Ian Quinlan who stars in the new Mark Miller Jupiter's legacy as Hutch now streaming on Netflix catches up with us for our new podcast and video series over zoom. The following is an excerpt from our full interview. How did you get started as an actor in the city? IQ: I’m a native New Yorker and I started acting really young around like five. I was doing commercials. My mom tells the story that she used to walk by my room
and she would hear all these voices coming from inside. She opened the door and it would just be me and like a Calvin and Hobbes kinda towel cape with like my action figures, all lined up in some sort of battle sequence. I'd be like, shut the door. I started doing Music of the Heart as a kid with Meryl Streep cause I also played violin. Then I did the Lion King on Broadway for a year. It was a blast being a kid in New York getting to leave school early on a Wednesday to be on Broadway was pretty cool. I decided I really had a passion for it in high school doing plays SUMMER 2021
and stuff. I actually went to Fordham University for acting and directing and I got out of school and I'm just doing it. Let’s jump into the Superhero genre. I know you have experience with being in Gotham. IQ: I love Batman. I'm a huge Batman fan. I love all the villains of Batman. I love the story of Batman. I love his whole narrative. So that was really cool when I used to go out for the nerdy guy who never gets the girl that was like my type. Yeah.
