Jack Quaid, known for playing Hughie in The Boys, joins the voice cast of the fifth season of Invincible on Prime Video. The actor will voice Gravitator, an inventor with the ability to manipulate gravity. This move keeps Quaid within the superhero genre, now in a long-running animated series that has already been renewed for a sixth season.
The art of bending gravity in animation 🌀
Gravitator is a character who alters the gravitational field around him, allowing for combat and action scenes with an uncommon physical component. In animation, this type of power requires synchronization between dialogue and visual effects so that the weight and speed of objects feel real. Quaid's experience in voice acting, combined with his versatile vocal range, facilitates the portrayal of an inventor who plays with the laws of physics.
From insecure hero to inventor who pins you to the ground 💥
Hughie spent the series trembling before Homelander; now Jack Quaid plays a guy who can literally stick you to the ceiling. At least in Invincible he won't have to deal with a psychopath in a cape, though seeing how the comics go, he might end up crushed by his own invention. Sure, the salary will be the same and the risk of explosion, similar.
