CTV has the news:
The Hollywood actor best known for his role as deadbeat cousin Eddie in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” and his wife have asked for refugee protection in Canada after being arrested in Vancouver on immigration violations earlier this week.
Oscar-nominee Randy Quaid, 60, and his wife Evi, 47, made the verbal plea for protection at a Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board hearing in Vancouver on Friday afternoon.
The couple said that they fear for their lives in the U.S., and Evi claimed that nine close friends of her husband have recently been murdered, including actors David Carradine, Heath Ledger and Chris Penn.

Cocaine is a terrible drug.
I bet they think they’re on the adventure of a lifetime together.
They should play themselves in the movie of their story.
No.
Wow. Well, I suppose if you’re gonna go for the crazy, you may as well go all out and do it right.
My sister in law will love this shit. She was doing an internship at the 5th when Lone Star Love imploded.
Not “Qrazy”?
I somehow doubt that they were really good friends with David Carradine, Heath Ledger, and Chris Penn. However, I’ll eat these words if Dennis Quaid buys the farm soon.
That reminds me – did The Stranger ever secure the rights to post those nekkid Evi pictures they sent you?
Meth is bad, m’kay?
There does seem to be a delusion factor.
I’m predicting a “Thelma and Louise”-like drive off a cliff sometime in their not-too-distant future.
I think you’re supposed to break the pills in half.
