He disclosed that it was not embodying the character of Ronald Reagan but the project gave him more insights into the personality of the former president. "It was one of the most challenging roles that I've ever had to kind of get down and know the person, he was actually a great communicator, very private, kind of unknowable person," Quaid admitted. "I learned a lot in this role and a lot about him. He defeated the Soviets in the Cold War, going on for almost 50 years, without firing a shot. He led us out of times very similar to what we're going through now and did it with principles rather than just the politics of the day."
