Dennis Quaid joins cast of apocalyptic Amazon series

Veteran actor Dennis Quaid has joined the second season of Amazon series "Fortitude".

"I wasn't in Season One, but (Michael) was there on the island. I guess he was one of the background people. He's an American ex-pat who's been (in Fortitude) as a fisherman.

"He landed on the island and met his now-wife, Freya (Michelle Fairley, Caitlyn Stark from "Game of Thrones"). She has Lou Gehrig's Disease, where you lose control of your muscles. He's on a quest to save her," Quaid, 63 told New York Post.

The series, a UK production, is shot in Iceland (exterior shots) and in London (interior shots).
