Dennis Quaid Stars in New Reagan Biopic

Dennis Quaid stars as Ronald Reagan in the new biopic 'Reagan', which aims to showcase the 40th president's life and legacy from childhood through his presidency. Quaid initially hesitated to take on the role but found inspiration during a visit to the Reagan Ranch, where he connected with Reagan's humility. The film, narrated from the perspective of a fictional ex-KGB agent played by Jon Voight, emphasizes Reagan's mission to combat Communism while portraying key moments from his life, including his faith and early experiences. Critics note that while the film is visually engaging, it may lack dramatic depth and complexity, framing Reagan's story in a simplistic manner. Quaid believes the film serves as a reminder of American history for both those who lived through it and younger generations. 'Reagan' premiered in theaters on August 30, with a strong focus on the relationship between Ronald and Nancy Reagan, played by Penelope Ann Miller.
