Quaid's move: Nashville offers community LA lacks

Actor Dennis Quaid, 72, relocated from Los Angeles to Nashville in 2020, seeking a more tranquil existence. He now values the space and community found in Tennessee. Quaid reflects on the significant changes in the entertainment industry, particularly the transition from in-person auditions to self-taped submissions. He laments the loss of camaraderie that was once fostered in casting offices, where actors would meet and form a community.

Quaid expressed that if he were beginning his acting career today, he would opt for Atlanta over Los Angeles, citing the industry's shift in production centers. While he remains open to returning to L.A. in the future, he currently finds Nashville to be a welcoming environment. He points out that Nashville's appeal extends beyond its music scene, noting its diverse industries and preserved character, attracting people from across the country. The documentary "Water Wars," narrated by Quaid, explores water rights issues in Texas and is set to premiere on Prime Video on September 4th.
