As a seasoned film critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I have to say that Dennis Quaid‘s latest venture into biopic territory is a testament to his versatility and passion for portraying iconic figures from American history. Having played presidents before, albeit controversial ones like Bush and Clinton, Quaid has now taken on the role of Ronald Reagan, a man he fondly refers to as “Muhammad Ali of politics.”
In May of this year, Dennis Quaid appeared on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to offer an extraordinary endorsement for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. He described Trump as “my asshole,” but it’s important to note that Ronald Reagan, the character Quaid portrays in the upcoming biopic “Reagan,” which releases on August 30, is actually his preferred “wrinkly old orifice.” During an interview on the “Today” show on August 29, Quaid expressed his admiration for Reagan, stating that he was his favorite president. He likened Reagan to Muhammad Ali, suggesting that showing a picture of him to anyone in the world would elicit the response, “That’s Reagan.”
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but note that Quaid isn’t new to portraying presidential roles. Back in 2006, he was manipulated by a Bush character in “American Dreamz.” In 2010, he stepped into the shoes of Bill Clinton for the TV movie, “The Special Relationship.” Initially slated to play George W. Bush in “American Crime Story: Katrina,” production never commenced due to Ryan Murphy’s distraction. However, there’s an undeniable uniqueness about a renowned conservative actor, appearing in a conservatively themed film (co-starring Jon Voight, unfortunately transformed by the de-aging ray), mere months before an election. The trailer suggests that John Hinckley Jr.’s assassination attempt will be a significant part of the movie, which makes it challenging not to see parallels with our contemporary political landscape.

By far the most interesting part of the conversation, besides the close-ups on Quaid’s miniature English bulldog Peaches, is when he praises Penelope Ann Miller’s performance as Nancy Reagan. “She just was Nancy, even in the lunch line,” he said, explaining how committed she was to staying in character. “At the core, the movie is a love story.” This should excite any Nancy-heads in the crowd, even if the movie is only PG-13. Learning that one specific plotline didn’t trickle down into the final cut is a tough pill to swallow.
Oh, also, Scott Stapp plays Frank Sinatra in this? Well, why didn’t we lead with that?!?
