Randy Quaid: Legal Issues
Randy Quaid has been involved in various legal disputes over the years. In 2005, he sued Focus Films for $10 million for his role in Brokeback Mountain. He claimed that the company “actively disguised the picture as a low-budget art house feature to get his talents at below-market pay.”
Prior to being banned from the Actors Equity Union in 2008, Quaid withdrew his complaint against the production company. Reuters reported that Quaid was fined $81,000 for alleged inappropriate behavior during rehearsals for the Broadway musical Lone Star Love. Reports suggested Quaid was “verbally and physically violent” to production staff and fellow performers. In 2009, he and his wife, Evi, were arrested for an alleged scam involving the use of an invalid credit card to make a $10,000 payment to a Santa Barbara homeowner.
Although the prosecution was later dismissed due to lack of evidence, the couple faced another arrest in 2010 for “squatting” in one of their former homes. Quaid claimed the property was never formally sold, while the then-owners accused the couple of causing $30,000 in damage. The couple failed to appear in court, leading to a US wanted list, causing them to seek refuge in Canada. After leaving the US, they alleged they were being pursued by a group called the “Star Wackers.”
Randy Quaid: Ethnicity
Evi was granted Canadian citizenship in 2011, based on her ethnicity, whereas Quaid’s application for permanent residency was denied. He was also detained for outstanding warrants in the US. The couple sued the State Department in 2014 for withholding their passports, but they were required to return to the US to address previous allegations. Canada ultimately decided to deport the duo after Quaid exhausted his legal options. Shortly before their deportation in 2015, the pair attempted to cross the border into Vermont and were arrested by US customs. They were taken to separate detention facilities, each with a $500,000 bond.
Initial reports suggested they would be extradited to California to face charges. However, a Vermont court overturned the extradition order due to “irregularities” in the case. The couple was subsequently granted unconditional residency in the state. Although speculations surfaced that they would be arrested if they left Vermont, the couple traveled to California for a vacation in 2017 without facing arrest.
