Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid belongs to that rare class of character actors who can quietly steal a film from its leads. The Academy Award nomination for The Last Detail came when he was barely into his twenties, which tells you the instincts were there from the start. What I admire is the range: from the bruised innocence of his early dramatic work to broad comedy to a Golden Globe-winning turn as President Lyndon Johnson. That kind of elasticity is craft, not luck. His voice work proves he can build a character with sound alone, and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame honors a genuinely singular body of work.
