every two minutes by young girls."
       Fraser should be used to wowing women.  At Seattles' Cornish College of the Arts,  "He had to put a T-shirt on in front of everyone, and everyone clapped," says teacher Craig Latrell.  "He was like Harrison Ford."  In Seattle, Fraser met Hollywood casting director Sharon Bialy, who was in town to scout for the film Bound by Honor.  Bialy told the "very shy and very gawky" Fraser he was wrong for the part--a Latino kid.  But after "he came alive when he started to read with me," she suggested he visit her in L.A.  Fraser borrowed his moms' car and didn't stop till he got to Hollywood and Vine--where his welcome to the 

bigtime came in the form of a parking ticket.  Bialy introduced him to agents, and Fraser soon landed the lead in School Ties.  "He had instant charisma," says Paramount chairman Sherry Lansing, who was at his audition.
         Not long after that, he landed an even bigger 
prize--his future wife.  In 1993 Airheads director Lehmann brought Fraser to Winona Ryders' Fourth of July barbecue, where he met first Smiths' collie mix Wylie, then  Smith herself.  Fraser went on to spend the day with the long-haired beauty and her owner.  Last fall, Fraser and Smith were married  at L.A.'s Hotel Bel-Air.  "When Brendan saw her, he was really emotional,' says wedding planner Mindy Weiss, who watched his eyes mist over during the ceremony.  These days the pair enjoy having dinner parties at home--talking, says frequent guest Shankman, "about everything from current events to Aftons' latest obsession, and you can see the delight in Brendans' eyes because Aftons' so passionate when she talks.
He's just madly in love with her."  Dave Foley, Frasers' Blast costar, who invited the couple over to watch old movies, says, "They're one of those couples where you go, 'I really can't imagine them ever fighting.'"
       Mr. Nice Guy won't have to stretch much for his next role, Dudley Do-Right (coming in August)--especially since Frasers' great-grandfather was a Canadian Mountie.  Nor does Fraser have to fake his easy good cheer with fans, especially small fry.  When tykes ask, "Can I take a picture of you?" says Shankman, Fraser always answers, "No, but you can take a picture with me."  Dudley costar Sarah Jessica Parker calls it the mark of someone "who was really well raised."  Case in point: When Dudley director Hugh Wilson mentioned that his teenage daughter was feeling blue while away at prep school, former preppie Fraser gave her a call.  "It made her an instant celebrity on the second floor of her dorm," says Wilson.  "But that's typical Brendan.  Brendan's kind of a do-right guy."
