I really really liked him in The Ice Harvest (Even though he wasn't in it very much). I've always known him as Cousin Eddie, but after seeing The Ice Harvest I realize that he can play a much much darker character as well.

He was great in Hard Rain. I was rooting for him the whole way. You have to love him as Cousin Eddie(he made Vegas Vaction watchable). He did a great job as The Monster in TNT's version of Frankenstein(amazing performance as a dark character).

My all-time favorite Randy Quaid part is Cousin Eddie in the "Vacation" films." I likewise dug his roles in "The Last Picture Show," "The Last Detail," "Bound for Glory," "Midnight Express," "Parents," and "Freaked."

He was in a low-budget 1989 black comedy called "Parents". He played a Ward Cleaver like father. Slowly, his young son starts to realize that his parents are actually cannibals. It is not a great movie nor a bad movie. Just very strange and unpleasant but BOY Quaid's performance was sensational.
He was also great as the robotic bodyguard in "Pluto Nash" and he made a fine villain in "Hard Rain".
He frequently gets typecast as the loveable slob such as Cousin Eddie but as someone said he gave his Russell Cassb68e character in "ID4" more depth and humanity.
He was probably the best thing about the dumb 2005 black comedy "The Ice Harvest". He plays a gangster in there. -

I also just watched him in a low-budget, direct to video thriller called "Last Rites". He plays a serial killer named Jeremy Dillon. He is on Death Row and waiting to be electrocuted. He is put into the electric chair and a bolt of lightening strikes him and Quaid's character does not die. After healing from the lightening burns, Dillon (Quaid) has psychic abilities and forewarns the authorities of crimes that are due to happen. He claims to have no memory of his past crimes and acts totally nice compared to the beginning of the film. The movie itself is not much but Quaid gives a strong performance.
