Ke Huy Quan
Ke Huy Quan found instant success as a child actor with “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies”—and then he stepped away for decades, unsure if he’d ever return. Now? Quan is an Oscar nominee for the role of Waymond Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” just one of 11 nominations for the universe-hopping A24 action-comedy. "I've waited more than 30 years for this. Don't give up. That opportunity will come knock and you just have to be ready,” he says. “When it does, you have to pour your entire heart and soul into it. I hope people can hear my story and know if it can ever happen to me, it can happen to you. You just have to be patient." In this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Quan walks us through his entire inspiring journey back to acting, the doubts along the way, and what’s next for his improbable comeback. --- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
