Jack Quaid suffered nasty injury a week before 'first lead role'
'Novocaine' actor Jack Quaid has recalling suffering a nasty injury just days before his school's "first ever play".
Jack Quaid fractured his ankle a week before his first leading role as a child.
The 32-year-old actor - who appeared in 2012's 'The Hunger Games' before finding fame in the likes of 'Scream', 'Oppenheimer' and 'Novocaine' - has recalled a painful injury he suffered as he prepared for his first foray into acting.
He told the 'Smallzy's Surgery' podcast: "I remember when I was in Middle School, I was doing the first ever play - I was a lead, entering my Middle School leading man era.
"That's when I became a real p***k! But I remember, a week out before the first performance, parkour had just entered the zeitgeist and I was like, 'I'm gonna jump off this locker into the next locker'.
"And I immediately fractured a bone in my foot... I didn't make the jump, but I did the entire performance with a giant boot on my foot."
Jack admitted he has never "returned to parkour" since that day, but joked he could do "maybe some time in the future".
His latest role in 'Novocaine' sees him star as bank employee Nathan Caine with an inability to feel pain.
Jack revealed he has suffered "a few" injuries on other film sets.
He said: "I remember, I was - there's a few. I've bruised a rib on a job - not this one. A freak accident."
