It has been an eventful and emotional last few years for Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan in different yet similar ways. Both had their careers reach an early peak with popular archeological adventures and both slipped quietly from the limelight due to unsavory stressors - only to reemerge with a bang. So, when both were honored at the 29th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on February 26, both former colleagues had double the reason to celebrate. In fact, Fraser, who won best actor, grew outright tearful during Quan's speech on Sunday.

The win meant a lot for the Asian and Asian-American community and for Quan, who said, "This is a really emotional moment for me."

Fraser became an adventure movie icon with The Mummy saga but largely disappeared from Hollywood years later. He was reportedly abused by an industry member, which also led him to boycott the 2023 Golden Globes, in protest of what former HFPA president Philip Berk did to him. But this weekend, Fraser marked his cinematic return with The Whale by winning the SAG Award for Best Actor.

He also acted appeared in 1992's Encino Man, which starred Brendan Fraser. But work dried up for Quan as there came a time when work for Asian American actors was limited, especially when Quan wanted meaningful roles that weren't just bit parts. "For the longest time, I wished I was better," admitted Quan. "Hollywood writers were just not writing roles for Asian actors. I didn’t think like that. I would always fantasize: “What would it be like for me to be in that role?” But of course, it never happened. Hollywood didn’t write roles like that for Asian actors. I didn’t know it then, so I just blamed myself." Hopefully, this recent flood of recognition means more good things to come for both actors.
