Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were arrested in Vancouver on Wednesday for immigration violations charges after recently skipping a court date in California. The actor, 60, and his wife, 47, are set to appear before a Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board hearing this afternoon, a spokesman for the department told CTV News. The headline-grabbing couple originally made news back in September when they were charged with felony burglary on suspicion of illegally squatting in the guest house of a California home they owned in the 1990s. Evi was also charged with resisting arrest. Earlier this week, a judge in Santa Barbara issued $50,000 bench warrants when the Quaids failed to show for their arraignment hearing. Celebrity bounty hunter Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman issued a public challenge to the couple on Thursday night, urging Quaid to turn himself in or he would capture them personally. Quaid is best known for his Oscar-nominated role in 1973′s The Last Detail and for playing the wacky cousin Eddie in National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. He is also the brother of actor Dennis Quaid.

They had to replace my metal plate with a plastic one. Every time Catherine would rev up the microwave, I’d piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.
That’s one of my favorite lines. “Merry Christmas….shi**ers full!!!”

Awesome!!!!!!

This has to be one of the least surprising headlines of the year.
Joaquin Phoenix’s character inspiration.
Randy’s was a buddy of mine in high school. His nickname was “Squid”…
Randy’s what was a buddy of yours?
Do….ya… really think it makes a difference Ed?
Read in a newspaper today that they are seeking refuge in Canada because they feel they are being persecuted in America.
Yup. Yup. Yup.
The funniest thing is that they just appeared before the refugee board hearing claiming that their lives would be in danger if they were returned to the USA. They pointed out the “mysterious” deaths of their friends Heath Ledger, Chris Penn and David Carradine. These two get more pathetic by the minute.
Umm.. david C’s death was pretty freaking mysterious… hung to death in a closet? Wtf?
Better living with drugs!! Boy, talk about hitting rock bottom. These two aren’t far away.
They must be into valiums and auto-erotic asphyxiation.
All evidence suggests that these two are mentally I’ll.
I thought all evidence suggest meth-heads.
Meth-heads can be the only explanation. What a waste!!!
Mostly , I think it suggests that these are people who Failed to develop a 2nd skill or save / invest for the time when their hollywood jobs dropped off .
Smart ones invest for that rainy day , sounds like they never did .
Mary I agree with you. This is not the first actor to spend all his earnings and having nothing saved or invested for hard times. But it is the first one I have heard of who feels he can squat in property he no longer owns like it is still his, and stiff innkeepers for thousands of dollars. I wonder if they planned on doing the same thing in Canada.
The bank’s been after me like flies on a ribroast.Ah,, F^&* it. Well, I didn’t want to ask you, Clark, you know, but could you maybe spare a little extra cash?
This is sad. I always did like the “Uncle Eddie” character. Come on Randy, don’t know what’s going on with you, but get it together. “Come on Rusty, let’s go find yer sister.” ~Christmas Vacation

Char, you’re passive-aggressive. You shout your comment, then end it with a smiley face.
Char wasn’t shouting, it’s NATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!!!!!
(see capslockday . com)
Cheers!
people who get bent outta shape over typing in caps are f**king idiots….big f’n deal morons
I agree with John!!!!!!!!!!!
Cap locks online is equivalent to shouting. It’s a social communication thing. Just like you don’t stand 2 inches from someone when you’re talking to them.
Caps also makes things more difficult to read. You don’t see books written in all caps do you?
@john… people who get bent outta shape over people who get bent outta shape over typing in caps are f**king idiots. Oh, and by the way, it’s obvious that you also posted as Char and Patrick. Nice try.
“Daddy says I French kiss the best!”
THE BEST LINE IN MOVIE HISTORY!!! AND I AM NOT SHOUTING, ITS NATIONAL ALL CAPS DAY TODAY. ~WHEW
geez if he would have just left the daughter on jack daniels and the son marry the yak farmer cool.
The daughter is in the clinic getting cured off the wild turkey (not jd) and the older boy is pursuing his career as a pixie dust spreader on the tilt-a-whirl but next year he’s hoping to be barking for the yak woman. (not farmer) Sheesh man…brush up! ;op
What are they – on drugs? Rich white trash.
Obviously you are of dark skin. Keep the racial stuff goinmg, right?
I’m not of dark skin and I’d call them white trash.
I’m as lily white as it gets and consider them white trash as well.
SNAP!!!
Way to go, Teri!

P.S. You done tole dat white mofo a lessin, dintcha? Rock on, witcha bad self, girlfriend!
Yours truly,
me
Eric you make so sense.
Nope. I am official White Trash, and I would call them white trash.
Thank you, Matt, for saying I make So sense.
I’m assuming you meant *so much* sense, for thank you for the compliment. Cheers!
I’m the whitest person on the planet, and the Quaids are wite trash in my book, as well.
Hey Dog, come after me you’re going home in a doggie bag…
Hey Master_Kush, you wouldn’t stand a chance. Dog would smash you like a zit.
I know Chapman (aka dog the bounty hunter) and I can tell you him and his wife are nothing but a big joke. They are both worthless and I can’t believe A&E is actually paying these pukes to be on tv, the whole lot of them.
Dog’s wife has a magnificent set of “teeth”!
Not if Dog had to chase you down himself. Those jeans are so tight he sort of run-waddles.
Dog has more bling than 3 has-been rappers.
I’d just love to see Dog attempt to come after someone in Canada. He’d get a really quick lesson in the Canadian criminal code. He’d also learn a lot about the inside of Canadian prisons.
master kush, stick to growing your weed and stay away from dog, westside!!!
Dog is nothing but an attention whore.
Yeah, but Daddy says I’M the best kisser…..
i guess they were hold in a motel living off hamburger helper burgers without the beef.
heh heh, I had a friend so poor that he used to just eat the “Helper”.
Whats eating hamburger helper havee to do with being poor??? Umm you have to buy Hamburger to eat it and I love the stuff and am far from poor now if u said Ramen noodles I would tend to agree lol…Hamburger Helper cheeseburger is yummy!! lol
I don’t know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper — it does fine all by itself.
Real tomato ketchup, Ed?
All kidding aside, it sounds a little like BiPolar behavior to me.
If they’re both bi, does that make it quad-polar?
quaid-polar.
*snicker*
I don’t know why they call it hamburger helper it tastes just fine all by itself!
Who is their lawyer? Quaid’s character from Caddyshack II?
That is the question…who is this man’s lawyer? Better yet, does he have one?
we’re gonna press on and have the hap hap happiest christmas since bing crosby tap-danced with danny fn k….
…and when Santa squeezes his fat white a$$ down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of a$$holes this side of the nuthouse!
hahaha I was hoping someone would know that!!! lol
Cousin Eddie: I don’t know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don’t you, Clark?
Clark: You’re the gourmet around here, Eddie.
Clark: Real tomato ketchup, Eddie?
Cousin Eddie: Oh, nothing but the best!
Cousin Eddie: Well, I didn’t want to ask you, Clark, you know, but could you maybe spare a little extra cash?
Clark: Sure, Eddie, how much do you need?
Cousin Eddie: About fifty-two thousand dollars.
I love Randy Quaid, I miss him in all the silly roles he played so well. I think that he is dealing with a wife who is either mentally ill or on drugs and he needs to get some help from his family. Where the heck is his brother? Anyways he’s a lot older than his wife the man is 60 it looks to me that she’s ruining him.
Yeah it’s gotta all be her fault. Ugh!
