Check out Steve Lensman’s Dennis Quaid You Tube Video
If you do a comment….please ignore the email address and website section.
Thanks for all the info. Dennis Quaid always strikes me as sort of a “sleeper”. He is a good, functional actor, but I never really think his performances are outstanding. Still I like him.
Hey justmesuzanne …thanks for stopping by and reading my Quaid hub….I can agree with your assessment on him…..he is a solid but not spectacular actor…thanks for the compliment.
I love Dennis Quaid! I think he’s a great actor (cute one too)! Lol
I see I have missed severhim movies movies – thanks I’ll check those out:)
Hey RealHouseWife…thanks for stopping by and commenting…my wife also thinks he is a very handsome man….in my opinion he is ok…..lol.
Quaid is very underrated, I was shocked when I saw he has been in movies for 34 years, he was excellent as the dad in Soul Surfer. And Breaking Away is one great movie. I will vote for Willis as the best actor without a nomination, I never understood why he was the only actor left out in Pulp Fiction, his Butch is a classic character.
Hey Shaun….Breaking Away is a classic and it holds up very well, even as 30 years have passed….the lead actor Dennis Christopher never really did much else….as for your selection of Willis as the best actor without a nomination…I agree 100%….I think he has the title and won day they will fix that problem…thanks for the comments.
Rookie and Frequency are a showcase of Quaid’s talent.;)
Hey mentalist acer….wow another throw out to Frequency….I think I am going to have to check it out again…thanks for reading.
Hey come on Cogerson this guys still alive, have we run out of dead actors already? 😉
While I don’t rate him as highly as you do Quaid is a good actor, his best film probably GI Joe Rise of something or other, it won all the Oscars last year.
But seriously I liked him as astronaut Gordon Cooper in The Right Stuff which is one of my favourite films of the 80’s, fantastic film and a great group of actors.
An underrated favourite is Enemy Mine which is a sort of sci-fi remake of John Boorman’s Hell in the Pacific.
And InnerSpace was great fun too, an 80’s variation on the sci-fi classic Fantastic Voyage.
I wasn’t that impressed with his recent output, Quaid could do with a Jeff Bridges type “revival”, if the right film comes along who knows?
Hey Steve…do not worry Mr. Charlton Heston will be the next pub that I get published…..I agree with you I was so disappointed when GI Joe did not get one of the 10 nominations for Best Picture…talk about a movie getting screwed…..lol. Enemy Mine is a great forgotten movie….I always wondered why it never got any serious attention. I think you are correct Quaid needs another great performance to get his career back on track…he has about 4 movies on IMDB coming, maybe one of them will do the trick. Well my Movie Score system ranks him dead last….so many there is a reason he does not have a nomination to his credit.
