10 Actors Who Look RIDICULOUS In Upcoming Movies

3. Dennis Quaid - Reagan

It was really just a matter of time before Hollywood produced a biopic of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and said film will see Dennis Quaid play the part. 

While on paper he doesn't seem like an outrageous or particularly left-field casting choice, being a chisel-jawed middle-aged American man and all, but once the first image of Quaid in character was released, it was tough not to laugh.

The first look at Quaid's Reagan was basically just... Dennis Quaid wearing a cowboy hat. That's it, that's the look.

While on one hand it's laudable that the filmmakers didn't slather Quaid in pounds of suffocating makeup to try and have him more closely resemble his subject, it ultimately looks like the lowest-effort possible attempt to have the actor embody the late POTUS.

Hell, Quaid really bears more of a natural resemblance to Richard Nixon, honestly, so that's probably the part he should've played instead.
