 SPLICEDwire | Dennis Quaid & Jim Morris interview for "The Rookie" (2002)
At a San Francisco screening of "The Rookie" a couple weeks ago Dennis Quaid helped introduce the film, in which he stars as an aging Texas schoolteacher who becomes a Major League Baseball player, by saying if it wasn't a true story, he wouldn't have even finished reading the script.
Morris noted that Quaid's lack of physical resemblance to him (and the fact that he's 10 years older) was one of the few things fictionalized in the movie, which might strike many viewers as a sports fairy tale without that "based on a true story" title card.
(Quaid tests his fastball by throwing past a "Your speed is..." monitor.) Dennis did a great job in that scene, but it was just to let people know I had no idea how hard I threw.
