biography

Hailing from a big state known for its bigger-than-life characters, Texan Dennis Quaid was a common sight in dramatic sports films, and certainly no stranger in the role of “roguish charmer” and “Western renegade.” His career got off to an auspicious start in the early 1980s, but by decade’s end, personal problems and drug addiction seemed to have taken a toll on the quality of his work. After a period of recovery, the actor strengthened his focus and began to rebuild a solid reputation as a powerful screen presence, able to helm a box office success and increasingly earning critical kudos.
