Dennis Quaid is starring as former US President Ronald Reagan in the biopic Reagan.
And he told KCLU this week that it at first he pushed away from playing the 40th President because he worried about playing a real person.
'I originally turned it down. I felt a tinge of fear up my spine and that's when I said yes. That's usually when I should do something, when it's out of my comfort zone,' said the ex husband of Meg Ryan.
No then yes: Dennis Quaid is starring as former US President Ronald Reagan in the biopic Reagan. And he told KCLU this week that it at first he pushed away from playing the 40th President because he worried about playing a real person
And he also shared that he is a fan of the Republican.
'Ronald Reagan was my favorite president. I voted for him, I think I was 30 at the time. I had a rented apartment back then that I shared with a guy. He said, 'who did you vote for?' I said, 'Ronald Reagan.' He said, 'You are kicked out of the hippies.' But I loved Reagan and I voted for him twice.'
Quaid told KCLU reporter Caroline Feraday he filmed some parts of the movie at the Reagan Ranch in Goleta, Santa Barbara County.
'It's not open to the public and it's an amazing place. Much smaller than I would have thought. I realized when I went up there that Reagan was a very humble man. The house itself where he had Gorbachev and the Queen of England came too, is total of probably 1500 square feet.
