1. > “It was a very different experience going from Indy to The Goonies,” Quan explained. Because he was the only kid on the set of his film debut, “I got all the attention, all the love.”

   > Things were a little different when he began filming Goonies, however. “All of a sudden, I walk on The Goonies set [and] I was with six other kids,” the now-52-year-old Oscar winner recalled.

   > “And they all knew what they were doing, even though it was their first movie. Like, Sean Astin grew up in a movie family. Josh [Brolin] grew up in a movie family. Jeff Cohen was so awesome and cute, and he was a ham. And Corey Feldman was a pro already. And they all knew how to look the best in front of the camera, how to say the lines, how to hit the marks.”

2. I think my dude needs more life experiences. He has been talking about this stuff forever. Josh Brolin probably doesn’t even remember it lolz

3. I can’t believe he isn’t up for more roles! There aren’t many Oscars that were so well deserved. The Electric State sounds incredible. He might win again for that one.

4. Just listened to the podcast on Armchair Experts. Def made me tear up
