From child star to Oscar winner, Ke Huy Quan is one of Hollywood's best comeback stories. It isn't done: He's got his first lead role in "Love Hurts."

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."

After the old partner that he had left for dead (played by Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose, who presented Quan with his own Oscar) re-enters his life, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen and must reckon with the pervasive influence of his volatile crime lord brother, Knuckles (Daniel Wu).

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

In an exclusive with HuffPost’s Ellen Lee, the Oscar-winning actor shared how his latest role in “Love Hurts” marks a significant step in reshaping Hollywood.

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.

The new action comedy set in Wisconsin was shot in Canada. But there are some Milwaukee touches, if you look closely. Here are the ones we spotted.

That line, uttered by irrepressible sidekick Short Round in 1984's "Indiana Jones at the Temple of Doom," has endured, even if it didn't end up being true. See, love never died for Ke Huy Quan, who portrayed Indy's precocious sidekick. One might even say the actor's famed Hollywood return could be considered a second chance romance.

The Oscar winners star in the action rom-com about a cheerful realtor whose past as a violent hitman comes back to haunt him. David Daniel talked with the stars about the film.

Love Hurts gets bogged down by its talky second act, but Ke Huy Quan's charms and fists are still enough to mostly salvage the action comedy.
