His performance on EEAAO was so impeccable and polished, I would have never thought this actor was not practicing his craft for over 25 years.

One thing that made fans marvel at Quan was the fact that he had taken decades off from acting and still come back to it with such a jaw-dropping performance. They wondered how he had kept his talent sharp during that time.

You know fuck the corrupt Golden Globes but good for Ke Huy Quan. Think how many award worthy performances he could have offered in that 30-year gap if the film industry wasn't so racist. https://t.co/niPwHcIRfB

I gotta say though, Hollywood patting itself on the back for Ke Huy Quan's comeback, as if Hollywood wasn't responsible for the circumstances that made him give up on his acting career in the first place, is pretty hilarious.

The Golden Globes have become very controversial in recent years, so some fans were conflicted about rooting for Quan in this moment. Many also felt strange about seeing all of Hollywood cheer on Quan knowing that some people participated in excluding him for all those years.
