Dennis Quaid on his Hollywood long game

Dennis Quaid has a supporting role as Frank Mitchell, a golf coach in the new film, "The Long Game," which just had its world premiere at SXSW. This inspirational sports drama recounts real-life efforts of a Mexican American high school golf team that went on to win the Texas State Championship in 1957. Because of racism, these youths could caddy and work as grounds crew at an elite (i.e., all-white) country club, but it was impossible for them — or the team's founder JB (Jay Hernandez) — to become members.
