Dennis Quaid Gets Seriously Creepy in 'Happy Face': True Crime Drama Based on a Chilling Real Story Arrives Soon
First up get ready for chills because Dennis Quaid is taking on a role unlike anything you have seen him do before. He is playing the infamous " Happy Face Killer" Keith Hunter Jesperson in a new series called Happy Face. Yes THAT Happy Face Killer the one who drew smiley faces on his letters to the media. Creepy right?
Quaid's own wife Laura Savoie admitted the role gave her the creeps after watching it! She said it was "a little iffy there for a couple of hours afterward." But hey that just means Quaid is probably nailing the unsettling vibe. Quaid himself found the role interesting because Jesperson is so emotionless and detached. He even said he didn't want to meet the real killer feeling it might give Jesperson some twisted satisfaction.
Happy Face is based on the true story of Jesperson as seen through the eyes of his daughter Melissa Moore. The show explores how she grapples with the horrifying truth about her dad and the impact of his crimes. Annaleigh Ashford plays Melissa and James Wolk and Tamera Tomakili are also in the cast. It looks like it will be a tense drama focusing on the trauma and the victims not just glorifying the killer. If you are into true crime this one might be for you. Mark your calendars Happy Face premieres on Paramount Plus on March 20th.
