Quan plays a hit man turned real estate agent in the action-comedy film directed by Jonathan Eusebio, while DeBose plays his former partner in crime — and love interest — who comes back into his life on Valentine’s Day to settle some scores.

A last-ditch return to acting in his late 40s led to a heart-melting role in 2022’s action comedy "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and then — astoundingly — an Oscar win for best supporting actor. It was a fairy tale moment, and Quan’s emotional acceptance speech was hugely moving. Now comes the hard part: Sustaining a career.

It's movie time, and an Oscar contender is truly, to me, the best movie that we'll talk about this week. We see Ke Huy Quan in a lead role, finally, in "Love Hurts."

Actor Ke Huy Quan is finally front and center after almost four decades in the entertainment industry, a few blockbuster hits and an Oscar under his belt.

Career revivals like the one that has happened to Ke Huy Quan are extremely rare in Hollywood. As a child, he scored two big back-to-back roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies.
