Everyone is talking about Everything Everywhere All at Once. With such a fantastic cast of famous actors and people you may recognize, it is no wonder fans want to see more of their work.
The latest brainchild of the directing duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is backed by emotive and memorable performances that will leave a lasting impression on you. Everything Everywhere All at Once follows a woman drowning under the stress of her family’s failing laundromat, her ailing marriage and the elderly father who disapproves of her life choices. The distance between her and her daughter threatens to unravel the fabric of existence, as she learns that she’s just one in a vast multiverse but the only one who can save it.
Let's take a closer look at the cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once — what they've done before the Daniels' genre-bending sci-fi adventure film, and where you can see them next.
8 Michelle Yeoh
Michelle Yeoh is having a career resurgence at the moment. You may have recently seen her in mainstream hits like Crazy Rich Asians and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but this Malaysian actor has been a regular in Hollywood and Hong Kong for decades.
You may recognize Yeoh from Ang Lee's Oscar-nominated masterpiece Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or for her performance in the Supercop films alongside Jackie Chan.
The 59-year-old actress has appeared in a range of major franchises including Tomorrow Never Dies and Star Trek: Discover. In 2004, she started dating Jean Todt, the former General Manager and CEO of Scuderia Ferrari and later the former president of the FIA . In July 2008, she confirmed her engagement to him during an interview with Craig Ferguson.
7 Stephanie Hsu
Stephanie Hsu's role in Everything Everywhere All At Once is her first as a lead in a feature film, but there's a good chance you've seen the actress' work before.
31-year-old Hsu starred in two Broadway productions — SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical and Be More Chill — before landing the role of Mei in season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. More recently, she appeared as Soo, Simu Liu and Awkwafina's straight-laced friend in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
6 Ke Huy Quan
Vietamese born Ke Huy Quan's breakthrough came with his role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. At just 12, he played Short Round before starring as Data in The Goonies.
After he struggled to find work in adulthood, he decided to work behind the scenes. Quan has choreographed stunts for X-Men and Jet Li's The One, and found even more work in Hong Kong —working as an assistant director on Wong Kar-wai's 2046. Appalled by the lack of acting opportunities for Asian Americans, Quan retired from acting in 2002. However, the success of Crazy Rich Asians in 2018 inspired him to return to acting.
"But all the times I was working behind the camera, even as content as I was, there was something missing," Quan said in a recent interview. In February 2022, it was announced he had joined the cast of the TV adaptation of American Born Chinese for Disney+.
5 James Hong
James Hong has had a long and illustrious career with over 600 credits across film and television. Before his acting career, he served in the United States Army with the Special Services, where he honed his performing skills entertaining soldiers during the Korean war.
The 93-year-old actor has worked consistently since the mid-'50s, but he's probably best-known for his voice work in movies like Kung Fu Panda and Mulan, as well as series like Star Wars: Rebels and Jackie Chan Adventures. He also had bit parts in blockbusters like Chinatown and Blade Runner.
There was a campaign to get Hong a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, started by fellow actor Daniel Dae Kim on GoFundMe in 2020. He received his star in 2022.
4 Jamie Lee Curtis
63-year-old Jamie Lee Curtis is probably the most recognizable star of Everything Everywhere All At Once. Like Yeoh, the True Lies actress has been working consistently since the 1970s. Daughter to screen icons Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, she made her debut in 1978's Halloween before starring in hits like Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda and My Girl.
She returned to the Halloween franchise in 2018, as well as starring as Linda in Knives Out. In September 2021, she was honored with the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for her lifetime achievement. Jamie Lee Curtis is also a prolific children's book writer, publishing 13 novels for kids. She also writes for The Huffington Post.
She has been married to fellow actor Christopher Guest since 1984, and they have two adopted daughters. Her daughter came out as transgender and Curtis fights for the rights of LBGTQ people.
3 Tallie Medel
Everything Everywhere All At Once is the breakout role for comedy actress Tallie Medel. You may recognize Medel from Broad City or Inside Amy Schumer, or from the dance comedy troupe called Cocoon Central dance team. Medel co-founded the troupe with Eleanore Pienta and Sunita Mani (who also appears in the film).
2 Jenny Slate
Jenny Slate is a well-known comedy and voice actress. She has starred in humorous films like Obvious Child and Venom and TV shows like Parks and Recreation and House of Lies.
She's also the mind (and the voice!) behind Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, a role she'll be reprising for the upcoming A24 film of the same name. Her well known voice has appeared in movies like The Secret Life Of Pets, Zootopia and TV show Bob's Burgers. Slate was married to Dean Fleischer-Camp between 2012 and 2016, after their divorce, she briefly dated Chris Evans. She is engaged and has a child with art curator Ben Shattuck.
1 Harry Shum Jr.
Harry Shum Jr. is one of the few Glee actors to have successfully escaped the musical series. Since graduating from the Fox show, Shum has racked up credits in Crazy Rich Asians, TV's Shadowhunters and Love Hard.
The 39-year-old was born in Costa Rica and has a dance background. He joined Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Missy Elliott in their co-headlining tour Ladies First in 2004. He has also worked as a back-up dancer for Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.
