This is the response people want from "nepo-babies", it's not that big a deal that you had an advantage, we just want to hear that you're aware of it, doesn't mean you haven't worked your ass off to get there, also would like to add that Jack is genuinely talented and has more than proven his talent
Also you can see that Meg and Dennis did a great job raising a very down to earth guy. He's not the type of guy who will demand opportunities he isn't fit for.
Absolutely. I think the classic vision of a "nepobaby" is the person who has no business being anywhere near the position they have and only got it because of their parent/family. But that's really not what we see a lot of the time. We see people who DO put a lot of work in their craft and a lot who are actually great. But they undeniably had a leg up that most people don't. Which, is definitely what we all want our parents to provide. But then if those people are going around acting like they did it all themselves or are "self made" then that's where it becomes something to discuss.
Question: Who do you think you are that you think you have an authority to make im say what you want? Let that man live finally. Every single time his name is coming up this effing topic is getting discussed instead of his talent! Let it goddamn rest!
@@MelanieJeanneSchons wtf? We're praising the guy for his talent and lack of "stereotypical" nepotism and it seems you just copy/pasted an angry comment that has nth to do with the conversation. Read what you're commenting first. Thanks.
I dont mind industry plants or nepo-babies as long as they prove themselves worthy of that opportunity. Jack has done more than enough in my eyes and deserves all of his success.
Exactly right. Always let them stand on their own merit. I dont mind someone having had doors opened for them that others don't, if they use that open door to create wonderful media that I get to enjoy.
Nepo babies exist in all areas of different industries- it's just more pronounced and visible for Hollywood actors. I don't mind Jack Quaid or Maya Hawke, because they actually have talent..
Such a nice guy and a good actor too, no wonder ! He returned to get killed again at the beginning of Catching Fire , it wasn't the same scene, Francis Lawrence talks about it in the commentary. Great, great interview Josh,. thank you so much for that.
i love his "i've never been more confused and upset in my life, josh horowitz" at 51:29 pretty cool that you've gotten to have two of my favorite nepo babies on this podcast(lewis pullman is the other)! and wild that this is the first time you've had him on! what a delight!
I knew he was a good actor in the boys but i didnt have many expectations for his voice acting, he proved me wrong. His superman/Clark Kent voice is perfect specially when it becomes deeper, couldn't believe it was the same guy that plays Hughie
I really like Jack Quaid. He's got great taste in roles, and as celebrities go he's a got a good head on his shoulders and seems to be very unpretentious.
I appreciate the hell out of Innerspace too, watched it again the other night, one of the absolute fave films of my childhood and still so funny. He seems like such a ridiculously sweet dude who deserves his success.
Jack probably would’ve been a great Jimmy Olsen for David Corenswet’s Superman, though I’m hopeful there’s a chance he could possibly be The Flash in this new DCU…
The only nepo babies that get on my nerves are the ones that act like they had no advantage. Growing up with money and connections will give you like a 90% advantage of some guy or woman from a working-class family with no connections.
You can't be so sure. And what would you do in his situation? Given you're eager and talented, you do what, just walk away? "Oh man, I have too much advantage, it's only fair for me to give up on my dream and go work as a cashier or something". It's not his fault he had that unfair advantage just like it's not my fault I have this unfair disadvantage, we were born into our families and we can only do our best with it. It definitely seems like he's been really doing his best, I love him as Hughie, he's worth all the praise
