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.

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.

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."

Ke Huy Quan has joined a new horror movie described as "unlike anything" the Oscar -winning star has done before. The Everything Everywhere All At Once star will appear in Bad Boy alongside Riverdale 's Lili Reinhart, which is unique in that it's told from the perspective of a terrier dog, according to Deadline.

The Oscar winning actor's first lead role is a major misfire that has plenty of violence but little else to recommend it

Love Hurts” gives audiences the best of both worlds as the story follows former assassin Marvin (Key Huy Quan) as he gets yanked out of his new mundane life as a real estate agent and back into his brother’s world of crime when an old flame returns.

Love Hurts makes an emotional reference to Ke Huy Quan's recent comeback and Oscar victory during his reunion with The Goonies co-star Sean Astin.

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.
