Biography
Dennis Quaid
Dennis Quaid I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.

Handsome and able to communicate a rangy charm in front of the camera, Dennis Quaid won heartthrob status for such films as The Big Easy, but found it difficult maintaining this standing. He fully recovered from a mid-career slump, however, with a multi award-winning performance as a closeted homosexual in Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven (2002).

The son of an electrician and younger brother of actor Randy, Dennis was born in Texas in 1954. He began acting in high school, and in college enrolled in a drama program. He dropped out, aged 20, to follow his brother to Hollywood and spent the next year mired in rejection.

He got his first break in 1977 when he was cast in a minor role in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden but it was not until 1983, in his role as astronaut Gordo Cooper in The Right Stu
