  • Ke Huy Quan -- best known for his appearances in the 1980s Steven Spielberg productions of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984) as Harrison Ford's sidekick 'Short Round' and "The Goonies" (1985) as inventor 'Richard "Data" Wang' -- reminisces about his career, shares behind-the-scenes stories and answers fan questions at his 2019 Niagara Falls Comic Con Q&A panel.
    Jonathan Luke Ke Huy Quan (born August 20th, 1971) is a Vietnamese-born American actor and stunt choreographer of Chinese descent who became a child actor at age 12 opposite Harrison Ford in "Temple of Doom." In 1985, he co-starred in "The Goonies" as a member of the eponymous group of children. He played a pickpocket orphan in the 1986 Taiwanese movie "It Takes a Thief." In 1987, he appeared in the Japanese movie "Passengers" with the Japanese idol singer Honda Minako. He played Sam on the short-lived TV series "Together We Stand" (1986-1987) and played Jasper Kwong in the sitcom "Head of the Class" from 1989 to 1991. He also starred in the movie "Breathing Fire" (1991) and had a small role in "Encino Man" (1992). He played the starring role in the 1993 Mandarin language TV show "The Big Eunuch and the Little Carpenter" which ran for forty episodes. He also starred in the 1996 Hong Kong/Vietnam collaboration movie "Red Pirate." He last appeared onscreen in the 2002 Hong Kong movie "Second Time Around" alongside Ekin Cheng and Cecilia Cheung.
    "Everything Everywhere All at Once" is a 2022 American absurdist comedy-drama film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who produced it with Anthony and Joe Russo and Jonathan Wang. It follows Evelyn Wang, a Chinese-American immigrant who must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse. Michelle Yeoh stars as Evelyn, with Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis in supporting roles. The New York Times called the film a "swirl of genre anarchy" with elements of surreal comedy, science fiction, fantasy, martial arts films, and animation.
    "The Goonies" is a 1985 American adventure comedy film that became a cult classic. It is centered on a band of kids who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon who attempt to save their homes from demolition, and in so doing, discover an old Spanish map that leads them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy -- a legendary 17th-century pirate. They are continuously chased by a family of criminals who want the treasure for themselves. In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."

      Agreed. They messed up Indy 4 by adding dumb new characters and not bringing back old ones, besides Marion, among other issues. I'd rather see an adult Short Round sidekick any day of the week if they make another one.

      According to the Indy lost files, he becomes an archaeologist and hunts down the peacock eye (the diamond that Indy loses in temple of doom). I wouldn't mind Him and Indy making a return in Indy 5, probably in Communist China were Mao has taken over. During that era there was a cultural revolution where the Communists destroyed a lot of Ancient Chinese antiquities.

    So cool to see this in mid 2023, when he''s made a huge, and hugely improbable, comeback as an actor and is considered to be a likely Oscar nominee. He's not doing obscure comicons now--he's on every major and minor talk show on TV. He just had a reunion with Harrison Ford at some Disney event --first time they've seen each other in 35+ years. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I was struck by how often he said "I was lucky" or "I was fortunate."

      would've been perfect. I guess they needed a reason to bring Karen Allen back into the plot but it was extremely poor casting. A failed attempt by Hollywood to promote a terrible actor who lucked into being cast as the main character of a popular franchise that didn't need him to succeed. This happens way too often for my liking. It was obvious from the first Transformers that he wasn't going to be the next big thing.

    I loved Ke Huy Quan as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, one of my favorite of all the Indiana Jones films, and Richard "Data" Wang in The Goonies (one of my favorite 1985 movies which my mother also loves). He was just too damn cute as a kid. Too bad once they grow up, they're not so cute anymore. I recall watching all three of the Indiana Jones film with my mother on DVD on the Friday when I had my wisdom teeth removed. It was a good way to recuperate while eating soft food. Ke Huy Quan FOREVER!

That´s so weird/strange/funny. Anyway... He looks a REALLY NICE GUY. Type of person that you can spend hours of talking. Not only because of his history but, I don't know, it looks nice to talk to him.

    Here is my idea for what should be the final Indiana Jones movie:
    Indiana Jones is retired from his adventures. He's living with his wife Marion and Mutt.
    But then there is news that someone is illegal selling extremely rare Chinese artifacts to the Triad on the black market
    and they are using the alias "Indiana Jones". Indiana and Mutt go to China to investigate the fraud.
    But to Indiana's surprise it turns out the fake Indiana Jones is actually his old friend...yes you guessed it Short Round.
    Indiana heard that Short Round died in a horrible paramotor accident but in truth Short Round simply faked his death
    because the Chinese Communists, the Chinese Triad, the Russian Mob, and even the American FBI are all looking for a particular mystical Chinese artifact and Short Round has a map or something. Short Round had been creating perfect forgeries of rare Chinese artifacts and he purposely used the name Indiana Jones so that Indiana could help him. However since Indiana is too old it's up to Mutt and Short Round to find the mystical Chinese artifact and save the day.
    There is just one problem....they hate each other's guts. Will Indy be able to get these two numb skulls to see eye to eye
    and prevent the powerful and deadly mystical Chinese artifact from falling into the wrong hands?
    Especially the hands of Lao Che The Second played by none other than the legend himself...Jackie Chan.
    I think something along those lines would make for a totally awesome finale to Indiana Jones.
    Temple of Doom was chronological the first in the Indiana Jones movies and it starts off in China and
    it would be great to bring it back there. I don't really know what the artifact would be because I admit I'm not
    an expert on that kind of stuff (maybe something from Journey to the West but I have actually not read it. I just know it influenced Dragon Ball ).
    I think it would be cool to have Jackie Chan play a villain and on top of that being the son of the notorious gangster Lao Che.
    Obviously it doesn't have to be Jackie Chan. There are a lot of great Chinese actors. I just think he is a great actor.
    But mostly while the movie would be the final Indiana Jones movie it would really be a Short Round and Mutt movie
    where there is a lot of distrust between the two but they become allies at the end. Indiana Jones would be like how Henry Jones Senior (played by Sean Connery) was in the Last Crusade. Except way more grumpy.
