If you recognize Quan, it"s likely because he starred in two of the biggest movies from the 1980s. He beat out 6,000 other kids for the role of Short Round in 1984"s Indiana Jones và the Temple of Doom. One year later, he portrayed Data in the hit adventure film The Goonies.

Amid his acting comeback, quan confessed that he"d be happy lớn revive Short Round on the big screen. “If Disney or Lucasfilm ever come to lớn me và say, ‘We want to bởi a Short Round spinoff,’ I’m there man!” he said during a January episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “I love that character so much, I love that experience so much, and it would just be incredible to revisit so many years later.”

Following his success in Indiana Jones & The Goonies, quan liêu booked a handful of smaller TV và film roles before taking a hiatus from acting. As he explained in his 2023 SAG Awards speech, “When I stepped away from acting, it was because there were so few opportunities," specifically for Asian actors.

However, he still stayed within the entertainment industry. Quan liêu attended the University of Southern California"s School of Cinematic Arts & went on khổng lồ work as a stunt coordinator and assistant director on projects such as 2000’s X-Men and 2001’s The One.

Before booking Everything Everywhere, quan liêu said that the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians reignited his love for acting. The film made waves for its all-Asian cast, which featured his future costar Yeoh.

"I saw it three times in the theater; I cried every single time," he shared in a February interview with CBS News. "But one of the reasons why I cried was because I wanted to lớn be up there with them."

Chatting with Variety one month later, quan lại joked that the rom-com gave him "serious FOMO," adding, "I can’t imagine how many others lượt thích me, out there, young & old, shared in the same dreams. I hope our movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once does what Crazy Rich Asians did for me."

Quan is happily married to his wife, Corinna Ke Quan (often referred khổng lồ by her nickname "Echo"), though it is unknown how long it"s been since they tied the knot. It is also unknown whether the two mô tả any kids.

While Crazy Rich Asians may have driven his desire to get back into acting, he also credits his wife for encouraging him to follow through. "It was my wife that said, "Ke, you will get this role,"" he told CBS News of auditioning for Everything Everywhere. "I said, "How can you be so sure?" & she said, "Because you said this role is written for you, & you want it more than anything. You will get it.’”

Nearly 40 years after “Temple of Doom” and “Goonies,” Ke Huy quan tiền is once again a Hollywood star with an acclaimed performance in “Everything Everywhere All At Once” và three new projects coming up. (Dec. 8)

new york (AP) — Ke Huy quan is trying hard not khổng lồ cry.

He’s been crying a lot lately. Quan liêu tends khổng lồ get emotional any time he contemplates his sudden reversal of fate. Every since “Everything Everywhere All at Once” opened in theaters earlier this year, 51-year-old quan lại — who a lifetime ago was the iconic child star of “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom,” as Short Round, & Data in “Goonies” — has been, he says, “overwhelmed by emotions every day.”

“I didn’t think this day would come. It was a day I wanted for so long, for decades. & it’s finally here,” says Quan. “When you have a dream & you kind of bury it because you think it won’t come true, khổng lồ see it finally come true is incredible.”

Quan was once one of the most indelible faces — & voices — of the 1980s. He was 12 when he was cast as Harrison Ford’s Yankee-hat-wearing sidekick in “Temple of Doom.” His younger brother, David, auditioned, but Ke caught Spielberg’s eye. Quan liêu starred in 1985’s “Goonies,” too, but found few roles after that. By the time quan was in his 20s, he had all but disappeared from the screen. Struggling to lớn find a foothold at a time when roles were scarce for Asian American actors, the Vietnamese-born quan lại passed into “Where are they now?” territory.

Quan gave up acting. He went back to lớn school to lớn study film at the University of Southern California & transitioned into working behind the camera. Twenty years passed before he acted again. But when quan liêu was 49, he decided lớn give it one last go. Two weeks later, he landed his role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Now, quan liêu is not just a working actor again, with a string of upcoming roles, he’s being celebrated for one of the best performances of the year. He plays Waymond, the meek husband who transforms in the film’s spiraling multiverses into a fanny-pack-slinging anh hùng and a debonair “In the Mood for Love”-style bachelor. Decades may have passed, but Quan’s sweetly sincere screen presence still shines.

The 51-year-old actor has already picked up awards from the Gotham Awards, the new york Film Critics Circle & has been nominated for a Spirit Award. After spending much of his adult life as an actor just looking for a second chance, quan lại may be the favorite khổng lồ win an Academy Award, for best supporting actor.

“For the longest time, all I wanted was just a job,” quan says. “Just an opportunity to lớn act, khổng lồ show people what I can do. This movie, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once,’ has given me so much beyond anything I could have ever asked for.”

While speaking by Zoom during his day off shooting Anthony & Joe Russo’s “Electric State” in Atlanta,” Quan’s wife was nearby off-camera urging him: “Don’t cry! Don’t cry!” quan tried. But as he reflected on his full-circle journey, he often found it difficult.

“There are so many people out there who doubt themselves, who have dreams they’ve given up or didn’t think would ever come true,” quan tiền said, his voice cracking. “To those people, I hope my story inspires them.”

AP: Since the release of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” what’s this year been lượt thích for you?

QUAN: I’m cloud not nine but 18. Before it came out, I was really nervous. When I got back into acting, I didn’t tell my family. I kept it a secret from everybody. I didn’t know whether anyone would want me. I didn’t even know if I could get a job. And even after we finished the movie, I didn’t know if I was any good. That’s why I kept it away from my family because I’m thinking: “If I get fired during production, they won’t know about it.” Or, “If I suck or the movie sucks, they won’t know about it.” I told them right before our trailer came out. The day before I called my family and said, “I’ve got a little surprise for you.” I said, “I’m an actor again.” When the movie came out, they saw it and they called me. They had zero information about my role. They said, “Ke, you’re in this movie a lot!”

AP: Given your personal history, bởi vì you connect especially with the movie’s exploration of alternate realities & lives not lived?

QUAN: For the longest time, the characters I went up for didn’t have a character name, they only lasted a page or two. I thought this role was written for me. I remember reading it until 5 a.m., sitting on the sofa, imagining all the things I wanted to lớn put into this character & the three versions of this character. I was looking out the window and I saw the sun rise. I felt lượt thích I have enough life experience now that I can vì this. Right before I went to lớn bed, reality mix in. The imagination was done. I’m thinking: “There’s no way I get this role, especially having not acted in more than trăng tròn years.” It’s impossible! How can anybody think that your first movie back, that I would have this movie as my comeback movie? At that time, I think winning the lottery would have been much easier.

When I got that wonderful phone call & heard the three words that every actor is so eager to hear, which is “We want you,” I was so happy I can’t even describe my feelings at that time. Honestly, I don’t think I could have played this character had it been offered lớn me 10 years ago. Everything had to happen the way it did. It’s fate.

AP: You were spectacular as a child actor. Did you ever feel it was unjust that you didn’t get more chances after that?

QUAN: In my late teens and my early twenties, when it was extremely difficult for me to lớn get a job, I never blamed anybody. I thought I was not good enough. I thought I was not tall enough. I thought I was not good looking enough. I thought perhaps my acting wasn’t good enough, và that’s why I wasn’t landing these roles. And I was really young. I blamed myself. For the longest time, I wished I was better. Hollywood writers were just not writing roles for Asian actors. I didn’t think lượt thích that. I would always fantasize: “What would it be lượt thích for me khổng lồ be in that role?” But of course, it never happened. Hollywood didn’t write roles like that for Asian actors. I didn’t know it then, so I just blamed myself.

AP: When you quit acting, had you made your peace with it? Or did you hold out some hope of returning some day?

QUAN: I struggle with that decision for at least two years. You know, the last audition that I did was for a role with no name, two lines. I walk in the room & there were 30 other Asian actors fighting for this tiny bread crumb. When I didn’t even get that, I didn’t see a future for myself anymore as an actor. I felt lượt thích time was just slipping away. I spent so much time waiting by the phone, hoping it would ring, hoping my agent would gọi me, hoping that one day I would get another role lượt thích Data or Short Round.

That was when I decided to lớn enroll in USC film school. When I stepped away, I thought I stepped away for good. For the longest time, I believed that I didn’t like acting anymore, until I started seeing my fellow Asian actors succeeding. I go: “Wow, time has changed. We are getting not just very stereotypical roles but meaningful roles, meaty roles.” It wasn’t until then that that acting bug, which I buried very, very deep, started crawling back khổng lồ the surface, to lớn the point that I could not deny that urge khổng lồ get back anymore. You understand, I’m not in my 20s. I’m not in my 30s anymore. I was 49 when I made that decision. It scared me. But the idea of having regret of not giving voice lớn that dream scared me even more.

AP: All through those years, you’ve said Spielberg has sent you an annual holiday gift. What does he send you?

QUAN: It’s always a wonderful present with a card. Every single year for the last 38 years. Every year will be different. I always look forward to that one special gift that I get from Steven. It always warms my heart that he still remembers me, that he still thinks about me when the holiday comes around. I’m always grateful to that man. Not only did he teach me so much, but he changed my life in the most wonderful way. I guess the reason why I love acting so much has a lot vị with him. My first experience as an actor was on his set. I have such fond memories of that experience. That’s the reason I fell in love with acting.

AP: Have you seen him since “Everything Everywhere All at Once” came out?

QUAN: I saw Steven over Zoom during the pandemic. We did a couple of “Goonies” reunions, so that was really sweet. But ever since our movie came out, I have not seen or spoken to lớn him. So I want khổng lồ see him in person và ask him what he thinks about our movie và my performance. I hope I make him proud.

AP: You have, though, reunited with Harrison Ford. The photo taken at the D23 sự kiện probably warmed the hearts of millions.

QUAN: I also reunited with Frank Marshall và Kathleen Kennedy at the same sự kiện I saw Harrison. We all kind of had a mini-reunion. I even joked with Kathy và Frank, knowing that I’m not in “Indy 5” -- they’ve already made it -- I said: “Oh my gosh, it would have been so much better if Short Round was in it.” Kathy was so sweet. Kathy said, “Ke, this is so much better. What you have now is so much better.”

AP: How did you experience the response khổng lồ the photo with Ford?

QUAN: I remember that day very well. It’s been 38 years. After I went out and we chatted for a little bit, we took three pictures. The first one, it was just me putting my arms around him and him putting his arm over my shoulder. In that moment, I felt so comfortable. I could not help myself but lớn wrap my arms around him – this man that I love dearly. Ever since it came out, the response khổng lồ fans from all over the world, how they see that picture & it brings tears to lớn their eyes – it brought tears to my eyes. I was emotional when I hugged him. Và to see him smile the way he did! It was just one of those very special moments in life you don’t get very often. I will remember it as long as I live.

AP: What would an Oscar nomination mean to lớn you?

QUAN: When I was auditioning for this movie, I prayed to lớn get this role. I made a wish & it came true. I had my birthday in August & every year for the longest time, for as long as I live, every single year I’ve made a wish. This year I didn’t. I didn’t want lớn be greedy. I’ve already had everything I ever wanted as an actor with this amazing movie. Whatever happens, my dream has already come true. God, Buddha has already answered my prayer. Everything else is icing on the cake.

AP: Are you still recognized often on the street? Has this film changed how people approach you?

QUAN: Over the years, it was once every while. People recognize me, especially my voice. The question that I always get asked is: “Are you the kid from ‘Indiana Jones?’” Or, “Are you the kid from ‘Goonies?’” I’m so lucky to have been a part of those two wonderful movies. But for the longest time, I always wished that I would vì chưng something as an adult where people would recognize me. I’ve done Comic-Cons where I’ve signed autographs & pictures, but I was just a kid. Now I have that. When I go out, people say, “Wow, you’re Waymond from ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once.’”
