Dennis Quaid explains how the parent trap makes him play the happy face killer
Dennis QuaidRole as a convicted killer Keith Hunter Jespers and Parent TrapNick Parker – But the movie may somehow make him score Happy face show.
In with US WeeklyQuaid, 70, was asked about his time playing Nick Parker in the iconic 1998 film, to which he said: “I think that’s why they hired me [on Happy Face] Tell you the truth. I tried to capture the truth about this guy, but it wasn’t a pretty fact. ”
Quaid breaks the way he plays Jesperson, 69, which involves being too close to the material.
“I didn’t see him on purpose, because [Jesperson’s daughter] Melissa [Moore] Write this book [that inspired the show]. I think she knows him better than he knows he is,” the actor said. Because I think he lied to himself a lot. It’s the only way you can do these things. Rationalize. Serial killers don’t feel. Otherwise, how do they do their jobs?”
Happy face Inspired by Moore’s “Happy Face” podcast and her 2009 autobiography, Broken silence. Moore continued to serve as Jespson’s daughter when he continued to serve his sentence after murdering at least eight women in the early 1990s.
Quaid was already a real crime fan before attending the show. “What I love about this show is real. That’s what it’s aiming for,” he shared with him us. “I’m asleep Data line Always – in a good way. But if you like real crime, you will be addicted to it. ”
Quaid admits that even if he didn’t reach out with Jespers, the prisoner could still have his own ideas about the series.
“I don’t care what he thinks, tell you the truth,” he explained. “I hope he won’t go to the show because I’m sure he’s interested in watching the show. He’s bored in prison.”
After Hayley Mills attracted fans in 1961’s The Parent Trap, Disney restarted the Classics and produced the same hits as the big box office hits. The 1998 film starred Lindsay Lohan in the same twins, Annie James and Hallie Parker following their sisters after reuniting while attending the same camp Walden […]
The actor continued: “He was in a hole in the prison, and that was exactly where he was supposed to go. I didn’t want to give him any kind of satisfaction or excitement. In this story, it’s actually from his daughter’s perspective.”
Although not looking for Jesperson’s opinion, Quaid prefers to bring a real person to life.
“I like to play real people because real stories are stranger than novels,” Quaid told us. “You can’t make these things out. But usually I like to meet real people because they’re still alive because I want to play it from their perspective. But, I don’t want to see him.”
