10 Awesome Actors Who Just Dropped Off The Face Of The Earth

9. Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid's last acting credit was 2009's Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach and it's hard to imagine that it's his finest work. The actor is more well known for his crazy role as Eddie in the National Lampoon's Vacation movies. He's also appeared in more recent fare like The Ice Harvest and Brokeback Mountain. He was a funny and wild actor and one has to wonder what the hell happened to the trailer park dad that stole our hearts in Independence Day... Acting doesn't seem to be a top priority for the funnyman today. He's gone crazier than cousin Eddie. Trouble began brewing for the actor after he filmed his small role in Brokeback Mountain. Quaid sued Focus Features after the movie made far more than anyone involved expected. A representative later claimed the suit was dropped because Quaid received a bonus, but the studio denied any such bonus was paid. After that, there were just a lot of random stories involving Quaid that involved skipping out on hotel bills and not appearing in court to faces charges of burglary and fraud. The actor has recently been trying to gain permanent resident status in Canada where he is currently staying. He was denied probably based on the fact that he's still wanted in the United States. Though he claims he won't return to the States because too many celebrities have died under mysterious circumstances and he fears the "Hollywood star whackers" will come after him should he return. Quaid will probably never act again, but his recent escapades would make for a hell of a movie.
