Biography
Ke Huy Quan rose to fame as a child actor playing Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985), defining a generation's sense of adventure cinema. Born in Vietnam, he immigrated to the United States as a child. After scattered roles as a young adult in the 1990s, Quan stepped back from acting entirely, spending 19 years working as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.
He returned to the screen with the family adventure film Finding ʻOhana (2021), but it was Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) that resurrected his career in spectacular fashion. That performance won him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Golden Globe Award, a Saturn Award, and a BAFTA nomination, making him the first Vietnam-born actor to win an Oscar. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023. Since then, Quan has appeared in the second season of Disney+'s Loki (2023) and voiced a character in the animated film Zootopia 2 (2025). As an American actor, Quan combines technical precision from his decades behind the camera with the lived experience of immigrant cinema. A Leo life-path 1, he embodies the pioneer archetype—the child star who reinvented himself on his own terms.
