overview:
Today is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952.

Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television  Shows of All Time.

biography:
Dennis William Quaid, 9 Nisan 1954 tarihinde Houston, Teksas, ABD'de dünyaya gelmiştir. Emlakçı bir anne ve elektrikçi bir babanın oğlu olan Quaid, kendisi gibi aktör olan Randy Quaid'in kardeşidir. Gençlik yıllarında Houston Üniversitesi'nde drama eğitimi almaya başlasa da, oyunculuk kariyerini profesyonel olarak sürdürebilmek uğruna okulu bırakıp Los Angeles'a taşındı. Kariyerinin başlarında, o dönem daha tanınan ağabeyi Randy'nin gölgesinde kalmamak için mücadele eden Quaid, ilk büyük çıkışını 1979 yapımı "Breaking Away" (Kaçış) filmiyle yaptı. Onu gerçek anlamda Hollywood'un radarına sokan ve eleştirmenlerin dikkatini çeken rol ise 1983 yapımı "The Right Stuff" (Boşluktaki Kahramanlar) filminde canlandırdığı astronot Gordon Cooper karakteri oldu.

Kendine has gülüşü ve karizmatik duruşuyla 1980'ler ve 1990'lar boyunca aranan bir başrol oyuncusu haline geldi. Bilimkurgu komedisi "Innerspace" (İçimde Biri Var) (1987), neo-noir suç gerilimi "The Big Easy" (Büyük Hesaplaşma) (1987) ve ünlü rock and roll müzisyeni Jerry Lee Lewis'i canlandırdığı "Great Balls of Fire!" (1989) ile çok yönlülüğünü kanıtladı. 1990'lı yıllarda "Wyatt Earp" (1994) filmindeki Doc Holliday performansı büyük beğeni toplarken; fantastik macera "Dragonheart" (Ejder Yürek) (1996), sevilen aile komedisi "The Parent Trap" (Komik Tuzak) (1998) ve Oliver Stone imzalı spor draması "Any Given Sunday" (Kazanma Hırsı) (1999) gibi gişede oldukça başarılı yapımlarla küresel çapta tanınırlığını artırdı.

2000'li yıllarda hem ticari gişe filmlerinde hem de bağımsız yapımlarda yer alarak kariyerinde olgunluk dönemine girdi. "Frequency" (Frekans) (2000), "The Rookie" (Çaylak) (2002) ve büyük bütçeli felaket filmi "The Day After Tomorrow" (Yarından Sonra) (2004) gibi yapımlarda akılda kalıcı performanslar sergiledi. Özellikle Todd Haynes'in yönettiği 2002 yapımı "Far from Heaven" (Cennetten Çok Uzakta) filmindeki dramatik rolü, ona Bağımsız Ruh Ödülü dahil birçok eleştirmen birliğinden En İyi Yardımcı Erkek Oyuncu ödülü kazandırdı. İlerleyen yıllarda "Vantage Point" (Bakış Açısı) (2008) gibi filmlerle sinemada kalmaya devam ederken, dizi dünyasına da yönelerek "Vegas", "Fortitude" ve "Goliath" gibi yapımlarda derinlikli karakterlere hayat verdi.

Yakın dönemde televizyon ve sinema projelerini dengeli bir şekilde yürüten aktör, Taylor Sheridan'ın "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" (2023) dizisinde yer almış ve 2024 vizyon tarihli "Reagan" filminde eski ABD Başkanı Ronald Reagan'ı canlandırarak kariyerindeki en önemli biyografik rollerden birini üstlenmiştir. Oyunculuk kariyerinin ötesinde Quaid, uzun yıllardır müzikle yakından ilgilenmektedir; "Dennis Quaid and The Sharks" adlı grubuyla solist ve ritim gitarist olarak sahne almakta, stüdyo albümleri yayınlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda lisanslı bir pilot olan ve golf sporuna tutkuyla bağlı olan aktör, sanatın farklı alanlarındaki aktif tutumunu sürdürmektedir.
