Quaid was born on April 24, 1992, in Los Angeles, California,[1] to actors Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid.[2] He was President of the Bad Movie Club at Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California,[3] and later he attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts for three years.[4]
In 2012, Quaid made his film debut as Marvel in the film The Hunger Games.[5] In an interview, he explained his experience while filming: "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, he reprised Marvel for a flashback scene in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in a cameo appearance.
Following his involvement with the Hunger Games franchise, Quaid took part in a series of independent films, including his own film Roadies, which was funded through donations on the crowdsourcing website Indiegogo.[6] During this time, he was part of the sketch comedy troop Sasquatch Sketch, which was active from 2013 to 2017,[7] produced dozens of comedy videos, and performed live in the Los Angeles area.[8] Quaid also acted in other comedic webseries and shorts.
Quaid appeared in the main cast of the short-lived HBO television series Vinyl, which premiered in February 2016.[9] In 2017, he appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s heist comedy Logan Lucky, and starred as Jordan Welch in the horror comedy film Tragedy Girls, which was released in theaters on October 20, 2017.[10][11]
On March 6, 2018, Deadline announced that Quaid was cast as Hugh "Hughie" Campbell, the lead role of the Amazon drama series The Boys.[12] The series premiered in July 2019. Since its debut, it has been renewed for a second, third, and fourth season.[13][14] In late 2018, Quaid and his fellow The Boys co-star Erin Moriarty both appeared in the music video for Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?".[15]
In July 2019, Variety announced that Quaid was cast as Ensign Brad Boimler in the new CBS All Access animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks.[16] This follows his voice acting role on the Netflix animated series Harvey Girls Forever!. In the same year, Quaid starred in romantic-comedy Plus One. In September 2020, he was cast in the fifth Scream film,[17][18] which was released on January 14, 2022.[19][20]
Quaid was cast in Christopher Nolan's upcoming historical epic Oppenheimer, scheduled for release on July 21, 2023.[21]
Quaid resides in Los Angeles, California. He was in a relationship with actress Lizzy McGroder from 2016 to 2021.[22][23]
