What is your secret?
How do you do this everyman stuff where you’re just the most charming, lovable person?
JACK QUAID: Thank you!

All those actresses you just named are just incredible.
It’s easy when you’re doing a scene with somebody like that.
I got really lucky being paired with Amber, who’s such a badass in her own right.

In all caps, all the exclamation points.
I just want to keep working with her forever.
What drew you to this role?

I love that franchise already, but the stunts were incredible.
I thinkKeanu Reevesdeserves an Oscar for his stunt work.
I just think it was so impressive to watch.
All of that drew me in.
I wanted to contrast how absolutely gnarly the movie is with a sweetness to the character of Nate.
I think he’s the sweetest character I’ve ever played.
He’s a total sweetie, and I love that about him.
My sons name is Nate.
QUAID: Oh, amazing!
Nates are always good.
Nates are always good people, Ive found.
Quaid voices the legendary superhero in the animated series ‘My Adventures With Superman.’
What was your favorite stunt from this movie?
What was the most fun for you to pull off in this one?
He took some of those bigger hits that were so impressive and cool.
But in terms of the fights, there were two fights that I loved doing so much.
Discovering little bits as we went was so rewarding and so fun.
I love getting physical with a character, and this movie just gave me every opportunity to do that.
I can do that for longer than I thought I could.
But, yeah, it was all very, very fun.
That’s a very fun sequence.
TheHome Alonetraps…
QUAID: Oh, yeah.
QUAID: Yeah, just like, Ugh!
How do you physically embody that?
That character goes through a really big arc in the movie.
He has a very regimented, scheduled, very safe life intentionally, and he’s living alone.
He’s kind of discovering the world for the first time.
He doesn’t really leave his apartment ever.
Would you attempt to give yourself a tattoo in real life?
Dear God, no.
I did have to learn how to use a tattoo machine for this movie, which was insane.
There’s a tattoo artist who ran me through the ropes of doing it.
They gave me these – it sounds gross – but these sheets to practice with.
They’re sheets of fake skin that I tattooed little smiley faces on and stuff like that.
So, if you wanted a tattoo of a smiley face, I could provide it.
I’m just gonna set up a booth outside.
This can obviously turn into a franchise of sequels, all things considered.
I’m sure you guys have been cooking up some crazy scenarios.
QUAID: Oh, man.
We would love that.
I hope people like it enough for us to be able to do that one day.
That’d be amazing.
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about it.
It’d be very cool.
I think what I want to do with a potential second one is embrace San Diego a bit more.
The San Diego Comic-Con Convention Center.
you’ve got the option to have a fun chase sequence in that intersection.
Pedal cabs in the street.
Oh my God, a pedal cab chase?
We have to have it.
That would be amazing.
