For the series 'American Born Chinese,' Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan reunite to tell an Asian-American story with a primarily Asian cast. 'I think we've broken that glass ceiling, we've ninja-kicked it to hell,' Yeoh said Friday.
"There were no faces that looked like me, there were no roles out there that represented us," said Yeoh.
Cretton, an executive producer on"American Born Chinese," convinced Yeoh to join the cast."He texted me saying, 'Let's play,'" Yeoh said. Quan, 51, who broke out as a child actor as Short Round in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and as Data in 1985's"The Goonies," said he eventually dropped out of acting because the roles were so scarce.
