Who is Randy Quaid's wife Evi?

HOLLYWOOD actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been married since 1989.

The two spent time in a Vermont jail in 2015 and were released after a judge ruled there was no probable cause for their arrest.

Who is Randy Quaid's wife Evi? 

Evi Quaid, 57, is a Canadian-American film producer and actress. 

She wrote and directed her first feature length film entitled The Debtors in 1999.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival but was never released to a big screen due to pending legal issues.

Evi is the second woman in feature film history, after Ida Lupino, to direct her own husband in a feature film.

How did Randy Quaid and Evi meet?

Randy Quaid, 70, and Evi met on the set of Bloodhounds of Broadway in 1987.

The couple married after the film’s release in October of 1989 at the San Ysidro Ranch in California.

They have two children, Charlotte and Kaki Quaid. 

The pair have been frequently on the news due to their multiple arrests and court appearances for various charges. 

In 2010, they turned up in Canada after missing a court date in California over felony vandalism charges. 

The Quaids were accused of doing more than $5,000 worth of damage to a property they once owned in Santa Barbara.

They also claimed that they were fearing for their lives in the US and sought asylum protections under the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Randy was denied residency in Canada and had been living there without official paperwork until his arrest in 2013.

Canada began a deportation process for Randy.

A week prior to his deportation date, they were detained by US Customs officials in Vermont in 2015 after they were spotted entering the state.

On October 15, 2015, Evi and Randy were released from jail and were allowed to remain in Vermont without facing charges.

However, in California, they remain fugitives of the state and still have an arrest warrant out, officials say. 

Is Randy Quaid running for governor of California?

Quaid may be joining the race for governor of California after the necessary number of verified signatures to trigger a recall election was reached.

After months of sharp criticism, the state's current governor, Gavin Newsom, will face a recall election later this year.

Reality star Caitlyn Jenner has already announced her own candidacy for the position, and now, Quaid has said that he's interested in joining the race.

"I’m seriously considering running for governor," he tweeted.
