Lauren Holly slammed her former costar Dennis Quaid for aligning himself with Republican politicians.
"It's crazy to me at this point," she said of Quaid's support for Donald Trump after he flew on Air Force One with the president.
"At least I got to slap him real hard in Any Given Sunday," she added under a photo of Quaid with Ted Cruz.
Lauren Holly isn't pleased with Dennis Quaid.
The NCIS actress slammed the Reagan actor's alignment with Republican politicians in a series of Threads posts on Friday.
After Sen. Ted Cruz shared a photo of himself with Quaid aboard Air Force One on social media on Friday, journalist Yashar Ali shared the same photo on Threads, prompting Holly to offer her two cents in the replies.
"At least I got to slap him real hard in Any Given Sunday," wrote the actress, who had a strained onscreen marriage with Quaid in the 1999 football drama.

Holly also responded to a video of Quaid saying "I love Donald Trump" during a public appearance with the president in Corpus Christi, Tex., on Friday.
"It's crazy to me at this point," Holly wrote.
The actress also endorsed and replied to a post labeling Quaid a fascist. "Watching @laurenholly comment on all the Dennis Quiad capitulation is top tier @threads energy. Make fascists uncomfortable by any means possible…" a user wrote.
"Any means…." Holly responded.

Prior to the Corpus Christi event, Cruz shared a video of Quaid seated at a table with Trump on Air Force One.
"I'd like to ask President Reagan what you think of President Trump," the Texas senator says in the clip.
Quaid, who portrayed Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic Reagan, slipped into character as the 40th U.S. president. "I think he's like me on steroids, actually," he said of Trump in his Reagan voice.
"An historic conversation on AF1 between TWO great American Presidents…." Cruz wrote in his caption.
Quaid previously said he planned to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. "As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did," the Rookie star said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. "People might call him an a--hole, but he's my a--hole."

Quaid recently described Trump as "very surprisingly approachable," "very funny," and "really genuine" during an interview with Greg Laurie on The Greg Laurie Show.
"He wouldn't be president if he wasn't genuine," the actor said. "Because people, the people who voted for him, they know that he has their best interests at heart, that he is a genuine person."
