Was Dennis Quaid Too Old?


Don't get me wrong, I love Dennis Quaid in this movie. But in the scenes in 1969, he looks like a middle-aged actor around young actors (that are supposed to be the same age.)

In real life, he was about 15 or 16 years old than the actors who played the killer and his wife. And 1969 Frank Sullivan should be roughly the same age as 1999 John Sullivan. But still, 1969 Frank looks so much older that he could be the Dad of 1999 John Sullivan without any makeup.

I think he could've passed for about 38-40 years old. Having a stressful job could be said to make him appear older than his years. People from that generation just looked older anyway.
