Brendan Fraser as a yet-unnamed motorcycle-riding Sergeant. It was initially rumored he would play Gung-Ho, but those rumors turned out false. [23] According to Fraser himself, he plays a motorcycle-riding sergeant who is the descendant of Rick O'Connell, Fraser's own character from Sommers' The Mummy film series. [24]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI_Joe:_Rise_of_CobraBrendan Fraser plays a motorcycle-riding sergeant, Gung-Ho, whom he dubbed a "refugee from the Village People". Fraser stated "i'd like to think of him (the character) as a descendant of Rick O'Connell from The Mummy, thus linking both of Sommers' films.[38] Fraser said that he asked to have a cameo in the film after producer Bob Ducsay told him that the project had been green-lit.[39]
