Quaid's career lost steam in the early 1990s, after he fought anorexia nervosa brought on when he lost 40 pounds to play the tuberculosis-afflicted Doc Holliday in "Wyatt Earp" and recovered from a cocaine addiction. He continued to garner positive reviews in a variety of films, however. Quaid was also the guest star of a season 2 episode of "Muppets Tonight" (1997). He starred in the lead role in the 1996 adventure film "Dragonheart", the remake of "The Parent Trap" (1998), playing the part of the twins' father, and as an aging pro football quarterback in Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday" (1999). In 1998, he made his debut as a film director with "Everything That Rises" a television movie western in which he also starred.
