Ke Huy Quan, a talented Vietnamese-born Chinese-American actor and stunt choreographer, made a lasting impression on the silver screen with his memorable roles.
In the iconic 1984 film "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", Quan brought to life the endearing character of Short Round, a role that has become synonymous with his name.
Two years later, he donned the persona of Data in the beloved 1985 adventure film "The Goonies", cementing his status as a child star.
As the decade progressed, Quan continued to hone his craft, co-starring as Jasper Kwong in the popular sitcom "Head of the Class" for two seasons from 1990 to 1991.
However, as the opportunities began to dwindle in the late 1990s, Quan took a hiatus from acting to pursue a different path.
He went on to receive his film degree from the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, laying the groundwork for a successful career behind the camera.
As a stunt coordinator and assistant director, Quan worked tirelessly to bring his creative vision to life.
Fast-forward to 2022, and Quan made a triumphant return to acting with a critically acclaimed performance as Waymond Wang in the groundbreaking film "Everything Everywhere All at Once".
This pivotal role not only earned him widespread recognition but also garnered him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a testament to his enduring talent and dedication to his craft.
