Dennis Quaid Reflects on Playing Happy Face Killer
Dennis Quaid stars in Paramount+’s upcoming series 'Happy Face,' portraying real-life serial killer Keith Jesperson, known as the 'Happy Face Killer.' Despite his initial reservations about glorifying the character, Quaid feels that playing such a complex role has a profound impact. The series, adapted from a 2018 podcast, has been noted for its effective transition from audio to visual storytelling, with critics highlighting Quaid's chilling performance that balances charm with menace. The narrative focuses on Jesperson's dual life as a family man and a murderer, revealing the psychological complexities involved. As the story unfolds, it emphasizes the emotional distance between Jesperson and his daughter Melissa, who has severed ties with him. Overall, 'Happy Face' aims to present a nuanced look at the psychological aspects of crime rather than graphic violence.
