Quaid can be seen in "The Brokeback Mountain (2005)", "Ice Harvest (2005)" and the independent film "The Milwaukee, Minnesota (2003)". His career started off in award nomination fashion with the fragile, sweet characters he created in such films as "Last Detail (1973)" (Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination), "The Last Picture Show (1971)" and "Midnight Express (1978)". He has proven an actor of dominating and even intimidating strength, most memorably in his Emmy Award-nominated and Golden Globe winning television performance as President Lyndon B. Johnson in "LBJ: The Early Years (1987) (TV)". Quaid has delighted filmmakers and fans alike with the range and mobility of his talent, with his adventurous quest to stretch the variety of his characterizations and even with the skill with which he has morphed his appearance. Like the other great-unchained character lead stars of all time, Quaid has been, by turns, dangerous, romantic, tragic and wackily comedic ("Kingpin (1996)", "Independence Day (1996)"). His stage credits include the New York off-Broadway productions of Sam Shepard's "God Of Hell" and "True West". hide |
