Career

In 2012, Quaid made his film debut as Marvel in the film The Hunger Games.[3] In an interview, Quaid explained how he auditioned for the role: "We had torrential downpours, flooding, scorching heat and then a bear would wander onto the set. But it was an amazing bonding experience. We definitely all had a great story to tell about what we did on our summer vacation." He also said that he was warned of a backlash from fans because of his character's dastardly acts: "When I got cast, I was told that people would be spitting on me in the streets."

In 2013, Quaid once again reprised his character, Marvel for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in a cameo appearance. In the same year, Quaid asked fans to help him fund his new film, Roadies, by making donations on the crowdsourcing website Indiegogo.[4] Quaid appeared in the main cast of the short-lived HBO television series Vinyl, which premiered in February 2016.[5]

In 2017, he starred as Jordan Welch in the horror comedy film Tragedy Girls, which was released in theaters on October 20, 2017.[6][7]

On March 6, 2018, Deadline announced that Quaid was cast in the lead role of the Amazon drama series, The Boys. He will star in the role of Hughie.[8]
