Dennis Quaid has been a Hollywood leading man for decades, fronts a band called The Sharks, and now stars in a new scripted musical podcast called Bear and a Banjo. ✍️ Full show notes and worksheet for this episode: https://jordanharbinger.com/279 What We Discuss with Dennis Quaid: ⭐ Whether or not getting rejected for a coveted job in Hollywood ever gets easier — even when you’ve been getting cast for decades. ⭐ Why Dennis considers fear his greatest motivator — and what this indicates to him when he feels it upon being offered a role. ⭐ The hardest place to get respect, the greatest things our kids teach us, and where dad jokes go to die. ⭐ Listening versus improvising, and how Dennis brings his characters to life without strictly memorizing his lines before arriving on set. ⭐ Accents, biographical misinformation, and how learning to play a real-life astronaut led to Dennis learning how to fly real-life planes. ⭐ And much more… If you’ve watched a movie at any point since the ’70s, I have no doubt you’ve seen Dennis Quaid delivering at least one — or maybe 100 — of his groundbreaking performances. He was Mike in Breaking Away. He played astronaut Gordon Cooper in The Right Stuff. He was Davidge in Enemy Mine. He was Doc Holliday in Wyatt Earp. He was Nick Parker in The Parent Trap. And this is just a very short list. Additionally, he’s been fronting a band — Dennis Quaid and The Sharks — for nearly two decades. Now, he’s a fellow podcaster on Bear and a Banjo. Oh, and did I mention he can also fly planes? In this episode, Dennis opens up about how he taps into his own experiences to play a role, what character research was like in the time before Google (and how it inadvertently led to him learning to fly planes), how his process has changed between now and when he began, the motivating power of fear, what parenting has taught him, and much more.
