the TIFF Tribute Award for Performance for TheWhale.

” received a passionate standing ovation at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere on Sunday. The crowd stood for roughly five minutes until festival organizers quieted the applause to begin a question and answer session with Fraser, director Darren Aronofsky, writer Samuel D. Hunter and cast members Sadie Sink and Ty Simpkins.

“You need to be an incredibly strong individual to be that man,” Fraser said. “Because at the end of the day, I could take the apparatus off and, while I felt dizziness, something about that stayed with me… I learned that when you just invest everything you can and give it what you’ve got as if it’s the first and last time you ever will, something important can come of that. And I think that with your help we might be able to change some hearts and minds.

The supporting cast also includes Hong Chau and Samantha Morton. The movie is based on the play of the same name by Hunter, who adapted the stage script into Aronofsky’s feature. The director labored for a decade to make the movie, but he couldn’t find the right person to bring Charlie to life. “Actors that are hungry is a super important thing, because these roles are really difficult,” he said. “You just have to find the actor at the right time in their career who is ready to work hard.”
