Dennis Quaid Didn’t Want to Play the Happy Face Serial Killer at First
In the movie “Reagan,” Dennis Quaid portrays the legendary President Ronald Reagan, which will be released in theaters on August 30. However, it’s Quaid’s portrayal of another historical figure that is making news – he’ll star as Keith Jesperson, a notorious serial killer from the 1990s, nicknamed “Happy Face,” in the 2025 Paramount+ series “Happy Face.” The show is based on the chilling true story of Melissa Moore, Jesperson’s real daughter. Her podcast and autobiography, titled “Shattered Silence” (co-written with M. Bridget Cook), garnered widespread attention.
