Fast-forward to today, where the younger Quaid is absolutelykilling itin his chosen profession.
“I had great parents.
They really kept me away from that thing, that Hollywood-ness.”
That’s a relief to hear!
“I just kind of know who’s a bulls**t artist immediately.”
Clearly that’s served him well.
For over a decade, her perky mug was ubiquitous, as she snagged role after role.
“We called it the ‘Egg McMom.’
If that isn’t the very epitome of wholesome, we’re not sure what is.
“My parentsgot divorcedwhen I was eight,” the Jack Quaid shared in theAllegedlypodcast (viaUs Weekly).
“It’s one of those weird ages.
It’s a shame they couldn’t make it work, but they gave it a good run.
As for Quaid’s perspective on the issue, he acknowledges it for what it is.
“I mean… it’s a hard deal,” he continued.
“But, I mean, it’s just as hard as any other divorce, really.”
Quaid added that his parents still see each other on occasion when they’re doing something for him.
“I’ve been on sets my whole life,” he mused in an interview withInterviewmagazine.
We can only imagine how cool that must have been!
“It was a new sensation.
I really liked it.”
Go big or go home, right?
“Now that I’m talking about it, it’s probably going to happen even more.”
Fortunately, Quaid can live with being the most reviled character in the arena!
Things got more intense when he left the nest, too.
His openness is one important (and commendable) step towards fighting the stigma of mental illness.
Perhaps a role in a show on HBO with big-names executive producers like Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger?
“It was absolutely insane.
Sounds like it was a natural fit!
Unfortunately, the show wascancelledafter only one season.
It’s definitely notOceans 11, that’s for sure!
He donned a wig for the part, and got to have a lot of fun with the costuming.
“Everyday they put all these tattoos on me,” he revealed in an interview withRama’s Screen.
“I’d never been in a makeup chair that long.”
He even got to customize one of the tattoos, which was the word ‘dangerous’ deliberately misspelled.
Sounds like a hoot!
Then in 2018, he played Connor in the blockbusterRampage, which starred The Rock.
Clearly the actor has some serious range, given the diversity of projects he’s done.
With so much already behind him, what roles does Quaid want to play in the future?
A dad that’s like a little too trying to be cool.”
Sounds like he ought to give Seth Rogan a call!
In addition to being a movie dad, Quaid has other ambitions.
“I’ve always wanted to play the villain in a movie, too.
Just straight up and down villain,” he continued.
“I’ve kind of done that, but I’d love to explore that more.”
As if playing Marvel and killing our beloved Rue wasn’t villainous enough!
It’s not every day that you get to go behind the scenes of movies likeFrench KissorCity of Angels!
He added that it’s likely because he watchedLiar, Liarquite frequently when he was young.
Actually, that makes sense given the direction he’s chosen!
So what is it about Carrey that Quaid admires so much?
“His ability to be like, really funny, but also very sincere,” he continued.
“I love him.
He’s great.”
The whole thing is both goofy and endearing at the same time.
And although they didn’t shoot at the same time, the experience was resoundingly positive.
“I’ve got some talented friends.”
At the time of writing, the Sasquatch channel has been quiet since September 2017.
But Ryan knew her son would be a natural.
Pretty impressive chops for someone so young!
Additionally, Ryan knew that her son had the real-world experience necessary to carry the role.
Jack’s parents did have one rule, however, when it came to their son’s acting pursuits.
“The only thing we didn’t let him do was become a child actor,” Dennis continued.
It’s likely they didn’t want him to be harmed so young in such a tough industry.
Humorously enough, the elder Quaid, a legend himself, is deferential to his son’s accomplishments.
The apple clearly doesn’t fall too far from the tree!
But interestingly enough he does, and it sounds… different.
Well that’s unexpected!
But it’s also 100 percent Jack Quaid when youreallythink about it.
So how did such an odd, and yet intriguing idea come about?
So maybe he’ll refine it on a rainy day and perform it somewhere in Los Angeles.
We’ll keep our eyes open for it!
And as he tells it, he soaked up every amazing moment being on set forThe Boys.
“It was an insane moment in my life,” he recalled in a chat withNME.
After all, his motherisMeg Ryan, an undisputed queen of the genre (Sleepless in Seattle, anyone?
OrYou’ve Got Mail?).
So perhaps it was destiny when Jack snagged the role of Ben inPlus One, starring opposite Maya Erskine.
He added that the film is classic, and we totally agree.
A Star Trek credit for Jack Quaid?
I’ve joined the Star Forge,'” he revealed in an interview withHuffPost.
That’s a pretty cool club to be a part of.
“I love my parents.
I’m also a huge fan,” he quipped in an interview withNME.
“I wasn’t even a concept yet!”
