What does it take for an actor to return to acting after a 20-year hiatus? For Ke Huy Quan, it's a perfect role made for him by happenstance.

Quan also starred in The Goonies as the genius, Data. He acted in various films throughout the 1980s and 1990s before focusing on behind-the-scenes work in 2002. A sci-fi comedy-drama that stars characters inhabiting a multiverse, the role of Waymond requires someone who can play three different parts - a meek husband, a martial arts expert, and a romantic lead."With this character, we needed someone who could do the drama, do the comedy, [be] bilingual, maybe even trilingual, a martial artist, and then on top of that, be able to be convincingly dopey and sweet," Kwan said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

However, it just so happened that Quan was starting to consider getting back into acting following the success of Crazy Rich Asians, which just so happens to also star Michelle Yeoh. After getting a friend to represent him as an agent, he got a call two weeks later about Everything Everywhere All At Once.
