Jack Quaid gets thoughtful in this new shot from Interview mag.

The 19-year-old actor, and son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, plays District 1 tribute Marvel in the upcoming The Hunger Games.

“I do something horrible to someone very small and cute, and then I have my ass handed to me immediately after.” Jack shared. “When I got cast, I was told that people would be spitting on me in the streets.”

Jack added that he liked being on the other side of the camera this time: “I’ve been on sets my whole life, but this is the first time in front of the camera and not in a chair with Sour Patch Kids from the craft services truck. It was a new sensation. It was weird…I really liked it.”

The Hunger Games opens March 23rd.
