Randy Quaid today

Actor Randy Quaid has been able to convince the Immigration and Refugee Board to let him out of jail after he was arrested earlier in the week in Montreal. Quaid has been lurking in Canada illegally for more than a year. He has also been growing a monster beard, the better to avoid detection perhaps. He is apparently still seeking refuge in Canada although today he made no mention of the so-called Star Whackers who represented, in his view, the greatest threat to his safety back in the U.S. A board member ordered that he be released on a $10,000 bond. Quaid, 64, was expected to be released later Tuesday. He was arrested May 14, and is being held at a detention centre in Laval, Que.
