Sadie Sink admits she didn’t know much about Brendan Fraser until she was cast as his estranged daughter in Darren Aronofsky’s movie “The Whale.”
“To be honest, I haven’t seen any of his movies. Of course, now I’ve seen all of them,” the 20-year-old actor told me at the New York City premiere of “Whale” Tuesday night at Alice Tully Hall.
Sink favorite? “I love School Ties,” said the “Stranger Things” star. Fraser starred in the 1992 drama as a Jewish high school student who attends an exclusive prep school on a football scholarship. He decides to hide being Jewish when he realizes that several of his classmates — including That those played by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon – anti-Semites.
“I think Brendan is good at it,” Sink said.

Among the guests at the premiere was Ellen Burstyn, who received an Academy Award nomination for her work in Aronofsky’s 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream. Borstein and Aronofsky walked the carpet together before the screening of “The Whale.” When the director later announced that she was there during the film’s presentation, the audience erupted into applause when Burstein stood up and waved to the crowd. The acting icon will turn 90 on December 7.
“I think the first award I got was a date with Elaine when she was nominated for ‘Requiem for a Dream,’” Aronofsky told me on the carpet. “I was her plus one. This was the first time I really experienced it [award seasons]. ”
