He's even more down to earth than the average person. It's so odd to see someone like him in show biz; so utterly devoid of self-importance and narcissism. What a guy he is
@@jedijones He did work in Chinese cinema. He played the starring role in the 1993 Mandarin-language TV show _The Big Eunuch and the Little Carpenter_ 《大太監與小木匠》which ran for forty episodes. He also starred in the 1996 Hong Kong/Vietnam co-production _Red Pirate_ .
This is one of the most incredible examples of the human spirit and the outcome for him will be even more rewarding. I challenge anyone who has a heart not to get emotional right along with this great human being. His honesty and drive should be used as an example of what our human spirit can do. I want him to get the Oscar. He deserves it.
This is the greatest Oscar ever. Ke, Brendan, Michelle and Jamie Lee all got Oscars in the same year. I don't think any Oscar will ever beat this year.
Ke Huy Quan when he was young, was good looking got charisma, got great actor potential, and Hollywood didn't use him. He would have been great in sitcoms comedies too. 30 years wasted. Hollywood been sleeping on him. What a shame.
There's deep wisdom in his vulnerability, and I can't help but be reminded of the character he plays in EEAAO "Please be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on."
I have never rooted for an actor to win an Oscar as I have for Ke. We're the same age, and his success inspires me. It's like watching a damn good friend get to a great place in life.
Every time I watch Ke talk and get emotional I start getting choked up too. I really lost it when he said "I just wanted a job" because I know all too well what that feels like. He deserves all this and more after over two decades of missing out. Bravo Ke. I hope you win that Oscar.
i genuinely believe he has the best hollywood story. came from nothing (immigrant from vietnam), had some success as a kid, people forgot about him/couldn't find any roles, then he comes back with an academy award-nominated performance (hoping for a win!) 20 years later. doesn't take any of that for granted either. he deserves everything!
@@fredwerza3478 i think Culkin quit acting because his father Kit pushed him into the business and the amount of money Macaulay was making in the 90s led to lawsuits with Kit and Macaulay described Kit as Overbearing. Luckily Macaulay cut ties with Kit. Macaulay as an adult made a guest appearance on Will and Grace, he made cameos in youtube shows like Half in the Bag and The Angry Video Game Nerd. In 2018 he reenacted scenes from Home Alone in a commercial for google assistant. Macaulay is also a musician in 2013 he formed a comedy rock band called The Pizza Underground. The band's songs mostly consists of Parodies of songs by The Velvet Underground with Pizza Themed Lyrics. Macaulay is now a father himself he had a child with Actress Brenda Song and he's also a godfather to Michael Jackson's Kids. And by the way Macaulay's aunt is actress Bonnie Bedelia who played Holly in Die Hard.
The genuine emotions surging through him with every thing he says... he is one of the only genuine people I've seen in recent years. We need to protect him and keep him kind. Ke has become one of my favorite people.
Ke Huy Quan didn't give up, glad he's able to take role again after 25 years in the film, he just won Oscar, congratulations to him, he's going to be successful again in Hollywood.
Quan hasn’t just been nominated, he’s won 99% of these, EVERYTHING!!! From the Golden Globe, Independent Spirit Award, Saturn Award, Critics Choice, SAG and just about every damn Film Critics Circle & Association that exists, from Austin to Boston and Florida to North Dakota, Philly to Seattle, Minnesota to Utah, and like a dozen more….WHAT A HUMBLING and APPRECIATIVE MAN!!!! Congrats to Quan. That Oscar awaits!!!
To me the best part of Ke Huy Quan's story is that it was not story of an overnight sensation who stayed at the top, nor that he crashed and burned. It is a story of someone who developed an affinity and love of being an actor and having this success after years of striving and hoping... Enjoy the sweetness of your success Mr. Quan. Will be watching for you during the awards season!
Ke might one of the most purehearted people I've ever been blessed to see in my life. Would that we all could be so pure of heart in all our work and all our dreams. I'm thrilled for him.
as someone who is an asian living in south east asia, he inspires me tremendously to work hard and not give up. i like to sing and write songs and my dream is to be able to perform in america someday.
He just seems like the sweetest man, so genuine, humble and full of emotions. HSP for sure. I wish him all the best after his Oscar win and that he will get more roles, because we want to see more of him!
If your superheroes had stunt coordinators, he is the real deal. Studied film, just raw talent, humble star, I will not get tired of his wins. Also, Ke just doesnt want roles that stereotypes his race. That is noble in and of itself. He wants pure storytelling that doesnt put asians as cliche. We know James Hong suffered for it and it took 70 years. Oscar lets go!
I’ve never been more excited for an actor than this guy! He was so vulnerable during the awards ceremonies and he didn’t hide any emotion! He was the real deal and we not only got to see what a great actor he is but more importantly what a wonderful human being he is as well!
Ke Huy Quan is such a phenomenal person. His story is a real life Hollywood story. He could have let his experience turn him into a bitter, jaded guy but he kept trying and dreaming and now he is reaping the benefits. I hope he will win the Oscar for his performance.
That interviewer is hard as nails. I can not stop crying watching this interview. 😭 I am so happy for him and the whole cast. Love the movie. The best picture won best picture this year, finally.
It was just a couple of years ago out of curiosity I Googled him to see what he was up to. That was before all this. DAMN! way to go Ke! He's had fans all along. Now the execs are finally realizing that.
I want him to win the Oscar SO much. I was halfway through EEAAO before I even recognized him. His acting was utterly masterful, going from the mild-mannered husband to the action hero in a flash, it was incredible. I watch all of his interviews and cry my way through them. And if he wins, I'll be bawling my eyes out with joy.
What I love most about Ke is that he's not afraid to show emotion as a male. Sometimes we get flack cuz we tear up easy or show our emotions easier. I'm a big softy, i cry during good movies. My gf loves it lol. But sometimes its ok to just be real and express how we feel. Dont be afraid to show your feelings in different ways than what the world expects from you.
Just rewatched EEAAO to understand ever little thing but mostly to watch him shine again! Can't wait to see what's next, love his emotion, honesty, humility & sweetness. Told m 28 yo son, proof that patience & perseverance pays off in time!
Ke is probably the only Oscar frontrunner nominee who I will still be excited to win. And if a different name is called next month, then the Academy better pray I'm not in the vicinity.
In a world so full of superficiality and nonsense, it brings me so much joy, almost as much as Ke feels himself, to see him succeed; but also that he understands the ups and downs of life. We can all feel what he feels because of how geniune it is. It's nice to see him and Brendan Frasier being appreciated when the crap of hollywood turned them away.
This is also a story about a forgiving person. All those famous actors and producers he once knew could have given a hand up these past 20 years. Jokes on them! He deserved the Oscar for his sheer talent; not bc of his redemption story. But the story is awesome
Such a sweet and uplifting tale. The dude is so genuine and positive. He's now one of my favorites, right up there with Keanu, Jamie lee Curtis, Dolly Parton etc. So glad to see good things happening to good people.
We are all lucky that he played that role. I couldn’t imagine a better performance from anyone. I really hope to see more from him, he’s deeply talented
Extremely happy for him, been a fan since my childhood, I've rewatched Temple of Doom and Goonies hundreds of times, he definitely deserves all of the success he's having now.
Ke is truly seems like one of the kindest, most genuine people to ever come out of Hollywood. I dont think the man has a mean bone in his body, seems extremely humble and grateful for the second chance at acting he's been given. And it's nice seeing a childhood star story that didn't end in complete disaster. I hope all of the good things continue to happen for him. Everything Everywhere All At Once was an incredible movie and his performance is completely deserving of all these accolades. Also it's kinda cool he ended up getting to live both a famous and a regular life, I'm sure there are days when huge stars wish no one knew who they were. That had to have contributed to how down to earth he is.
He is so wholesome! I cry every time he cries, I can't think of him crying or suffering for anything! What a lovely time for him, and how lovely that his wife spoke life to him when he saw no possibility! My ❤️
OMG this made me cry!!! What an amazing and humble man. If I should ever get the chance to attend a premier, it will be my honor to shake his hand. I hope the universe grants me that wish. I'm so happy for his success. I feel he's one of the few in Hollywood that truly appreciates his great fortune. If you read this Ke Huy, I wish you continued success and always stay the beautiful humble human being that you are!! Hugs from my little city of Perris, California. *If you should ever need an extra in your film, I'm your girl! ❤️
What An absolute Legend I absolutely LOVE Ke Huy Quan I hope he wins both The Screen actors guild And of course the Oscar for best Supporting actor for his brilliant Performance In Everything Everywhere All at once.
Ke Huy Quan is a true genuine Hollywood person not looking for fame but a career a job like he said.
nailed it Drew!
I agree.
He's even more down to earth than the average person. It's so odd to see someone like him in show biz; so utterly devoid of self-importance and narcissism. What a guy he is
I just hate all the jaded Hollywood types --- Quan is a reminder that ordinary people appreciate these great moments the most
YES EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine leaving acting for two decades and coming back winning an Oscar🤯
comeback of the century
SAG award, then an Oscar? That would be frickin' awesome
I believe he's been sweeping every single award that he was nominated.
Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice, Gotham, maybe 30 others…the only hiccup was the BAFTA’s who may have been giving a nod to a non-American actor.
Now that's a drama!
We missed out on having twenty years without this wonderful man on screen, what a crime
Ke stepped away from acting because there weren't roles for Asian men - so glad this is finally, slowly, starting to change.
He maybe should've gone to work in Hong Kong or Chinese cinema like Maggie Q did. Asian-American actors can do really well there.
@@jedijones He did work in Chinese cinema. He played the starring role in the 1993 Mandarin-language TV show _The Big Eunuch and the Little Carpenter_ 《大太監與小木匠》which ran for forty episodes. He also starred in the 1996 Hong Kong/Vietnam co-production _Red Pirate_ .
My thought exactly as I just watched EEAAO the third time!!! FINALLY his due reward & future film career!!!!
what a come back story.
he is the example of how a good soul will shine no matter how long it takes! What a wonderful guy!
and Goonies never say die!
Him and Brendan. Maybe good guys do come first after all.
It's kinda crazy how the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor this year might go to two amazing comeback stories --- Brendan and Ke!
@hatelovebowel I couldn’t agree with you more
This is one of the most incredible examples of the human spirit and the outcome for him will be even more rewarding. I challenge anyone who has a heart not to get emotional right along with this great human being. His honesty and drive should be used as an example of what our human spirit can do. I want him to get the Oscar. He deserves it.
I wish him all the joy and luck in the world.
Always have a plan b that diploma from USC helped him for 20 yrs.
@@apt62 So very true!!
Absolutely 🙏🏻🤩
He has the immigrant spirit
This is the greatest Oscar ever. Ke, Brendan, Michelle and Jamie Lee all got Oscars in the same year. I don't think any Oscar will ever beat this year.
Every human soul sheds a tear of happiness, and sadness for this one 😢
Ke Huy Quan when he was young, was good looking got charisma, got great actor potential, and Hollywood didn't use him. He would have been great in sitcoms comedies too. 30 years wasted. Hollywood been sleeping on him. What a shame.
It's refreshing to see how emotional and vulnerable he is. Such a good example for people that it's ok to cry sometimes.
There's deep wisdom in his vulnerability, and I can't help but be reminded of the character he plays in EEAAO "Please be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on."
I haven’t watched the Academy Awards in years but I will this year to root for Ke Huy Quan. Such a humble and beautiful person. I hope he wins!
Same for me. I have not watched an award show for at least 10 years. Will be watching it this Sunday to pull for the cast of EEAAO.
He won ❤
I’m so happy he won. So happy for him
We have been robbed 25 years of talent. Hollywood owe this man so much.
And last year’s Oscar was the worst!
There are thousands, even more talented, that don't get that much. It's not fair, it's not unfair, it is what it is.
I have never rooted for an actor to win an Oscar as I have for Ke. We're the same age, and his success inspires me. It's like watching a damn good friend get to a great place in life.
Well then….here we are, Oscar winner!
If Ke's story doesn't inspire you on some level --- you're dead inside and I want nothing to do with you!
Every time I watch Ke talk and get emotional I start getting choked up too. I really lost it when he said "I just wanted a job" because I know all too well what that feels like. He deserves all this and more after over two decades of missing out. Bravo Ke. I hope you win that Oscar.
Love this guy
I KNOW!!!!
Well, congratulations on that Oscar win on Sunday Ke! You deserve it and more.
Me too, I get emotional. His story is inspiring
If Ke's story doesn't inspire you on some level --- you're dead inside and I want nothing to do with you!
Ke deserves the world and so much more.
Absolutely nobody is going to call Ke a spoiled Hollywood type actor, he is what old Hollywood dreams are made of
Ke deserves all of this happiness.
Every human being without malice in their heart does. Ke is just the primo example of that and why everyone is rooting for him.
I appreciate him and his wife!
His wife was not only a great support but played an important role in the script and spirit of the film. And she looks so beautiful!
This man just oozes sincerity and humbleness. He's like a golden retriever puppy or something; I don't know how anyone can hate him
Who said they hated him?
i genuinely believe he has the best hollywood story. came from nothing (immigrant from vietnam), had some success as a kid, people forgot about him/couldn't find any roles, then he comes back with an academy award-nominated performance (hoping for a win!) 20 years later. doesn't take any of that for granted either. he deserves everything!
I only hope Macaulay Culkin has this kind of comeback someday --- he was a really famous kid actor who got shunned by the business as an adult
Academy award *winning 😃🥰
he isn't an Oscar nominee anymore, he's Oscar winner
Yeah! I was thinking of Macaulay Calkin too! I’ll love to see him comeback in a good role!!
@@fredwerza3478 i think Culkin quit acting because his father Kit pushed him into the business and the amount of money Macaulay was making in the 90s led to lawsuits with Kit and Macaulay described Kit as Overbearing.

For us Gen X kids Ke and Brendan making a comeback in the same year with Oscar nominations is everything. So happy they are back ❤❤
Ke is definitely just too precious for this world!
A well deserved nomination for someone who gave it his all ❤️
Absolutely ❤ 💯
Ke and Brendan are the comebacks of the century. I wish only positive and amazing things for them ❤️
The genuine emotions surging through him with every thing he says... he is one of the only genuine people I've seen in recent years. We need to protect him and keep him kind. Ke has become one of my favorite people.
Every interview I’m always crying. He is the sweetest and most genuine man
Ke is such an authentic, special, human being!
What a lovely, raw, honest human being. No wonder he's such a fantastic actor and so captivating on screen. I want him to win forever.
Good lord the emotion and sincerity in this interview nearly made me cry. An instant Ke Huy Quan fan. Wish him all the best
Ke Huy Quan didn't give up, glad he's able to take role again after 25 years in the film, he just won Oscar, congratulations to him, he's going to be successful again in Hollywood.
Bless this man
As an Asian American, I am especially happy for him! It's amazing, now he's an Oscar winner! Congrats Ke Huy! May you have continued success! ❤

Congrats to Quan. That Oscar awaits!!!
I would say Ke has about a 99% chance of winning Best Supporting Oscar
To me the best part of Ke Huy Quan's story is that it was not story of an overnight sensation who stayed at the top, nor that he crashed and burned.

The epitome of hard work, humility, kindness, and amazing talent. I’m glad the world is finally reintroduced to him.
As a former 80s kid, we love you, Data. Congratulations on all your success.
Beautiful interview! Tracy always let the actors talk and express themselves. Can we get the extended version of this, please?
I agree. I wish we wouldn't repeat things they just said in the form of a question, though.
Can't get enough of this guy 🥰

Sooooo deserving of all the accolades and praises he's getting. He is such an amazing actor and human being!
Gem of a human being. Patiently waiting for his Oscar acceptance speech

There is no God
Oh my god he embodies just everything all at once and im not talking about the movie! What a soul! ❤
What a beautiful , deserving human being. “You don’t know what sweet tastes like without tasting sour first” I love that
That is wonderful!!
His beautiful soul, it’s like you can sense it through the camera

I cry every time I watch his interviews. Incredible story and what a performance in #eeaao. Give him an Oscar!
We will have tissues close by on Oscar night.
Same. Cried through this one. This man should have an Oscar, no question.
He is a part of every kid's childhood who grew up in the 80s ..all these awards are so well deserved for him ..keep going !
This is also a story about a forgiving person. All those famous actors and producers he once knew could have given a hand up these past 20 years. Jokes on them!
He deserved the Oscar for his sheer talent; not bc of his redemption story. But the story is awesome
Thank you for sharing this beautiful life story. Inspired me even more.
I wish I could give him a hug. He seems like such a genuine person
Such a sweet and uplifting tale. The dude is so genuine and positive. He's now one of my favorites, right up there with Keanu, Jamie lee Curtis, Dolly Parton etc. So glad to see good things happening to good people.
His dedication and his happiness is infectious.
Please give this man an Oscar!
And he became an Oscar winner!
Ke and his story will possibly be the most positive thing i'll come across this entire year.
He deserves all the success and love coming his way.
Ke Huy Quan got an amazing wife, she stands by her man for better or for worse, now he is triumphant and beats all odds! I hope he wins Oscar!
We are all lucky that he played that role. I couldn’t imagine a better performance from anyone. I really hope to see more from him, he’s deeply talented
An 80s legend!
He will win the Oscar. 💙
Extremely happy for him, been a fan since my childhood, I've rewatched Temple of Doom and Goonies hundreds of times, he definitely deserves all of the success he's having now.
What a lovely human.
This what every upcoming actor should take notice of. Never give up and always have faith in that dream.
Ke is truly seems like one of the kindest, most genuine people to ever come out of Hollywood. I dont think the man has a mean bone in his body, seems extremely humble and grateful for the second chance at acting he's been given. And it's nice seeing a childhood star story that didn't end in complete disaster. I hope all of the good things continue to happen for him. Everything Everywhere All At Once was an incredible movie and his performance is completely deserving of all these accolades.

This humble guy one day will be written on the walk of star...
This man is such a good human. He deserves the best in life. I am so glad the universe has put him in our path again.🙏🏼❤️
He has never had a bad performance. I wanna see him so badly in more films
One of the few Oscar winners that truly honestly deserves it.
His story broke my heart. Glad he's all well now and successful.
Ke Huy Quan is not tainted by Hollywood today. Bless him.
Once in a while, Oscar did something right.
I nearly cried watching this. His dream is really coming true. I'm rooting for him
He is so wholesome! I cry every time he cries, I can't think of him crying or suffering for anything! What a lovely time for him, and how lovely that his wife spoke life to him when he saw no possibility! My ❤️
HEY WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for not giving up. It show we can fight to
the end until our dreams do come through
It just feel good to know that Oscar takes full notice on your movie performance talent after so many years.
Such a wonderful guy. He beams with so much joy and positivity. Hope he wins the Oscars.

Bless You, may you continue to shine!
A true example of never giving up, congrats
