Exclusive: Randy and Evi Quaid on star whackers, failed careers and their big ...

In a North Vancouver recording studio, Randy Quaid is re-inventing himself.

And why not? If you are a Hollywood celebrity, coming back from a public meltdown is becoming a popular career move. But while disgraced sitcom star Charlie Sheen takes his Violent Torpedo of Truth tour across North America, turning his out-there rants into box-office gold, Quaid has a different approach to career redemption. He wants to be taken seriously as a musician.

“I love that performance. It’s perfect,” says Quaid’s ever-present wife, Evi, sitting behind him in the studio.

Her favourite moment is when he breaks down on that line about two ghosts without a home.

“Which is us!” Evi says. “This is the soundtrack to the truth!”

Witness the preparations for the second coming of Randy Quaid.Oscar-nominated (way back in 1974 for the retail latest movies - says he has done with Hollywood anyway. Wanted man in the United States, he could not work, even if it wanted, but he has other plans.

"The good movie scene as a whole now does not really interest me," he said. "I do not like films made ​​for the most part. They are all special effects and animation. I have a big role, but I'm not looking at any job.”

Quaid, 60, is a big guy, over 6-foot-4 – and impossible to miss even if he weren’t a celebrity – but warm and on the quiet side. Evi, 47, is his intense, yet charismatic counterpart. Dressed all in black, right down to her hat, she’s constantly in motion, talking, curious, quirky. She’s the kind of person who, though suffering from well-publicized money troubles, gives a homeless guy $20 to feed the parking meter outside a restaurant, because she doesn’t have change.

Married for almost 22 years, the Quaids are inseparable – “symbiotic,” Randy says. You might call them partners in crime.

The Quaids entered Canada on Oct. 17, 2010, and were arrested four days later. There are outstanding warrants in California, where they are facing felony vandalism and misdemeanour trespassing charges relating to alleged squatting on a property they once owned. Appearing at an Immigration and Refugee Board hearing in Vancouver, they claimed refugee status, saying they were seeking asylum from a murderous group targeting Hollywood celebrities: the now-notorious “star whackers.” When Evi revealed that her father was Canadian, she was granted citizenship. Now she’s sponsoring Randy.
