“The most important thing is to be authentic,” Quaid told the audience. “I’m a Christian. That’s who I am. … I have a personal relationship with [Jesus].”
The “Reagan” star admitted it took him a “long time to figure out” his Christian journey and said it’s still a journey in progress as he learns and grows.
“I could feel right now in this big stadium—can’t you feel the Holy Spirit right here, right now?” Quaid continued.
Laurie specifically asked the actor about his role in “I Can Only Imagine,” a 2018 biopic about Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe. Quaid portrays Millard’s late father, who was abusive before finding Christ and reconciling with his son.
While Laurie said he believes Quaid should have been nominated for an Academy Award for the role, Quaid said he has received so much positivity for the role—and that these positive reactions were enough.
“I got all the accolades I needed for that. … that’s the accolades that I really love,” Quaid said. “I can see it in people’s eyes. I can feel it in their hearts.”
