On March 6, 2026, actor Dennis Quaid made headlines during an appearance on The Greg Laurie Show, where he discussed the extreme left shift in Hollywood. Quaid, who has portrayed notable figures such as Ronald Reagan in the 2024 film Reagan, described himself as a ‘commonsense independent’ who leans more conservative.

Narrowing Down the Discussion

During the interview, Quaid expressed concern over the changing political landscape in the entertainment industry, stating, “What used to be, you can’t be anymore.” His comments reflect a growing sentiment among some artists who feel constrained by the prevailing political climate. Quaid also praised Donald Trump, calling him “very surprisingly approachable and very funny,” highlighting his belief that Trump genuinely cares for the interests of his supporters.

Quaid’s remarks come at a time when many in Hollywood are grappling with the implications of their political affiliations. The actor’s role in the film War Machine, which was released on the same day as his interview, further emphasizes his active engagement in the industry despite his political views. Quaid nearly turned down the role of Reagan due to fears of judgment, illustrating the pressures actors face when navigating their careers alongside their personal beliefs.

Peaches Takes the Spotlight

In a lighter moment during the day, Quaid’s dog, Peaches, made an appearance on the morning show TODAY, wearing a peach-patterned bandana. Quaid shared that he watches the show every morning with Peaches, adding a personal touch to his public persona. This was not Peaches’ first time on the show; she had previously appeared on March 19, 2025, to promote Quaid’s true crime series Happy Face.
