Jack Quaid has been covered in blood as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, drawn blood as Richie Kirsch in Scream and Marvel in The Hunger Games, but in Novocaine, he'll feel nothing when he, himself, bleeds. In the new action-comedy, Quaid plays Nathan Caine, an assistant manager at a bank, who was born with a rare medical condition that causes him to be unable to feel any sort of physical pain. When his workplace crush (Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, Nathan must become the vigilante hero he was long destined to be. Dan Berk and Robert Olsen (Villains) direct the film.

In an interview with Collider, Neeson spoke about his experience working on the film: "I trusted Akiva very much because it's a genre I'm not really used to. I've done a couple of little TV sketches that might last two minutes or something. But, for a whole movie, this was a novel experience for me. So I was a bit nervous, and I was a bit nervous most days. Because I wasn't sure if I was funny, to be honest."

While Richards hopes to win the cash prize to provide for his ailing young daughter, there is a catch: nobody has ever won the show.
