As the Los Angeles mayoral primary approaches, actor Dennis Quaid threw his support behind Republican candidate Spencer Pratt over incumbent Democrat Karen Bass, calling it an obvious choice.
Quaid, 72, is known for headlining a variety of popular films, including the 2024 biopic “Reagan.”
When asked why he was endorsing Pratt during aninterviewwith Fox News Digital published on Wednesday, he replied, “Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man.”
This was likely a reference to the many issues facing the city, including homelessness, crime, budget shortfalls, and the local government’s handling of the 2025 LA wildfires.
The actor also reportedly said, “Go Spencer Pratt,” at the 2nd Annual Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards Gala Saturday.
Pratt, a former reality television star and businessman, has been highly critical of the political leadership in Los Angeles.
His campaignwebsitestates that “the devastating 2025 Palisades fires that destroyed his family home” caused Pratt to jump into the fray and run against Bass.
The site also includes a statement from Pratt, which reads: “I’m not a politician. I’m a husband and father who watched my home burn because the system failed us. We don’t need more government programs. We need common sense, accountability, and a Mayor that shows up for everyone.”
Quaid and Pratt have been highly critical of Mayor Bass, especially for leaving the country during the dangerous windstorms that preceded and intensified the wildfires.
In addition to Quaid, Pratt has gotten endorsements from other conservative and libertarian figures like Joe Rogan, James Woods, and Adam Carolla.
