Jack Quaid, born on April 24, 1992, in Los Angeles, is making a name for himself in Hollywood, but his journey is colored by a unique childhood. As the son of renowned actors Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, Jack's upbringing was far from conventional. As he told the "Allegedly With Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss" podcast (via People), "I acknowledge fully the way that I grew up was not normal." However, that was all he knew. "[I]t was normal in the sense that despite what my parents do, they are still a mom and a dad. It's not like they are their characters at the dinner table or anything like that," he said.

Growing up amid the entertainment industry, Jack's exposure to the world of filmmaking began early. Accompanying his parents to on-location shoots, the "Hunger Games" 

actor recalled having little patience while at work with his parents, telling People, "A kid can't handle how slow a set moves, so I would watch a couple of takes and then go to the craft service truck and try to steal all the candy I could!"

Jack's parents were married for a decade before parting ways in 2001, finalizing their divorce when Jack was 9. Of the experience, Jack told "Allegedly" (via People), "It's hard to ignore when you're at a grocery store and you're checking out and you look at [magazines], and there's a photo of them with a little paper rip graphic between them."
