Jack Quiad is an actor who is no stranger to blood and guts. With his ongoing role in The Boys (streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription) and appearances in the Scream giving him a ton of experience with gory scenes. His new movie Novocaine is chock full of wild violence, and there was one scene in particular that grossed me out. And as he told CinemaBlend, Quaid had the same reaction.
CinemaBlend’s Novocaine review praised the movie’s action, which centers around Quaid’s hero Nathan who has a condition where he doesn’t feel pain. He can be injured, but he simply doesn’t feel said wounds as they happen. As you can see in the video above, I spoke to the 32 year-old actor about his new movie, where she shared that Nathan being tortured by having his finger nailed ripped off truly bothered him. As he put told me:
I thought that I was going to be totally fine with this. But then there’s a scene, I won’t say what scene it is, but there’s one sequence involving my fingernails. And that was my line. I can’t believe I found a line.
