My parents understood what it meant to be an actor: Jack Quaid on Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid

Actor Jack Quaid says he feels blessed to be son of Hollywood stars Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan as y supported him when he chose to follow in ir footsteps and make a career in movies. Quaid is best known for films such as " Hunger Games", "Logan Lucky" and smash hit Amazon series " Boys".

"I'm not going to complain about it because obviously, I grew up in a way where I was very lucky. re was always food on table and my parents got to do something really cool. "I also feel lucky because I got to do a fraction of what y've done. Wher I have parents who do same thing or not, I still feel extremely lucky to be able to do what I do," 28-year-old actor told PTI in a Zoom interview from Toronto.

Quaid said his star parents understood and supported his decision to become an actor.

"y understood what it meant to be an actor. It wasn't like I came to m and said, 'I want to be an actor.' And y're like, 'What? That doesn't make any sense. Go get a business degree or something like that.' It didn't happen and I'm really thankful for that." Quaid me his debut with 2012's " Hunger Games" where he played role of Marvel, a character that people have started noticing more post success of " Boys".

actor recalled that when he signed for part, he was warned by makers that he will always be hated for killing Rue, a close confidante of Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss, in dystopian drama.

"I get a lot of hate for that, but y told me that this would happen... Every few years, I feel like everyone has an awakening about that. No matter what I post on social media, it could just be me or something that has nothing to do with ' Hunger Games', but re will be at least three comments that say like, 'You killed Rue. How could you?'" Quaid said.

He said not just avid franchise fans, even his sister's friends hate him for killing Rue in movie.

"I remember she h like a sleepover for a birthday and she was watching it when she called me. She was like, 'All my friends are so m at you.' "And n I heard this kid in background, 'Is that your bror, get him off phone.' This kid wanted to really chew me out for doing this. So yeah, I'm sorry. I'm officially very, very sorry." Post " Hunger Games", Quaid took a different approach to his career as he started doing more indie movies such as "Just 45 Minutes from Broway", "Roies" and "Just Before I Go".

He also featured in "Vinyl", a short-lived HBO series from Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese, and Steven Soderbergh's "Logan Lucky".

" Boys", a satirical series on superheroes, however, brought him real global fame with his relatable portrayal of Hughie, a mild-mannered guy who is thrown into a fight when his girlfriend is accidentally killed by one of superheroes.

actor is currently shooting for show's third season. Quaid promised that next chapter in series will be even better from previous ones. " scripts are amazing. I'll say what I said before season two -- No one's rey, no one's prepared. re's some stuff that I never thought I would re.

"Eric (Kripke, creator) and writers are just so good at what y do. And so collaborative and cool. I think this is going to be a really interesting season and people are going to like it. So, I'm really excited," he said. Besides " Boys" season three, Quaid will also star in "Scream", fifth part in iconic slasher franchise that was started by late filmmaker Wes Craven.

actor will feature in new part alongside legacy cast members -- Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox -- as well as newcomers like Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Dylan Minnette.

Quaid promised that new directors -- Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of "Rey or Not" fame -- will honour Craven's legacy with ir take.

" two directors, Matt and Tyler, are biggest 'Scream' fans I've ever seen. I feel like y've modelled so much of what y do after those movies. You could just tell that this franchise means so much to m. It means as much to m as it means to biggest and hardcore 'Scream' fans out re.

"So knowing that y were behind it and knowing that some of our legacy cast members gave m ir blessing, meant a lot. y're really trying to uphold his memory because we wouldn't have screamed with Wes Craven. We wouldn't have a lot without West Craven," actor ded.

actor said he is aware of baggage of expectations that comes with franchise.

"We're all aware of expectations and a little bit of pressure, but I think we have me something really cool that 'Scream' fans are really going to enjoy. So we're just gonna have to wait and see."
