Ke Huy Quan Wants To Play “A Bad Guy” Next: “Like A Bond Villain”


With an unprecedented onscreen comeback under his belt, Ke Huy Quan wants "to play a bad guy" next.

Or the kind of thing Hugh Grant does in Heretic,” he told Empire, adding: “I want to go out of my comfort zone and just play this diabolical, really bad guy. Following his Oscar and Golden Globe-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once(2022), Quan can next be seen as retired hitman-turned-realtor Marvin Gable in the Jonathan Eusebio-helmed Universal action thriller Love Hurts, premiering Feb. 7. Quan has also been cast in the upcoming Lionsgate action thriller Fairytale in New York, from director Jalmari Helander, which stars the actor as an unassuming cab driver who goes after a gang of criminals on Christmas Eve to retrieve his children’s stolen Christmas presents.
