The upcoming film Everything Everywhere All At Once follows Chinese-American Evelyn, who is desperately trying to complete her taxes while simultaneously learning about the multiverse and her place in it. In a media market flooded with Marvel and DC multiversal movies, this film promises to be a breath of fresh air, openly parodying the wilder aspects of the multiverse.
The film features a cast of well-known actors and voice actors, so fans are likely to recognize at least a few of them. In fact, you've likely seen or heard them in the roles that they are most famous for.
Harry Shum Jr. — Glee (2009-2015)
Harry Shum Jr.'s most recognizable role is probably his role as Mike Chang on Glee. There, he often played backseat to other characters as a dancer on a singing show but had more of a standout role in seasons three and four where he struggled with his passions conflicting with his parents' expectations for him.
However, Glee is far from the only thing the young star may be found in. He also played Magnus Bane, one of the best characters in Shadowhunters, and was in Crazy Rich Asians along with co-star Michelle Yeoh, where he played the role of Charlie Wu.
Stephanie Hsu — The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017-Present)
Stephanie Hsu is relatively new to the film and television industry, but that doesn't mean she hasn't left her mark. In addition to Everything Everywhere All at Once, she is most recognizable as Mei from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and as Soo from Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
As Mei, Hsu had the opportunity to show off her comedy skills as a fast-talking love interest. In Everything Everywhere All At Once, she will play Evelyn's daughter, a role that will likely require a little bit of action, a little bit of comedy, and a whole lot of heart
Jamie Lee Curtis — Halloween (1978-Present)
Jaime Lee Curtis is an incredibly recognizable figure, and for nothing more so than her role as the Halloween franchise's best final girl, Laurie Strode. As Laurie, Curtis became the iconic Scream Queen, at least until Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott came around to challenge her for the title.
In addition to Halloween, Curtis may be known for her roles as Hannah Miller on Anything But Love, Tess Coleman in Freaky Friday, Joan Day on New Girl, or Dean Cathy Munsch on Scream Queens.
Jenny Slate — I Want You Back (2021)
Recently, Jenny Slate could be seen in the Prime Video movie, I Want You Back, in which she played one of the film's most likable characters, Emma. As Emma, Slate was a devious romantic lead, going to extreme lengths to break up her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend.
However, that is far from the only thing on her resume. Slate is a talented comedian, working on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live, as well as working as a voice actor on such shows as Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Big Mouth, and Bob's Burgers.
Ke Huy Quan — The Goonies (1985)
Ke Huy Quan will be returning to the film and television industry for only the second time since 2002 in Everything Everywhere All At Once. He is best known as Data from The Goonies, but may also be recognizable to fans at his current age from his role as George Phan in Finding 'Ohana
Quan credits co-star Michelle Yeoh's role in Crazy Rich Asians as a large part of his return to acting, according to Entertainment Weekly. He had left the industry after feeling there weren't enough parts written for Asian Americans and is finally returning to what he sees as a more welcoming world for actors of color.
James Hong — Kung Fu Panda (2008-2016)
James Hong's filmography is impressive, with almost 450 credits to his name over the course of his career. While he was in a number of films and television shows for a few episodes, he has a few standout roles, such as Dalong Wong on Jackie Chan Adventures, Chun Yen on Kung Fu, and Barry Chan on The New Adventures of Charlie Chan.
For younger audiences, his face may not be recognizable, but his voice likely will be. Hong voiced Mr. Ping in the Kung Fu Panda films and television shows, making quite an impression on audiences as Po's adopted father. In fact, despite the actor's more serious roles, Kung Fu Panda still cracks the list of his top ten movies by IMDb ratings, making it one of the most recognizable and successful films of his career.
Michelle Yeoh — Star Trek: Discovery (2017-Present)
Like co-star James Hong, Michelle Yeoh was in the Kung Fu Panda franchise as Soothsayer. However, that is far from her most recognizable role. She can be found in major movies like Crazy Rich Asians, where she played Eleanor Young, Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings where she played Ying Nan, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where she played Aleta Ogord.
One of the most recognizable recent roles she took up was as Philippa Georgiou on Star Trek: Discovery, a role that gave her the chance to play multiple different versions of the same character, in a variety of different times and environments. This experience will probably serve her well in her newest reality-bending work, which fans can look forward to watching on March 11.
