Jack Quaid on how he transformed a rare condition into a superpower in new film, "Novocaine"

Actor Jack Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain in "Novocaine," a new action film that opens in theaters Friday.

Quaid, known for his role as Hughie in the hit series "The Boys," plays Nathan Cain, a character with a real but rare medical condition that prevents him from feeling pain.

"I often think of it like an action movie for horror fans. That's how violent and gory it is." he said. "I think what's so great about it is we contrast that with this awesome romance between Sherry and Nate. If you don't believe in them as a couple, then the action's not going to work for you."
