After two decades since his last major role, Ke Huy Quan found himself standing in front of writers/directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, auditioning for the role of Waymond in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” After a grueling two months of waiting, Quan got the call he had been waiting for, learning he got the part. Of course, landing a major movie role requires signing contracts, and for that, he turned to Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk in “The Goonies.”
Shortly after dancing the Truffle Shuffle in “The Goonies,” Cohen altered his career path, receiving a law degree from UCLA in 2000. He used that degree to become an Entertainment Lawyer. When it was time for Quan to sign the contract to play his part in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” his former treasure-hunting co-star was there to help him, and this connection was something that seemed almost surreal.

Thankfully these Goonies stuck together, with Cohen helping nail down Quan’s contract and his role as Waymond.
