“I don’t know what I’m doing next,” Quan told reporters.
“All I know is first thing tomorrow, I’m going to call my agent!”
Early in the pandemic, he lost his health insurance because he couldn’t land a single acting job.
And the answer was always the same: ‘I’m so sorry.
There’s nothing out there, but I’ll continue to look.’
But hopefully, when I call my agent tomorrow, he will have a different answer!"
“It’s how I was brought up,” he explained.
“It’s how I was taught.
Tonight, I certainly didn’t think was possible.
I don’t ever want to forget that.”
