Alright, so as most of you know Randy Quaid has now hid amongst us Canadians from the supposed Hollywood ‘Star Whackers.’ This news has spread across North America causing debates if Randy Quaid’s efforts to escape these ‘Star Whackers’ is legitimate or has Randy and his wife Evi simply lost their marbles.
Before I get into my opinion watch the two part video below of Randy Quaid’s speech upon arriving in Vancouver explaining to why he’s escaped to Canada and whom he’s escaping from.
I have to say I am very pleased that Randy decided to make this speech to the vancouver media. The problem with most actors is that when the media starts throwing negativity their way instead of standing up for themselves they often get people to talk for them or don’t respond at all.
The way Randy did it was the smart way, he sat down wrote down an intelligent response and read it to the media. The things he’s saying may sound absurd or “crazy” but by the way he’s representing himself and speaking he seems honest and definitely not crazy.
The allegations he’s making are very serious and he actually mentions 3 names of people whom he believes are responsible for the deaths of 8 of his colleagues. The first name I can’t quite make out, The second is Warren Grant his business manager who I wasn’t able to find much information on, and then Finally Lloyd Braun.
Now, Lloyd Braun could sound familiar for several reasons. But for me it was cause Lloyd Braun was a character on Seinfeld “Serenity now, Insanity later.” What I didn’t know until now was that the character was actually named after the Lloyd Braun Randy is referring to because at the time he was Larry Davids Lawyer. He also was one of the men behind Sopranos. He was the one who Greenlit the ‘Lost’ Pilot only to get canned, from there he went to work for Yahoo! Media group in the content division which allowed him to initiate the Celebrity Gossip site ‘OMG!’.
Talk about Jack of all trades, the guy seems like a shark willing to do whatever job as long as it brings in the cash and keeps him in first class. That doesn’t make him a bad guy even though creating a site like OMG! which bashes your past clients and friends is a pretty douche bag move. I wish I knew about the other two characters in question for I’m sure they have a shady past as well.
It’s so hard to formulate an intelligent opinion on such conspiracies when we only have such limited information and especially when it’s regarding people who are high up in the media food chain. For if theres anywhere you can commit crime and get away with it is behind a wall of media, because those puppeteers can censor how much information us regular Joe’s actually get to see.
Anyway, I just wanted to write this article to start a little debate where we can all share our opinions on this Randy Quaid situation. For me, I think Randy is a good actor and an intelligent human being. He does not seem crazy even though his character in National Lampoons makes it hard to not see him like that. But this ‘Star Whacker’ thing just sounds a little convoluted and a lot to take in seriously.
What do you think?
