Jesse Metcalfe Joins Dennis Quaid, Heather Graham in Faith-Based Drama ‘On a Wing and a Prayer’

Anyone who works for Mark Burnett is DEAD to me.

Goodbye, Dennis Quaid, Heather Graham, and Jesse Metcalfe!

Is he gonna show us his tits?

Hes still fine as fuck. Hes going to be one of those that hits the wall at 50 but Im enjoying the view till then.

Dennis Quaid is becoming the KING of religious fundie "faith-based" films.

When the fuck did that happen?

^^^ He’s too nuts to land legitimate roles.

I always heard that Heather was estranged from her parents because of their strict religious background but apparently they went on record in 2013 insisting it just ain’t so!

[quote] Jun 2, 2013 Heather Graham’s estranged parents have opened up about the bitter rift which wrecked their relationship with the star, insisting she cut them out of her life after making it big in Hollywood. The blonde beauty has made no secret of her feud with mum Joan and dad Jim Graham, who she claims never forgave her for her raunchy role as a porn star in 1997’s Boogie Nights because of their devout Catholic beliefs. She recently opened up about the rift again, saying, “Part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am, but, if they never do, it’s OK.”

[quote] Now her parents have finally spoken out to share their side of the story, insisting they have no problem with her choice of movie roles and are baffled by her continual claims they tried to make her become a nun.

[quote] In an interview with Britain’s The Sun, Jim Graham says, “Joan and I have endured many sleepless nights questioning how and why it all went wrong. To this day, we honestly don’t know… Every time we read these supposed reasons for why we are not part of Heather’s life, it gets more and more frustrating as they are simply not true. The Hollywood scene is so treacherous – it has ruined our family. “We did go to the movies to see it (Boogie Nights) and no, it wasn’t our thing, but we were proud of the part she played, as we are with all of her films. But we were never given the option to even voice our opinion as Heather simply didn’t ask. Time and time again we read in anything written about Heather that she was brought up in this ‘strict Catholic home’ and that’s just wrong… We’ve even seen writers claim we wanted Heather to be a nun. It’s just not true; we didn’t even send the girls to a Catholic school!

[quote]“Up until Boogie Nights we were a close, happy family. Then the movie came out and everything changed. It is safe to say that movie destroyed our relationship – that film is the anniversary of when Heather decided to take a break from us.”

[quote] And her parents insist the most upsetting part of the fall-out is that the star missed the deaths of her grandparents. Joan adds, “My mum passed away in 2008 and my dad in 1998. I know they hoped they would see Heather again. But sadly they didn’t – and now it is too late. Of course we left messages telling Heather they had passed, and a part of us hoped she would come to their funerals. But, for whatever reason, she didn’t. I can’t believe Heather is 43 now and we have had no place in her life for a long time. It is desperately sad.”

Dennis Quaid is a Repug, right?

At least that other wingnut Jon Voight can still land legit acting gigs despite being batshit insane. Quaid is a few steps away from doing a Left Behind film.

Is the whole QUAID family nuts?

Dennis Quaid made some comment last year that he thought Trump was handling the covid crisis well. His son Jack seems to hate Trump. Jack might be the only sane person in the Quaid family.

Heather Graham seems be taking Mira Sorvino's path in doing faith based films.

Jack Quaid is cute.

Why isn't he in more films?

I’m sorry, but Young Dennis Quaid was so hot, he gets a lifetime pass to do whatever he wants.

It’s disappointing that he’s a god-bothering idiot now (always?), but I would still lick his asshole.

What an original story - I've never seen something like this plot before.

But Jesse is beautiful.

[quote] Is he gonna show us his tits?

That is the critical question. Are his tits as luscious as they used to be?

R11, that's the hottest I've ever seen of Jack Quaid. He cleans up nicely. On "The Boys," he looks average as hell. While watching the show, you're shocked that he's the offspring of two good-looking parents.

Is Jesse Metcalfe a born-again Christian? He seems to love doing Hallmark Channel and faith-based shlock. Also, Heather Graham started her career as a jailbait lolita and played slutty bad girls for a decade, weird change of pace.

Damn, this motherfucker is aging like a bottle of fine wine. He gets hotter every time I see him.

I don't have an issue with more wholesome entertainment as an option. I also wish more movies would explore faith, but not in the generic fundie way, which is the only way most of these producers want it to be done.

R18 The issue is these movies tend to be awful, corny and preachy. They put the message before the quality of writing and acting. Zeffirelli and Scorsese had Christian films that elicited much controversy. They were also Catholic, so had a different perspective than Evangelical Protestants. Evangelicals don't want nuanced films with complexity, they want simplistic fire-and-brimstone and prosperity gospel tales with black-and-white characters.

R19 exactly.

It's either anti abortion garbage and the like, or something that will bore the audience into a nap with its vague, sterile religiosity (God Friended Me).

Fuck Mark Burnett. I blame him for everything.

He's a very limited actor and he isn't a young pretty boy anymore, probably the only work he can get.

So many former teen stars end up in Hallmark or Christian-themed movies. Like Jesse, Melissa Joan Hart, Jesse Metcalfe, Danica McKellar, Dean Cain, Joey Lawrence, etc. I get paying the bills but surely they can do better than Christian and Republican propaganda. A lot of these actors are deplorables.

I read here that his titties are fake, did he get a boob job back in the day??

"Faith based"? Hard pass.

Christian entertainment: where struggling careers go to die.

I like when actors who started out on wholesome stuff go to doing slutty roles. Like Eve Plumb, Jessica Biel, Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.

Will Jesse get to show off his pec implants in this?

Or too spicy for the hard-core right-wing Rethugs?

^ If Dean Cain, Joey Lawrence and Anthony Sabato Jr are okay in Christian-based movies. Jesse should be too.

I could stand Roma on Touched by an Angel.

*could NOT

Touched by An Angel actually got a lot of hate from Christian groups because it was more about love and tolerance. Less on judgment and self-righteousness. They even had an episode that paid tribute to AIDs victims and didn't condemn homosexuality at all. The portrayal of angels and God was more in line with the New Age side of things rather than Biblical.

Jesse Metcalfe and Cash Warren are forever mixed up in my head. So when I see Jesse, I always think he's half-black.

Heather Graham at one point had a very interesting career in the late 80s and 90s. She was an indie darling and did edgy roles. She was working with Gus Van Sant and David Lynch.

Well, R32, by the time Roma Downey got around to doing The Bible miniseries with Burnett, they cast a President Obama lookalike as the Antichrist and then did a 'who, us?' when called out on it. They are both 100% trash, and he is a criminal, period.

The faith-based hacks love nothing better than to get some down-on-their-luck legitimate star (like Nicolas Cage) to grace their shit films. In the end, for all their crapping on Hollywood, they desperately want to hang with the popular kids.
