Episode 1614 - Ke Huy Quan

Ke Huy Quan’s remarkable Hollywood story continues to add more storybook chapters. From coming to America as a refugee to his global stardom as a child actor to leaving acting behind for several decades to a comeback that earned him an Oscar. Now he follows that up with his name above the title of a new action comedy, Love Hurts. Ke tells Marc how all of these memories play out for him and how the vivid recent ones illuminate older memories such as fleeing Vietnam, reuniting with his family in LA, and his dejection when he couldn’t see a way to get back into acting.

Gaza Backtrack, Trans Sports Ban, Garden of American Heroes | Ke Huy Quan

Desi Lydic covers Trump's latest executive actions, including a combination walk back/double-down on his Gaza plan, and a ban on trans athletes that he probably didn't proofread.
