Tulkinghorn thought hunky actor Brendan Fraser had enough on his hands rubbing shoulders with Michael Caine in The Quiet American and fighting off the bad guys in The Mummy Returns. But no.

Going by the name of Alex Read, Fraser's swashbuckling looks have won him a growing fan base in London legal circles. Apparently, he has always had a soft spot for England ever since a childhood holiday when he saw a West End matinee of Oliver. Memery Crystal's offices are, of course, conveniently situated for theatreland.
