"Simon Pegg, from the Cornetto Trilogy, he's always been, like, my North Star in a lot of ways. He writes his own material, he's incredible in all the movies that he's in - not all of those are written by him, but you know what I mean... He's so incredible, and he's been my hero for years... Bringing you back a little bit, when I first started my research into The Boys, I read the comic book and was like, "That guy looks familiar! Oh, that guy is Hughie?" So, if no-one knows, in the comic books Hughie is modelled after Simon Pegg circa Spaced. Darick Robertson [...] who illustrated the comic books [...] just loved Spaced, so he put it in, just cause he was like, "This guy's awesome!". They did not clear it with him before they did that. And I'd like to thank Simon Pegg for a number of reasons, but first and foremost is... I have a theory that The Boys the TV show would not be a thing if not for Simon Pegg, because most people would have seen that and been like, 'I'm suing immediately, what do you mean?!" But Simon Pegg probably looked at it and was like, "Oh, sick!" and didn't sue. And so I'm so grateful for a number of reasons, but that primary thing - The Boys wouldn't be a thing if Simon Pegg had sued, so thank you, Simon!
So that was so intimidating for me, because he's such a hero of mine, and you know, Simon never played the role in a live action setting, but they were trying to make that a thing for a while and it kind of felt like he had. So I was like, "Oh no, people are expecting Simon Pegg, how the hell am I going to live up to that?" And then, when they cast him as my Dad, that was great, but also so intimidating, because I'm like, "I'm going to meet a hero. They say never to do that. What's going to happen?" [He] could not have been more welcoming, could not have been kinder... (*tears up*) sorry, he really is the best, truly (*chokes up*) I'm sorry. [...] In that scene I'm like, "You're my hero, Dad" - I'm not acting, I'm just saying it to Simon Pegg."
- Jack Quaid on Happy, Sad, Confused
