Jack Quaid Superman: the voice of Clark Kent in My Adventures with Superman

Jack Quaid Superman: who is the actor?

Jack Henry Quaid was born on April 24, 1992, in Los Angeles, the only child Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid had together. One sentence is enough: the rest of this page is about his work, not his parents. He attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica, then spent three years at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York. He made his film debut as Marvel, the District 1 tribute, in The Hunger Games (2012).

For Superman, his name points to a mic, not a live-action cape. Jack Quaid is the voice of Clark Kent and Superman in My Adventures with Superman (MAWS). The series already has its own article: we won't go over it again. Here we talk about the actor. Among those who have played Superman, Quaid is the Adult Swim Clark of the 2020s, distinct from Tim Daly and David Corenswet.

May 19, 2021: Jack Quaid Superman announced with Alice Lee

On May 19, 2021, HBO Max and Cartoon Network ordered two seasons of My Adventures with Superman. The Warner Bros. press release named Jack Quaid as Clark Kent and Alice Lee as Lois Lane. TVLine, Decider, and The Futon Critic ran the news the same day. Quaid was 29 at the time. He was already Hughie Campbell in The Boys and the voice of Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks.

The press release's pitch: a Clark and a Lois in their twenties, plus Jimmy, finding their way as an investigative team at the Daily Planet. Clark is still building his secret identity. This is not the already established Clark of the 2025 film. This is an intern learning to fly.

In August 2022, The Hollywood Reporter asked him about the audition. He recalled thinking, in essence, that it would never happen, then giving it a shot anyway. We take the anecdote as the actor's own account, not as studio lore. The series, first presented as “kids and family” for Cartoon Network and HBO Max, ended up airing on Adult Swim.

Seasons, years, network: what Quaid really recorded

Adult Swim's press release scheduled the premiere for July 6, 2023, at midnight; several listings date it the 7th. DC.com dates the series to 2023 and confirms Quaid, Lee, and Ishmel Sahid (Jimmy Olsen). Three seasons are out: 2023, 2024, then 2026. Entertainment Weekly gave the season 3 date: June 13, 2026, first in the Toonami block, then the next day on HBO Max.

Wikipedia and Metacritic both list 10 episodes per season. So you can speak of three seasons without inventing an arc count. Animation on the first two comes from Studio Mir, in South Korea; Wikipedia credits the third to Studio Grida. Jake Wyatt, Brendan Clogher, and Josie Campbell head the writing. James Gunn and Peter Safran are credited as executive producers from season 3 — a matter of credits, not a verdict on the art.

Quaid remains Clark from start to finish. In season 3, Wikipedia and the SDCC 2026 panel add Bizarro to his credits: the same actor, another version of the face. This is not a spin-off. It is one more role in the same series.

Alice Lee as Lois, Sahid as Jimmy: the voices around Quaid

Alice Lee has been on board since the 2021 press release. She voices Lois Lane, a reporter already further along in the job than Clark. Ishmel Sahid voices Jimmy Olsen, the photographer and third member of the trio. Kiana Madeira voices Kara Zor-El / Supergirl: recurring in season 2, a series regular in season 3, confirmed by EW for June 2026.

At SDCC 2026, Quaid, Lee, Sahid, and Madeira share the same stage. Lee talks about a Lois who has to ease off her reporter reflexes a bit. Quaid says he never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that he would one day be a version of Superman — a panel line, a single source. In other words, the role still surprises him in the third season.

We won't go into Clark and Lois's romance, or the Brainiac arc. The series has its page for that. Here the casting fact holds: Quaid has had the same scene partner in the role of Lois since 2021, a Jimmy (Sahid), then a Kara (Madeira). Four voices, one Clark mic.

Which Clark does Jack Quaid voice?

The 2021 press release and the DC page describe a Clark in his twenties, on an investigative team at the Daily Planet, still building his secret identity as Superman. Quaid gives him a younger, more hesitant voice than Tim Daly's in the 1990s. That is not a flaw: it is the series' choice. The hero does not arrive fully formed, unlike the Clark of the Gunn era.

He also voices the man in the cape, not only the reporter. In 2022, Josie Campbell, then a co-producer on the series, praised his comic timing as Clark and the kindness, strength, and dignity he brings to Superman. As for Metropolis, the series shows a city of investigation, not only skyscrapers to save. So Quaid records newsroom scenes as much as flight scenes.

Bizarro, in season 3, gives him a second mask: a clone who sells ice cream, according to Wikipedia. We do not turn that into an episode recap. We note the credit. If you want the Bizarro character over time, the blog has his own page. Here, it is one more line in Quaid's credits.

The Boys, Scream, Lower Decks: the screen around the mic

Away from the mic, Quaid is best known as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, from 2019 to 2026: a civilian caught in a superhero satire. That is not Clark. In fact, he is the moral opposite: Hughie learns to distrust capes. We mention it to avoid confusion, not to recap the Amazon series.

In 2022, he played Richie Kirsch in Scream. From 2020 to 2024, he voiced Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks — another mic, another franchise. In 2023, the year of the MAWS premiere, he also appeared as Richard Feynman in Oppenheimer, a supporting part. 2025 adds Companion and Novocaine.

In that list, only Star Trek: Lower Decks is done behind the mic, like My Adventures with Superman. Everything else plays out on camera.

Don't mix them up: Quaid is neither Daly nor Corenswet

Jack Quaid is not Tim Daly. Daly voiced the Kids' WB Clark from 1996 to 2000. Quaid has voiced the Adult Swim Clark since 2023. He is not George Newbern either, the voice of the 2001 Justice League series. Three animated series, three actors, one hero name.

He is not David Corenswet. Corenswet plays Clark in live action in James Gunn's 2025 film. Quaid, for his part, stays behind a mic stand. Incidentally, Gunn appears in the season 3 credits of MAWS as executive producer: that does not make it the same Clark.

Hughie Campbell is not Clark Kent. Marvel, in The Hunger Games, is not a DC role. And the MAWS Jimmy, Ishmel Sahid, is not Skyler Gisondo: two Jimmys, two formats, two years. If you are sorting voices, Quaid is the 2023 entry. If you are sorting faces, Corenswet is the 2025 entry.

Season 3 (2026): Quaid stays on and voices Bizarro

EW, in 2026, places season 3 on June 13, on Toonami, then the next day on HBO Max. The Quaid / Lee / Sahid / Madeira quartet is back. The season synopsis describes a Clark who would like to lay the groundwork for a life with Lois, while Kara, now more visible, takes an interest in Jimmy. It is a starting point, not a recap of episodes.

Quaid adds Bizarro to the mix. Pop-Culturalist, at SDCC 2026, reports that he announced it himself during the panel. Wikipedia lists him in the credits too. Two sources, one credit. We do not invent the lines. We say he voices both.

Wyatt, in Polygon in August 2026, says the end of season 3 sets up a bigger, more structured conflict for a possible season 4, one that would bring Lex back. That is not a renewal. We do not announce a season 4. We stick to the three seasons that have aired.

Where to hear Jack Quaid as Clark Kent

The role is all in My Adventures with Superman, airing since July 2023 on Adult Swim, then on HBO Max. Three seasons. The series page on the blog gives the context. This one covers the actor. For another animated Clark, there's the 1990s Kids' WB series, voiced by Daly — the blog devotes an article to it. For a theatrical Clark, you have the 2025 film.

On camera, The Boys is the title the write-ups attached to Quaid on announcement day. That is not a Superman role. It is the career that made the 2021 press release possible: an actor already seen as a civilian up against corrupt superheroes, hired to play a still-innocent Clark.

If you want the live-action film order, follow the film guide. For a big-screen Jimmy, it is a different actor from Sahid. For Jimmy Olsen over time, the character has his page. For the three voices mentioned here, the order is simple: Daly, then Newbern, then Quaid.

Conclusion

Jack Quaid has voiced Clark since July 2023, after a May 19, 2021 announcement. Alice Lee voices Lois. Three seasons, a Bizarro in 2026, no confirmed season 4. The rest — The Boys, Scream, the parents — explains the role only loosely.

The series has its article. Daly has his for the 1990s. Corenswet has his for 2025. Here, we stick with the Adult Swim mic: an intern Clark, voiced by an actor who came from a world where capes lie.
