Who has more talent: Randy Quaid or Tom Arnold?


After seeing Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure I just have to ask this question...

reply


At least Quaid was great in the original Christmas Vacation. Tom Arnold just annoys.

Randy Quaid has tonnes of talent.
He's one of my favorite actors.

Randy Quaid has MUCH more talent that Tom. Let's face it, most of Tom's "Talent" came from being married to Rosanne. Although Randy did have his brother Dennis Quaid, I think neither benefited from each other, because not many know they are brothers.

Talent-wise Randy Quaid, but I think they are both very funny actors, i am a big fan of both. Is Tom Arnold an actor or comedian or what? He's mainly just a celebrity i guess, he does Best Damn Sports Show Period, I dunno people just like Tom Arnold it doesnt matter what he does. It's always nice to see Tom Arnold in a movie. Randy Quaid is the man, way cooler than his brother, and does way more acting than Tom Arnold. Tom and Randy are underrated comedic geniuses. That's what I think...

I will go with Tom just because he owned in True Lies far better then I have ever seen RQ do. Tom when he deadpans and does not get visably amused at his own jokes is absolutely hilarious, his problem is he often does not deadpan and almost seems amused at his own lines in movies as he gives them (as in Auston Powers) and that is not nearly as funny. He needs a good director telling him to get rid of that *beep* eating grin when he is giving the funny lines.

both are great actors

Randy Quaid is a really good actor... unfortunately this movie apparantly sucks (I admit I haven't seen it.)

The Last Detail is a great film from early in his career. As is The Last Picture Show, and Paper Moon (albiet his role was brief in that one).

And he was friggin' hilarious in the first Vacation and Kingpin.

What has Tom Arnold ever done that didn't stink?

I think the real question is which Quaid has more talent--Randy or Dennis?

reply

Randy.

randy quaid, tom is sometimes funny but has no range. plus tons has one "n" and no "e"'s

reply

Randy Quaid

reply

Yes, his performance in The Last Detail is gripping. After I saw that, I never questioned his chops.

Is this a trick question?

Randy Quaid is more talented than Tom Arnold. At least Randy was able to nab an oscar nomination. It's just that nowadays SOME of Quaid's movie choices aren't the best, but besides that he is a very funny and good actor.

reply

Not necessarily.

Ton and tonne are both correct.

reply

Randy Quaid is more talented. I cant think of anything Tom Arnold has done, that would lead me to believe that he has any talent at all
