Actor Dennis Quaid, accompanied by his bulldog Peaches, shares his experience in having to evacuate his Brentwood home amid the devastating Palisades Fire.
He was stopped for an interview while evacuating from the Los Angeles wildfires on Friday evening, and the internet is focused on the 'overeager' reporter talking to him.
In a now-viral news clip, the 70-year-old actor was interrupted by a reporter for NBC 4 Los Angeles and his cameraperson outside of his Brentwood home.
While he was trying to pack up his car, the reporter, Robert Kovacik, started asking him questions and Quaid answered them politely.
At one point, he even got emotional during the interview despite hurriedly trying to pack up his family's belongings from their house and evacuate quickly.
However, viewers of the news segment took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam the reporter for being 'obnoxious' as he 'bothered' Quaid.
The news channel was also criticized for airing the segment for 15 minutes when people were watching in anticipation for critical wildfire updates and evacuation orders.
