Actors Equity Association, the stage actors' union, has banned Randy Quaid for life and fined him $81,572 after 26 of his fellow thesps griped about his inappropriate behavior.
Big Randy was working toward his first Broadway role in a production of the musical Lone Star Love last fall in Seattle. The show was basically a country and western re-working of Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor, and Quaid was creating the Falstaff character while his hard-charging wife, former Helmut Newton model Evi Quaid, tried to take over a number of off-stage roles.
