Biographie

Older brother of Dennis Quaid. The two have not communicated in over 20 years due to a bad real estate deal in Montecito, California.

Upon arriving in Hollywood, he found work as a janitor on Hollywood Boulevard. Within one year, he had been cast in La dernière corvée (1973) and later earned Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Award nominations.

An arrest warrant was issued for Randy and his wife, Evi Quaid, for failure to show up at a Santa Barbara, California court for an unpaid hotel bill on April 14, 2010. In a plea bargain, he was found not guilty of skipping out of the bill, while Evi was sentenced to a misdemeanor on April 28.

Randy Quaid in 2010 had applied for refugee status from "Hollywood StarWhackers" in British Columbia Canada with his wife Evi who turned out to be 1/2 Canadian. They withdrew the refugee claims as a result of Evi Quaid being a duel citizen.

Married his wife, Evi Quaid, three times, once in Monticeto, California. Once in Hollywood close to his favorite hotel and Walk of Fame star, and once in Toronto, Canada since becoming a refugee claimant. They were married at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California in 1989. 20 years later in 2009, they were arrested for allegedly defrauding the innkeeper, conspiracy, and burglary after allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 bill at the same hotel after an extended stay there in June 2009. Later it was learned the credit card used was overcharged by $73,000.
