Dennis Quaid backs Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles mayor

Hollywood star Dennis Quaid has come out in support of Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles mayor — in another sign Hollywood is coming around to his candidacy.

The actor, who starred in “Far from Heaven,” “The Big Easy” and “The Substance,” backed the independent candidate in a Fox News interview Wednesday.

“Go Spencer Pratt,” Quaid said when asked about the LA mayor’s race last week.

When asked why, Quaid appeared puzzled.

“Why? What are you talking about, why? Just look around, man,” he laughed.

The 72-year-old has been critical of LA Mayor Karen Bass in the past and has called for her to resign. He had to evacuate his home because of the Palisades Fire last year.

“Mayor Bass had five days warning about what could be record Santa Ana winds, and she chose to go to Ghana anyway,” he said earlier this year.

Pratt has led his campaign with his support for Palisades Fire victims and his opposition to Bass’s policies and actions surrounding the fires. He’s considered a top candidate for LA mayor in the upcoming June 2 primary.

He filed a complaint against Bass’s campaign on Tuesday for allegedly violating election law by engaging in illegal electioneering.

“Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process,” he wrote on X.

Other Hollywood actors including Katharine McPhee, Brody Jenner and James Woods have backed Pratt.

A Cygnal poll released May 20 showed Pratt in second place with 22% of the vote as Bass led with 25%, and socialist Councilwoman Nithya Raman took up third place with 18% support.
