Ke Huy Quan, born on August 20, 1971, is a Vietnamese-American actor and stunt coordinator who rose to fame as a child star in the 1980s. Despite his relatively short career in Hollywood, he is still fondly remembered by fans of the movies that made him famous, including “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies.”

Ke Huy Quan was born in Saigon, Vietnam and fled to the United States with his family when he was just six years old. He began acting in the mid-1980s and quickly caught the attention of Hollywood producers with his natural talent and charisma. His breakthrough role came in 1984 when he was cast as Harrison Ford’s sidekick, Short Round, in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

As Short Round, Ke Huy Quan stole the hearts of audiences with his witty one-liners, bravery, and unwavering loyalty to Indiana Jones. His character quickly became a fan favorite and helped to launch Ke Huy Quan’s career in Hollywood.

Ke Huy Quan’s next major role was in the 1985 classic “The Goonies,” in which he played Data, a gadget-loving member of a group of misfit kids who go on an adventure to find hidden treasure. Once again, Ke Huy Quan’s charm and humor shone through, and he quickly became one of the most beloved characters in the film.

After “The Goonies,” Ke Huy Quan continued to act in a few more movies, including “Breathing Fire” and “Encino Man,” but he gradually transitioned into a career behind the scenes as a stunt coordinator. He worked on several major movies, including “X-Men” and “The One,” and even returned to the “Indiana Jones” franchise as a stunt coordinator for the fourth installment, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

Although he hasn’t been in the spotlight as an actor in many years, Ke Huy Quan remains a beloved figure in Hollywood and is still remembered by fans around the world for his memorable performances in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies.” His talent, humor, and charisma continue to inspire generations of movie fans, and his legacy as a child star will live on for years to come.
