Dennis Quaid rose to fame with his role as Gordon “Gordo” Cooper in the 1983 historical drama The Right Stuff, but truly made a name for himself as a romantic lead with 1987’s The Big Easy.
He continued to charm audiences with roles in films like The Parent Trap (1998) and In Good Company (2004).
In 1991, Dennis married actress Meg Ryan, with whom he had worked on two films. Their son, Jack Quaid, was born in 1992, and the couple announced their separation in 2000.
Jack attended New York University Tisch School of the Arts for three years before making his acting debut in 2012’s The Hunger Games. After the film, he also pursued independent projects and sketch comedy.
The 34-year-old became a household name as Hughie Campbell in the hit superhero series The Boys (2019–2026). He also appeared as Richard Feynman in the 2023 Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer.
In July 2024, Jack opened up about the advantages of being the son of two movie stars and embraced the “nepo baby” label.
"I am an immensely privileged person," he told The Daily Beast.
He revealed that he landed an agent very early in his career because of his parents’ fame, describing it as “more than half the battle” for anyone pursuing acting.
In 2025, Jack starred in Novocaine, an action comedy that became a critical and box-office hit. Following its success, Dennis gushed about his son, telling Page Six that he hoped Jack’s career would eclipse both his and Ryan’s.
"I think he's on a trajectory to go way beyond both of us," he said.
Jack’s upcoming projects include the comedy film Close Personal Friends and a voice role in Invincible season 5. Dennis recently appeared in the Netflix action thriller War Machine and will next be seen in the film The Florist.
