Jack quaid

A nepotism baby
At least nothing like other nepotism babies that get a lot of relevant roles in shows and movies because their parents push their kid’s career asking for favors. Jack’s performance in the boys is solid enough to assume he got the role by his own merit

Talent doesn't dictate 'nepotism baby'. Nepotism dictates nepotism. And while 'nepotism babies' are a problem in Hollywood, there's nothing wrong with celebrating some of the good ones. And Jack is certainly one of them.

The fact that he goofs off with fans and does things like Red Letter Media shows that he's more than just someone taking advantage of their royalty just for money and fame.

Exactly. Yes, talented, but did benefit from having a famous father in the industry. He has had access to many connections that other up and coming actors in his age group will never have and would kill for the opportunity.

Nepotism will always be a problem in every industry, not just Hollywood though. But he is a solid actor and was a great casting choice.
 
Is nepotism really a problem if the person benefiting from it is extremely talented and likely would have excelled even without the connection?

You can't really say they likely would have excelled. There are plenty of talented people who aren't successful
