Nick Offerman Calls Dennis Quaid ‘Crazy’ for Trump Support
'Parks & Rec' alum worked with Hollywood legend before publicly attacking him
Dennis Quaid is a survivor.
The 71-year-old star shined brightly in the 1980s and 1990s, racking up sizable roles in films like “The Right Stuff,” “Great Balls of Fire” and “The Big Easy.” He battled addiction along the way, leaning on his faith to get clean and sober.
He kept working across genres, eventually shifting to supporting roles in recent years. That’s no small feat in an uber-competitive industry like Hollywood.
His biggest career trick came courtesy of “Reagan.” Quaid not only starred as the 40th president but admitted he voted for President Donald Trump during the extended press tour. The new Hollywood Blacklist that targets conservative stars either gave him a pass or recognized his talent can’t be denied.
How do we know?
He’s kept on working despite his political views, including new films like “War Machine” and “I Can Only Imagine 2.”
Now, he’s coming under fire from a colleague for his right-leaning views.
Quaid co-starred with Nick Offerman in “Sovereign.” The film finds the “Parks & Recreation” alum playing an extremist whose distrust of the government leads to a violent confrontation. Quaid plays a local police chief investigating the matter.
Offerman brought up the experience with Quaid on the far-Left podcast “Lovett or Leave It,” hosted by former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett.
Offerman describes Quaid as a “crazy Trump guy with a gospel record.”
“Right after we finished the movie, he suddenly came out with a gospel country record and went on Tucker Carlson and f***ing [Sean] Hannity to play his Trump gospel songs,” Offerman said, smiling.
“What? He’s a hero of my life. I’ve looked up to him. He’s a great actor,” Offerman said.
Lovett mentioned that the actor’s brother, Randy Quaid, was the “crazy” one. Randy Quaid left Hollywood several years ago under dubious circumstances and remains outside the system.
“He was very crazy and he went away, but Dennis kept it under wraps until last year,” he continued. “But he’s now gone.”
Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
It’s disappointing that he doesn’t handle opposing views very well. How sad that he’s a Hollywood clone.
Offerman is incapable of introspection. Like all the Left. They are so invested in their own ‘goodness’ they can’t possibly imagine they could be wrong. Or evil. And yet……….
Haven’t been able to look at Offerman the same after he got railed by another dude in The Last of Us.
What about actors who played serial killers, WW2 Nazis, psychos or wife-beaters etc in movies? Are you able to look at them the same? Or is it just when they play gay people that you have issues?
Nick reads words that other people write down for him. He’s so smart.
Nick puts on costumes and plays make believe. He’s so real.
Nick voted for the cigar-hiding-Bill Clinton (twice). He’s so morally superior.
14:59…….14:58…….14:57…….14:56……
Keep talking, Nick. The more you talk, the less money your acting makes the powers that be, the sooner we don’t have to see your ever larger face anymore.
The Democrat party deliberately tried to collapse this country during the FJB years, open border, weakened military, out of control money stealing, making the next generation insane, etc. Now all Blue states are trashing their economies to take down Trump. I no longer care what their supporters want or believe and neither should you.
Never watched the show, never heard of the guy, though he stupid looking face seems familiar.
Does Nick Offerman not understand why he’s becoming box office poison? This is why.
I guess True Value paid offerman a boatload of money to do their commercials.
F*** Nick offerman
The arrogance of these “liberals” is just stunning. No self-awareness whatsoever.
