Catching Up With Actor Dennis Quaid
The American Sweetheart
Dennis Quaid has long been hailed a Hollywood heartthrob. Being active in the business for roughly five decades, he has certainly made his mark. Playing various roles, Quaid broke out at a young age.
However, Quaid had a reticent, all-consuming, secluded thought he refused to share with the world – until now. Dennis Quaid decided to break his silence and speak out about something the public suspected for years.
Can I Get A Hallelujah?

Hailing from the lone star state, Quaid was no stranger to religion. He was born and raised a Southern Baptist. But his religion took a turn for the worse when he entered Hollywood. Questionable characters helped to sway him from his righteous path.
As is the case with many Hollywood celebs nowadays. However, things were bound to become stormy for the star. But no one knew his struggle better than his own blood.
Battle Of The Brothers
Randy Quaid is the lesser known of the Quaid brothers. Even though he initially broke out onto the scene before Dennis, his younger brother soon began to outshine him. Certainly, this must’ve had some sort of damper effect on Randy.
However, he had to witness something far more painful. He watched as his brother began to dabble in the evils of Hollywood. Randy often kept to himself and stayed on the straight and narrow. But his younger brother was not quite the same.
Fame Is A Fickle Thing
Even though his brother had managed to scoop an Academy Award, Dennis originally was not so lucky. For years, the star battled to find his big break. Until one day, he was cast in a life-changing role. In 1979, “Breaking Away” hit cinema screens.
And from then on, Quaid’s life would change forever. And not for the better. Because with stardom came a lot of trials. And one, in particular, Quaid was not able to overcome.
The C Word Of The 80’s

The 80’s marked the decade of Dennis Quaid. The star was soaring to fame through role after role. He managed to climb the stardom ladder in leaps and bounds. But there was something else beginning to make its mark on the world in the 80’s.
As Quaid rose to fame, so too did cocaine grow in popularity. And unfortunately, the white powder didn’t escape the attention of Quaid. But nothing was as detrimental as Quaid’s next role.
