Jack Quaid tells Entertainment Weekly which fellow movie star taught him what it means to be first on the call sheet.
The actor said he’d “be nowhere without” his Hunger Games costar Jennifer Lawrence.
He also called her a “great leader” on the set of the first film.
Jack Quaid is singing Jennifer Lawrence’s praises.
The 34-year-old Boys alum stopped by EW’s 2026 San Diego Comic-Con studio over the weekend, where he revealed how his Hunger Games costar taught him what it means to be first on a call sheet during a game of Superhero Mount Rushmore.
“Katniss Everdeen, the Girl on Fire, I’d be nowhere without you,” Quaid said, holding up a photo of Lawrence before placing it on his Mount Rushmore. “Jennifer Lawrence, maybe the nicest person ever. It was amazing I got to be in that movie and to meet her and that entire cast.”

The actor starred as Marvel — a tribute from District 1 who infamously kills Katniss’ ally Rue (Amandla Stenberg) — in the first Hunger Games film. After murdering the young girl, Katniss ends Marvel’s life by shooting him with an arrow.
Quaid described Lawrence as “a great leader” on the set of the 2012 film adaptation. “She taught me what it meant to be number one on the call sheet, and she absolutely crushed it,” he added. “So, of course, gotta go with Jen.”
While Quaid’s character didn’t make it out of the first film alive, Lawrence would go on to star in the next three Hunger Games installments alongside Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and more.
Quaid rounded out his Mount Rushmore with Christian Bale’s version of Bruce Wayne/Batman, David Corenswet’s take on Clark Kent/Superman, and Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales/Spider-Man from Across the Spider-Verse.

But he wasn’t done just yet.
“Can I just get an honorable mention for the Powerpuff Girls? Because my God, what a show,” he said as he precariously placed the portrait of the animated trio alongside his core four. “There we go. I’m building a new Mount Rushmore.”
He revealed which Powerpuff Girl he most closely identifies with, too. “I’m definitely Bubbles. I just know I am. I know this for a fact,” he explained. “Her vibe and my vibe are definitely very similar.”
Still, he acknowledged that others in his life may have a different answer.
“In college, I lived with these two guys and we rented an apartment, we painted our doors the Powerpuff Girl colors, and I believe they gave me Blossom,” he said. “And I don’t know why, because I don’t think I’m the commander and the leader, but I think maybe I’ll go with Blossom actually. That’s what they bestowed upon me.
He added, “So thank you, boys. Thank you college roommates, Rob and Max.”
