541.0. "The Randy Quaid Digression <moved by mod>" by 7361::RUZICH (Realtime Software Engineering) Tue May 03 1994 13:34

    RE: Randy Quaid
    
    Randy Quaid did an excellent job in The Last Detail, as a young Navy
    private being brought to prison by a couple of MPs.  The MPs, one of
    whom was Jack Nicholson, decide that the kid deserves to have a good
    time once before spending his life in military prison.  A great flick.
    
    I think that was him in the truck fooling around with Sybil Shepherd
    (sp?) in The Last Picture Show.
    
    Sorry for the digression, but I really like Randy Quaid whenever I see
    his work.  Yeah, he gets some unexciting roles, but the guy's a
    terrific actor.

	He was good as the sheriff in "The Wraith", and he was very strange as the neighbor in "Moving" with Richard Pryor. And he was good in "Caddyshack II" as the lawyer. Heck, he's good in everything he does. GTI
541.2	Not to digress on Randy Quaid, but...	23989::POGAR	Movie Critic-Costner Specialist	`Tue May 03 1994 15:00`	4
	Randy Quaid also has an interesting role in THE PAPER. Catherine

	I think the Dad in Parents was Randy Quaid. I never worked out whether the child was screwy because his parents were normal consumerist 50s Americans, or whether he was normal and his parents were really like that. Though I suspect the latter.... Helen
541.4	Great supporting actor	5315::CLARK		`Mon Jul 04 1994 16:36`	4
	His "Cousin Eddie" roles in National Lampoon's Vacation and Chritmas Vacation are tremendously funny. The scene with him emptying the chemical toilet down the storm drain almost had me falling off the couch. This guy adds a lot to any movie he's in.
