- Stars of the hit Amazon Studios series “The Boys” -- Antony Starr (Homelander), Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell), Karl Urban (Billy Butcher) -- discuss the show and their careers, share behind-the-scenes stories and answers fan questions at their 2019 Fan Expo Canada Q&A panel in Toronto.
"The Boys" (2019-) was adapted from the Garth Ennis/Darick Robertson comic into an Amazon TV series by Eric Kripke. It is set in a universe where superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by Vought International, a powerful corporation which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hugh "Hughie" Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed in a high speed collision by the Seven's A-Train, and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.
Antony Starr (born October 25th, 1975) is a New Zealand actor best known for his dual role as twins Jethro and Van West in New Zealand's hit comedy/drama "Outrageous Fortune" and Billy Newwood in "Without a Paddle." He was the series lead, Lucas Hood, in the four season run of "Banshee."
Jack Henry Quaid (born April 24th, 1992) is an American actor. The son of actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, he made his acting debut with a minor role in the science fiction film "The Hunger Games" (2012). In 2019, he starred with Maya Erskine in "Plus One" -- a romantic comedy on Hulu.
Karl-Heinz Urban (born June 7th, 1972) is a New Zealand actor. His career began with appearances in New Zealand films and TV series such as "Xena: Warrior Princess." His first Hollywood role was in the 2002 horror film "Ghost Ship." Since then, he has appeared in many high-profile movies, including the second and third installments of The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in the role of Éomer. He also portrayed Leonard McCoy in the rebooted "Star Trek" films, Vaako in the "Riddick" film series, and Judge Dredd in "Dredd."

" I wanted to laser the baby"
PURE GOLD
One of the babies could be the laser baby from that other episode and they would have a face off! Or maybe a staring contest :P
Reminded me of homelander lol
I've been laughing at that line for a solid 30 seconds, as I type this lololol
@ 7:48
Daiane Araújo Dont we all
Its nice from Homelander, that he plays his secret identity Antony Starr sometimes.
Fair enough
He's THAT good.
😂😂
No shit Brad
I don't know why but even when I see him this casually I still am disgusted by that face. I will always be disgusted by homelander.
I love how “it’s fuckin diabolical” is an official part of Karl’s vocabulary.
But what does it mean??
diablo = devil = satan... so is satanical
@@ukilord1710 god is fake news
@@VivekSingh-ji2ki u nv heard the word before or nah?
@@VivekSingh-ji2ki like awful/horrendous
The best part of Starr's Homelander is when his face goes from cheerful to contemptuous in an instant when he leaves a public event.
Badass actor
Also when most of us smile our eyes get smaller, he does the opposite and makes them bigger, like the top half of his head tells a whole different story from the bottom half.
He came from a show called outrageous fortunes, one of his characters in it (he played twins) Jethro was perfect training for this character.
I guess most real life celebrities are like that.
If Antony Starr is straight then I am the king of England.
Antony Starr.. cursed with resting homicidal face. lol
Loved this.
I understand that pain.
I feel like one of these days he's going to pop a blood vessel doing all that fake smiling
Like a Nancy grace face
@@mellennia9 holdup
"I wanted to laser the baby..." LOL
As soon as Anthony stops smiling I get the sense someone's gonna die
As soon as he starts smiling someone's definitely gonna die.
O and you guys you are the real heroes ❤
I'm the homelander and i can do whatever the fuck I want
The Boys is one of the few rare instances where I think they genuinely made something better than the source material.
On god
Well the source material, or anything by Garth Ennis for that matter, is to be frank...fucked up. If you think The Boys is out there, take a look at Crossed. Yeah...
at the moment im trying to choke my Marvel and DC friends to watch this show
Cuckasaurus Rex lol bet ur edgey and would laugh if your mom told you she had cancer
Nothing will beat HEROGASM!!
You can tell that Antony Starr really likes playing the character of homelander, and it shows in his performance, he’s probably my favorite character in the show
Mine too! He plays him soooo well. My favorite part was when he lasered the plain in two halfs und the camera zooms in on his face and he strikes a Hero pose, like he did the right thing... So amazing
@@ppikach64 his thousand yard stares are the stuff of legends, when he starts yelling at the passengers on the plane I almost ruined my pants
@@Dill_Pickle5760 yeah, that scene was really awesome. "Stay Back! Or i will Laser every f****ing one of you!" was my favorite line so far from him.
He really gets to do a lot of different and extreme emotions as Homelander and transitions from one to the other. Takes a really good actor to do that and he can show all his versatility
He's your favorite character? I fucking hate Homelander and can't wait to see him get splattered.
Antony Starr the absolute legend, definitely the stand out for me in the show!
Me too. I have never seen an actor do those kinds of expressions. He looks so menacing.
@@conifergreen2 Whats just as amazing is how chill he is in real life vs. on the show. You can tell he really enjoys the character
@@conifergreen2 Then checkout Travis Fimmel in the Vikings show and his latest one Raised By Wolves, he's good.
karl urban, there are more stand outs
@@futuropasado not really
Everybody praises Antony for his terrific Homelander role but Karl Urban should be appreciated as well. Whether he is acting or meeting fans at convention he is a delight to watch and listen to. I love how he connects with the fans and genuinely loves his work. Also hats off to Karl for naming Hugh Jackman as a real life superhero.
A Batman to its Joker.
"Scorched earth"
So Karl Urban dresses like Butcher on daily basis.
Karl is honestly one of the most talented actors in recent time.
Karl Urban is very underrated. Still keeping hope that someday Dredd 2 will be made.
It looks like he just came from the set
@@Estorius
Karl and Lena.
Dream casting.
@@lkvideos7181 It was the first time i can remember watching him and he was excellent 👍
Usually I cringe at panel discussions like this but this, this was awesome. These three actors are awesome!
This could not be staged. These guys actually like these panels. Well I guess some actors like it and some dont.
You cringe at people talking?
Thats what happens when you bring two kiwis on stage 😂😂
@@Anonymous-js5oj It's usually the fans asking cringy questions due to meeting their biggest idols. Also, fuck you.
same, this is actually the first time i sat through the whole thing.
jack's reaction to learning that antony does martial arts at 2:57 was amazing. he reminded me of a bird or a lizard
What traumatized Jack Quaid was probably the whale scene.
Karl saying "diabolical" gives it away.
@@heteroclitus i was looking for this comment xD
I think so cause I saw an interview with Karl Urban and he said during that, Jack kept screaming their "safe" word but he didn't hear him so they kept going 😂
It’s cool to look back and know exactly what they’re talking about.
It was actually being on the boat. Karl said so in a more recent interview
Generally the actors/actresses are very wary of cursing in font of public but not Antony Starr...I can't help but admire this actor...He is being himself...Not everyone can do it...
Rigth hes Homelander hinself, he loves the camera, and for some bizarre reasen hes the only phsico who wants yo see
Ayan Das that’s just a Kiwi thing. The Aussies are even more so. They use obscenities to order coffee.
He took a page out of homelanders book and started living as his authentic self
@@THEchiQ karl is also kiwi so...
Karl Urban Wolverine.
YES. Take my money now!
Thats funny cause i was imagining both Karl and antony in the role they both would be great
Shit, I never even considered him and yet he's perfect.
Lobo
brooooo
Jack would be perfect as a Peter Parker, he’s like Toby and Andrew combined. Karl as Wolverine. And Anthony as reverse flash.
YES
18:13. Anthony is going to get asked that a lot over the years I expect. Awesome line to be fair. "You guys are the real heroes!"
Had a grin from ear to ear when he said it lol honestly I thought someone would ask to say the line from the plane “I will LASER EVERY FUCKING ONE OF YOU!” Lmao
I love that in any interview or panel, you can ask Karl Urban a question about himself and he’ll find a way to praise someone else. Truly humble and genuine dude. 💜
I like to imagine Antony Starr is sitting there secretly hating these press events and fan expos just like Homelander...
Lmaoo that would be to funny
Yea I think most celebs hate this kind of stuff unless they are desperate for money.
Seems more like a place for failed child actors than people with active agents.
Is it not ironic seeing a panel like this, with characters from a show that speaks out about literally putting super heroes / celebs on a pedestal?
Karl is such a chameleon, Jack is such a nice person irl and Antony really looks like he has adhd and therefore is naturally gifted
Love that Karl actually uses “diabolical” in real life a lot, hahaha
"lasering people is way better" Oh Homelander.
It's reassuring to know Starr wasn't fully pretending to despise the baby :D
you watched s2……?
For those who don’t know what scene they did “yesterday” that made jack feel sick was the whale scene. The speed boat scene was actually real and supposedly Karl got carried away and couldn’t hear jack scream the safe word to stop the boat because of how loud everything was so when they stopped the boat jack was “as pale as a ghost”.
At 15:45 Antony Starr also mentions "pushing the boat out" in a different context, but you can see Jack look over to Karl right away after hearing the word "boat" to which Karl responds by winking. Super easy to miss but I found it hilarious.
I really love Jack in this series, he’s so endearing, quirky, handsome and nerdy. 💕
Yeah 😍😍 he's lovely.
Give Antony Starr the role of Adam Warlock!
Or the Reverse Flash in the Flash movie coming soon.
Nah, he would be better as Sentry/The Void.
YESSS didn't think of that. i wonder would he take another superhero role
@@jetman1895 Or Hyperion. Although that would be type casting i suppose.
@@knightheaven8992 who cares about typecasting, I commented the same thing on Antony Starr's IG and he even liked my comment, so obviously he isn't bothered.
These 3 actors made the series. Their individual contributions as a whole makes it all work.
I think the entire cast was great
@@TimmyTurner421 not Kimiko and Frenchie though..
@@Tsunazoz Frenchie was great lol. Rather I can't stand this Hughie guy
the script make them like that.
hughie plays his role perfect
Kiwi here with a bias. This show is amazing. And something to be proud of. Two kiwis, one the main protagonist and the other antogonist. Ace in the hole.
Awesome work starr and urban. Keep it up.
chur
Urban is always great.
Antony Starr is one of our greatest exports.
I keep seeing Van West from outrageous fortune lol
@callyharley he does sound australian lol, i like the aussie accent though
Karl Urban has quietly become a legend the last 20 years.
Lord of the Rings
Star Trek
Bourne
Judge Dredd
Thor
The Boys
I love pop culture
I just realized he was Eomer in LOTR recently. I would have never made the connection, maybe if I watched it again now. He definitely doesn't get enough attention.
And Red, his acting in Red is on point.
Fucking hell if Dredd doesn't deserve a sequel
yeahh.. he is Urban Legend
They're all so perfect for their roles.
Karl Urban is such a good actor, didn't realise how many movies I had seen him in because he understands his craft and plays the character, rather than just plays himself in different situations.
Karl Urban is a chameleon and becomes any character with ease. Julius Caesar, Cupid/Green Eyed Monster, Doctor Bones McCoy, Billy Butcher, The Executioner, Judge Dredd, RED and many more. Tig Fong the second unit director, stunt coordinator/fight arranger has done a phenomenal job with the practical stunts for the action. He also has worked on DC's Titans.
People tend to forget he's also Éomer!
Skurge as well.
@@VanillaBearMD3 yeah that was The Executioner.
@@eprggpepicragegameplays9290 Correct. Skurge The Executioner.
Wow , it's almost as if it was his job to pretend
"I wanted to lazer the baby" I guess Antony Starr is literally Homelander
Antony Starr looks so much smaller without Homelander's muscled suit on. From a statuesque American to a sleek Kiwi, I love it.
Antony Starr plays such a hard part. The Homelander's character and behaviour has to play on a second viewing when the audience now knows the depth of his machinations. He knocks it out of the park.
The only thing I can compare it to is Charlize Theron in Arrested Development.
What the fuck..smfh
@@jordanrodriguez6412 Antony Starr also played two twins in Outrageous Fortune. He did it so well everyone believed there were two brothers!!
Theron was in arrested development?
That is an estute comparison
Daniel day Lewis as Bill the butcher.
Antony Starr is one of the most underrated actors ever. Banshee was such a jewel of a show as well.
Banshee was the best. I've watched it 4 times now as im kinda obsessed with Antony Starr! Lol
I’m obsessed with Banshee and Antony Starr too!!
I just noticed this but at 15:45 when Antony starts using the boat metaphor, Jack looks at Karl, presumably in remembrance of having just filmed the boat and whale scene that almost traumatized Jack, and Karl winks at him right after Antony says “push the boat out” and I just think that’s so funny
15:45 when antony says "we push the boat out", jack automatically turns to karl and smiles LOL
16:05 Antony Starr’s laugh after Karl Urban’s DC diss is fooking diabolical!!!
“Facking” not fooking, he’s (trying) to do cockney here and ‘fooking’ is only how more northern English people would say it
The Boys is in my opinion one of THE best comic book adapted tv shows ever made I love it
Its THE best...
I dunno...Umbrella Academy is pretty good too
Haven’t had a chance to watch it,but I might give a shot
Marco umbrella academy is pretty good. It was made by gerard way from MCR, not as edgy as the boys so its more energetic at times.
ZzCanonBull The Great not as good as the boys
Antony's laugh gives me life especially at 24:52 😂
16:04
Dude laughs so heartily all throughout he had to drink water twice
Karl Urban’s revenge tale at 9:20 is freaking hilarious!!
He's truly diabolical
*Homelander holds baby* Baby: "Mother, why have you forsaken me?"
When Antony mentioned Eric Kripke at 15:35 I was blown away. I had no idea the creator/writer for Supernatural was behind The Boys too. Now things make a lot more sense. That guy is an epic storyteller
3 years ago you had no idea Dean would be on The Boys. I bet you loved that. I know I did.
Well, that explains why Jensen Ackles got the role (he nailed it tho)
And you've got Jim Beaver playing "Robert Singer"
I can't think of better Homelander actor than Anthony Starr, he's the perfect fit.
Anthony starr acting is so good that when he said the part "you guys are the real heros" I imagined the actor thinking to himself "oh shit I'm gonna have to do this again" which is basically like his character
15:48 the look Jack gives at Karl when Tony says about pushing the boat, a clear reference to what happens in season 2!
The way these three men sit in their chairs tells you everything you need to know about them.
Yeah you can tell Urban doesnt give af about too many things lol
"I wanted to laser the baby" - Homelander 2019
I've only seen Antony Starr in The Boys, I just watched it in september and he's already a legend for me!
Then watch Banshee
@@playerzone6294 then watch outrageous fortune, he plays twins one a psycho lawyer another a small time criminal with a heart of gold
watch outrageous fortune. You will see where he pulls his homelander acting from
Karl Urban just owns the crowd right off the bat......what a stud!
Antony Starr would be the perfect Reverse Flash for the new Flash movie
No 🧢
No
Yes
Yesss
Yes
I think Jack Quaid is very good in this role...very impressed given the stellar lead other actors..his parents must be so proud
16:04
karl : my crush
antony : me
Antony Starr is so f*cking funny and so f*cking sweet. I love him.
Apart from Karl Urban, I had never heard of any of the cast before but casting really pulled the rabbits out. Antony Starr is amazing and Jack Quaid... I was concerned with the change but his Hughie is such a great character and he plays it with so much charisma.
You need to see Antony in Banshee. It's a great series!
You need to see Antony in Outrageous Fortune.
@@bremCZ I have! He played twins
Brem those were the days! Haha
@@bremCZ
I think Anthony plays the break out character. But the cast is very solid.
29:00 omfg imagine being a comic book writer just sitting in a bar minding your own business and then a bunch of your characters basically comes to life and just goes up to you to talk
It never fails to amuse me when I hear the actual accents of non-North American actors who can clearly pull of an AMAZING, neutral American/Canadian accent! Antony Starr not only sounds American, but he absolutely LOOKS like the typical American Jock-high school football star quarterback!
it's not surprising that he looks american when the ancestry is so similar, I mean amercians are all ppl with bunch of mixed genetics
Anthony Starr Went HOMELANDER MODE.
My Brain: He Is HOMELANDER In Real Life.
Think about this they designed homelandia around Donald trump hello brains are in order
@@rebeckamullardtheglamazonv3623 wot
REBECKA MULLARD THE GLAMAZON VIKING this is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a while, thanks for making my day! :)
Can we just appreciate Jack waving to the audience with the mic, as to both greet them but not disturb the conversation flow? And he covers his face when he laughs, as if he's embarrassed😶🌫 this boy is too cute
Just moved back in with my parents (thanks, covid) and introduced them to this show. I’d forgotten how dark and gruesome it is, which they don’t normally go for, so I was shocked when they binged the first season in two days. The 75 year-old demographic can surprise you. We watched three episodes of season 2 this morning!
"I'm kinda committed to doing the boys" is an interesting sentence without the context
Karl Urban is still playing Billy Butcher even outside the show.
3:00 - Jack reaction made me cackle
Antony's laugh is so cute yet terrifying at the same time
15:14 I would've shit my pants if he said this in the Homelander voice
Seriously one of the top shows to arrive in many years...
These guys are so fun, they seem to be real good sports - some of their comments had me snorting with laughter 😂 Thanks for sharing!
I only started watching this show coz Garth Ennis source material and I knew Karl Urban was in it, so it was such an amazing surprise to see Antony Starr as Homelander, damn! Easily my favorite character and performance here. I've been a fan since Banshee, he was so great in it.
I first came across Urban on the Dredd film. That accent he puts on the show is damn brilliant.
That's his real voice, in case you werent being sarcastic lol
15:15 OMG Anthony is gonna lazer beam the guy
"Mr Superman Fan!"
my god. homelander is so nice in real life.
Gotta keep up the appearances for Vought.
Right? He actually said the "You're the real heroes" like that fan asked him to.
Celebrities usually respond to that kind of request by trolling you somehow. A sarcastic comment or pretending they don't know what you're talking about.
@@luizmarinho6138
He really does appreciate the fans.
I wonder if these guys were on the panel because they're the leads (more or less) and contractually obliged or whether they would have put up any member of the cast but these three volunteered.
He still terrifies me😂
He’s from New Zealand, that’s why 😂
Antony Starr just can’t stand still haha
Dany Hocine wonder some time if he has ADHD but wouldn’t be surprised
Karl Urban has really embraced Billy Butcher. Watch out, you all
The casting for this show is Impeccable. They've kicked ass in this genre.....DC and Marvel......and looks like there'll be more of that to come. The show's only been out for a month and a half and it's already getting that GoT feel where you HAVE TO watch the next episode. Hopefully, the producers wont F this up.
These three have such great energy about them, interacting with each other and so excited and invested in talking to fans and making it enjoyable! They are quickly becoming my favs (always loved Karl though) Antony Starr is freaking hilarious!
As a Kiwi, I feel connected to these boys. In reality we were just born on a patch of ground that has been assigned the name, New Zealand. There's no link beyond that, but I'll take it! Also, Antony not knowing how he pulls off the psychoticness and 'the stare', he must be subconsciously talented. Once he knows how he does it, he can begin to teach others,
Isn't ot funny that Anthony, Karl, and Martin Henderson are absolutely killing it on screen, and they're all products of Shortland Street!!!! Who would've thought. Then there's Tem, Marton Csokas.....man, us Kiwis are talented, lol.
I can see Starr or urban getting a golden globe for they're roles 💯
This panel is as insane as the show itself!!! I LOVE IT!
i'm so excited for season 2 can't wait!!!!
Antony Starr is such a savage!
3:00 Jack’s double take is perfect
Wow, these 3 are great, they never make it awkward, always help those who ask questions and make it work, they're really awesome with fans and great personalities overall
I am just loving how much supportive they are to each other. Always ready to clap and say nice things about each others project. Very good
His character Homelander, might've been built in a lab...but the actual actor is from another solar system.
What a great Q&A, I would watch and listen to these three go like that for ever.
This is one of the best panels I've ever seen.
Thanks for posting this! Saves me from paying money and lining up!
I just looked at Anthony Starr’s movies bro this guy is a gem that waited years to get what he undoubtedly deserves
Karl Urban was born to wear Hawaiian shirts lmao
He *is* practically Homelander! 😅
Knowing homelander and Butcher live in the same city as me is both awesome and terrifying
The boys season 2: It will blow your minds.
LITERALLY
man i love these guys, theyre so funny and chill. Jack is so adorable and the kiwis are brilliant
Yay, shout out to Xena. That was my introduction to Karl Urban as a kid.
Me 2 good times
Haha same
WOW He was in "Xena"? My first introduction to him was "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". LOL
GrimmNoir he wasn’t in that.
First saw karl in
The irrefutable truth about demons
From the cast to the presenter to the fantastic audience, much love, I really enjoyed that.
Karl Urban is definitely just playing himself lol
i hope this show goes on for many many seasons
I wish Karl Urban played The Punisher :) HE FUCKING NAILED IT AS BUTCHER AND DREDD :)
