She is best-known for playing Cousin Eddie in National Lampoon’s Vacation movies and Russell Casse in Independence Day. Additionally, she voiced Alameda Slim from 2004 animated film Home on the Range.
Early in her career, she was an in-demand actor and appeared in multiple notable movie and television projects.

Although she has achieved great success as an actor, she has become embroiled in multiple legal controversies. These include filing suit against companies and skipping out on huge bills without paying them; squatting in properties she does not own; and alleging the Hollywood Star Whackers are targeting her – all which have damaged both her image and net worth.

Quaid has long been known for his trouble with the law. Starring in Kingpin and Tom Cruise’s Days of Thunder, Quaid has dodged large bills, illegally occupied properties that weren’t his and even attempted to settle in Canada illegally.
Quaid first burst onto the scene as Gordon Cooper in The Right Stuff in 1983. Since then he has gone on to star in films like Missouri Breaks, Midnight Express, Cold Dog Soup, Goya’s Ghosts and more – garnering him an Emmy nod for playing President Lyndon B Johnson in LBJ: The Early Years on television in 1987.
Since 1989, he has been married to Evi Motolanez and they share one daughter from their previous union. Additionally, he has done voice over work for Capitol One Credit Card, US Air, and Miller Beer among many other companies.
Net Worth
Evi Quaid has amassed considerable wealth through her charitable endeavors and acting career, in addition to accruing an enormous fortune through donations alone.
He skyrocketed to fame following his roles in movies like The Last Detail and Midnight Express, winning him several Golden Globe Awards including one for his performance as President John F. Kennedy’s early years in LBJ: The Early Years 1987 miniseries. Additionally he gained notice for his recurring roles as Cousin Eddie in National Lampoon Vacation film series.
They wed on the set of Bloodhounds of Broadway in 1989 amid great fanfare, yet their marriage has since been dogged by controversy, with several arrests for violating court orders and living in Vermont since 2010. Now, the couple are applying for Canadian citizenship through which they share their experiences on Twitter.
