Actor Jack Quaid takes on his most intense role yet in Novocaine, an action-packed thriller hitting theaters this Friday. Best known for playing Hughie in Amazon Prime Video’s hit series The Boys, Quaid now stars as Nathan Cain, a man with a rare medical condition that prevents him from feeling pain.
A High-Octane Action Film with a Romantic Core
Describing the film as “an action movie for horror fans,” Quaid teases intense violence and gore balanced by a heartfelt romance between Cain and his love interest, Sherry.
“If you don’t believe in them as a couple, then the action’s not going to work for you,” Quaid explained.
When Sherry is kidnapped, Cain turns his condition into a superpower, unleashing relentless action sequences that push him to the limit.
Jack Quaid’s Most Physically Demanding Role
Portraying a character who feels no pain required Quaid to undergo extensive stunt training and workout routines.
“I had to do a lot of stunt training, a lot of working out. I got in the best shape of my life,” he said.
Despite the film’s intense action sequences, which were shot in Cape Town, South Africa (though set in San Diego), Quaid credits the stunt team for keeping him injury-free during production.
