Jack Quaid knows the power of a good wardrobe.
Whether he’s decked out in graphic tees as the Billy Joel-obsessed moral compass of The Boys, transforming into a junior A&R executive in the ‘70s-set series Vinyl or sporting the iconic Star Trek uniform in Strange New Worlds, costume choices have always helped elevate and define his characters.
In his latest role as the star of men’s clothing brand Bonobos’ fall 2026 campaign, Quaid wears a different kind of attire to portray a put-together employee who, despite all his office mishaps, remains chipper thanks to his fitted, comfortable clothes that instill confidence.
As part of the campaign, Quaid appears alongside real Bonobos employees in an episodic series called The Weekday Warrior Show, inspired by the brand’s best-selling, wrinkle-resistant Weekday Warrior Pant. New episodes of the workplace comedy debut throughout the fall season, and the featured collection is available at Bonobos.com and Bonobos Guideshop locations nationwide.
“I’ve been a fan for a number of years,” Quaid said, recalling walking past the Bonobos Los Angeles store years ago and being drawn to its patterned short-sleeve shirts.
“They were just really fun, they were affordable, and they very much felt like me,” he continued. “I had some of them for years, so when they reached out, I couldn’t say no. When you’re an actor, sometimes certain brands come your way that feel right, and sometimes they feel very, very wrong. But Bonobos reached out and I was like, ‘Oh, this just makes total sense.’”

Quaid acknowledged that he’s “always one step too late when it comes to fashion,” but said his style has evolved and improved since his “millennial hipster era” of wearing graphic T-shirts and skinny jeans in high school.
“Bonobos was definitely part of that journey, and it was nice for me, especially in my 20s, to have a clothing line out there that was affordable, that looked good,” Quaid said, describing his current style as fun but also polished, much like the Bonobos brand ethos.
Quaid’s earlier fashion choices might’ve inadvertently added to his fondness for his Boys character Hughie Campbell, who had no shortage of graphic T-shirts referencing his favorite musical artists.
“I think Hughie dresses a lot like I did in high school,” he said, adding that while he’s not a style icon by any means, he did keep some of his character’s clothing, including his jacket, for sentimental reasons.
“I feel like I can’t just wear that in my day-to-day life without getting a few side-eyes,” he joked.
Quaid said the character he’s played who had the “best clothes I’ve ever worn” is from the upcoming Western film Blood on the Promontory.
“Whenever that comes out, you’ll see exactly what I mean,” he said. “I felt great in those clothes.”

Prime Video’s superhero satire series The Boys wasn’t Quaid’s introduction to acting, but it was the first show he was part of that lasted longer than one season. He credits the series with teaching him the fundamentals and esoteric details about the craft, from how to be part of an ensemble to how to break new ground with a character.
“I learned a lot in the moment of how to keep the longevity of a character going and how to find new beats,” he said. “And I learned so much just by watching my fellow actors and how they conducted themselves on set, and being amazed by the talent on display every day. It was really like going back to school.”
Earlier this year, Quaid bid farewell to The Boys with its fifth and final season, an eight-episode thrill ride packed with heartbreaking deaths and deserved character demises, like the long-awaited defeat of the show’s main villain, Homelander (Antony Starr).
Season five was the most-watched in the series’ history, with more than 55 million viewers, per Prime Video. And Hughie, the heart of the show whose personal tragedy kickstarted the story back in 2019, got a happy ending with Annie January/Starlight (Erin Moriarty), proving that nice guys don’t always finish last.
In the months since the series finale, Quaid has had time to reflect on the experience and what he misses most.
“It’s the people,” he said. “I love the people so much. The good news is that they’re not going away anytime soon. They’re still very much in my life. We hang out. I was at Antony Starr’s house the other week with Erin Moriarty. We just tend to gravitate towards each other, and it’s not even just the cast, it’s the crew. I had dinners with some of the old producers the other week. We are very much a family, and every time someone’s birthday comes around, we’re usually there.”
He also sees his co-stars at convention appearances, and is married to The Boys cast member Claudia Doumit, who played Victoria Neuman. Needless to say, the show will always be part of his life.
“I still get to hang out with most, if not all, of the people who I got so close to during that time, which was five seasons, but seven or eight years of our lives, which was just so magical,” he said. “So I’m very grateful we get to keep the party going.”

The Boys might be over, but Quaid and the cast have plenty to celebrate these days. Although The Boys was overlooked in the major categories for the 78th Emmy Awards — a source of frustration among fans — the final season earned five below-the-line nominations: Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics, Outstanding Music Supervision, Outstanding Stunt Coordination For Drama Programming and Outstanding Sound Editing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One Hour).
And this week, The Boys supervising stunt coordinator John Koyama scored his third Emmy win for his work on the series.
“I’m so unbelievably happy for him,” Quaid said of Koyama’s win. “ It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. He’s just such a professional. He is so talented, so good at what he does, and couldn’t be a nicer guy.”
Quaid shouted out other members of his crew who are recognized at this year’s awards show, including Christopher Lennertz and Daveed Diggs, whose earworm “Raise Him Up,” performed by Diggs’ character Oh Father, earned a nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
“It’s still in my head,” Quaid said of the song. “Everybody is just so good at what they do, and I’m happy for all of them.”

Quaid has played his fair share of roles, from the drama and heightened absurdity of The Boys to action roles in Heads of State with John Cena and Idris Elba and Novocaine, where he starred as a man unable to feel pain. But the actor said his heart lies in comedies.
After wrapping up production of the final season of The Boys, Quaid got to work on a full-blown comedy called Close Personal Friends alongside Brie Larson, Lily Collins and Henry Golding — which turned out to be just what he needed after putting Hughie in the rearview.
“It was the perfect job to go into because every day we were just focused on making each other laugh and we all got very close,” Quaid said of the film, which doesn’t have an official release date yet. “I just can’t wait to see it. I haven’t seen it yet, and I can’t wait for audiences to see it as well because we had a blast making it.”
