Quaid, 72, is known for headlining a variety of popular films, including the 2024 biopic "Reagan."

When asked why he was endorsing Pratt during an interview with Fox News Digital published on Wednesday, he replied, "Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man."

This was likely a reference to the many issues facing the city, including homelessness, crime, budget shortfalls, and the local government's handling of the 2025 LA wildfires.

The actor also reportedly said, "Go Spencer Pratt," at the 2nd Annual Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards Gala Saturday.

Pratt, a former reality television star and businessman, has been highly critical of the political leadership in Los Angeles.

His campaign website states that "the devastating 2025 Palisades fires that destroyed his family home" caused Pratt to jump into the fray and run against Bass.

The site also includes a statement from Pratt, which reads: "I'm not a politician. I'm a husband and father who watched my home burn because the system failed us. We don't need more government programs. We need common sense, accountability, and a Mayor that shows up for everyone."

Quaid and Pratt have been highly critical of Mayor Bass, especially for leaving the country during the dangerous windstorms that preceded and intensified the wildfires.

In addition to Quaid, Pratt has gotten endorsements from other conservative and libertarian figures like Joe Rogan, James Woods, and Adam Carolla.

Bass, meanwhile, touted her own celebrity endorsement from actor Samuel L. Jackson with a post Thursday on her X account.

"Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend, @SamuelLJackson," she wrote. "Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in – and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles. We're aligned on the change I'm working to bring to L.A."

Bass added, "That means getting more people off the streets into housing and connected with comprehensive services. It means more affordable housing units being built. And it means continuing to lower crime down to historic lows."
