Dennis Quaid Says He's Voting Trump

I’ll tell you why this is the talk in Hollywood right now. Not many Tinseltown personalities support Donald Trump, and the small minority that does would NEVER admit it in public. It’s damn-near career suicide.

Who would actually have the balls to admit that they voted for Trump? So far, just Jon Voight, James Woods, Jim Caviezel, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Stephen Baldwin … you get the picture. I’m obviously against any form of blacklist going around based purely on political leanings, but that’s where we’re at right now.

Enter Dennis Quaid. The actor, 70, was just interviewed on Piers Morgan’s show and announced his support for Trump. There goes whatever’s left of his career in Hollywood, not that he would care much — Quaid has made it his calling to star in faith-based movies this last decade.

Showbiz411’s Roger Friedman:

Put a fork in him. He’s done […] I don’t know if Dennis has a publicist, but whoever it is must be having a stroke right about now.

Quaid, who stars as Ronald Reagan in an upcoming biopic, set for August release, didn’t even hesitate when asked about his political leanings for 2024, “I’m going to vote for him,” Quaid said, signaling his support for the former President. The response came as a surprise to Morgan, who probed further about the potential backlash.

Quaid admits that he was initially hesitant to vote for Trump, but that he changed his mind after seeing the “weaponization of our justice system” and the “challenge to our Constitution.”

“I was ready not to vote for Trump until what I saw is more than politics,” Quaid said. “I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution… Us as Americans that I don’t think we’re going to have.”

“Trump is the most investigated person, probably in the history of the world, and they haven’t been able to really get him,” he said. Despite anticipating criticism, Quaid remains staunch in his position. “People might call him an asshole, but he’s my asshole,” he said.

Quaid just starred in one of the best reviewed films at Cannes, “The Substance,” which took home the Best Screenplay award. However, as mentioned, these last five years he’s starred in faith-based movies, marketed for conservative-minded audiences, they include “The Hill,” “On A Wing and Prayer,” “I Can Only Imagine.” It’s seemingly fitting that Quaid will now be playing one of the most worshipped conservatives in history. “Reagan” will most probably paint a very favorable picture of the 40th President.

Whatever you think of Quaid’s political leanings, he’s had quite the career with notable performances in “Far From Heaven,” “The Right Stuff,” “Traffic,” and "Breaking Away” He will be missed.
