Anyone Know WTF Is Up W/ Randy Quaid?

Which allows him to get weird roles. There are lots of strange roles nowadays, but Galifinakis is getting them all now. Quaid is on the outside now.

Oh, I think he’ll be on the inside for quite awhile now.

Oh, you meant the Hollywood inside.

Am I supposed to know who that is?

Randy Hickey (played by Ethan Suplee), from the prematurely-cancelled and much-missed TV comedy My Name is Earl, AKA Touched by a Redneck.

I hope the court will order a battery of psychiatric exams for both of them.

The weirdest thing to me remains not that they’re suffering from what seem to be paranoid delusions but that two people seem to be suffering from the same paranoid delusions. Is that common in marriages where both are nuts?

Folie à deux ( madness of two) is rare but not unknown.

Dude, please don’t mention about “My Name is Earl” and its cancellation. I cry when I hear that.

Earl, Randy and especially Crab Man!

What about the kids?

Well, I get the impression that Evi is the one who thinks the Star Whackers are out to get them. If Randy just tends to feel paranoid or persecuted, then having his wife repreatedly validate his feelings, saying: “You’re not paranoid! It’s the Star Whackers!” Then eventually he’s just going to buy into it.

“Star Whackers…” sounds like a Paul Verhoeven direct-to-DVD movie.

Wasn’t there a movie involving a Luke Starwhacker? Star Battles or Space Wars or something like that.

And Catalina, and Joy, and Earl Jr., and Kenny, and Patty the Daytime Hooker, and Mr. Turtle, and… far too many other great characters.

I weep with you.

I can’t help but think of Quaid’s character in Quick Change when I read about this stuff…

His kids can fend for themselves.

I see this as totally earthbound. The Star Wackers need a star chamber of over the hill actors to pass sentences, which would fit in nicely with the recent Hollywood trend of movies like REDS and The Expendables.

They need a team of hot young hitters, with one who ultimately goes rogue and tears down the whole house of cards. And a bunch of victims, including one who refuses to go quietly, and leads the team on a chase around the globe.

Are you kidding? His kids are on the hit team!

The lady’s the one who had the connection with Michael – Evi and Jacko both got drugs from the same doctor.

Natasha Richardson appeared in the 1998 Parent Trap with Dennis Quaid, so perhaps she met Randy through his brother.

she is a Canuck they have to let her stay.

Nadine Velazquez (Catalina) had a bit part on Hawaii 5-0 this week. I recognized her right away and was very happy to see her. :slight_smile: Then I realized how much I miss My Name is Earl. :frowning:

To expand on this a bit, it turns out her father was Canadian. The most recent change in Canadian citizenship law makes all people born to a Canadian citizen outside of Canada themselves Canadian. They’ve eliminated all the arcane rules about when you were born, and whether you were legitimate, and whether your mother had been naturalized U.S. before or after you were born – all of that crap is gone. Citizenship is automatic.

(Just to keep some confusion, this only applies to the first generation. The second generation born outside Canada needs to take positive steps to maintain their citizenship, including living in the country for some time.)

So she can stay, and Randy will have to follow whatever steps are required for the spouse of a citizen.

She landed in The League.
