Ke Huy Quan, also known as Jonathan Ke Quan, is a Vietnamese-American actor and stunt choreographer. Quan played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985). In 1990 and 1991, he co-starred as Jasper Kwong in the sitcom Head of the Class over two seasons.

Quan stopped acting due to a lack of opportunity in the late 1990s, when he received his film degree from USC School of Cinematic Arts. He went on to work as a stunt coordinator and assistant director.

He returned to acting as Waymond Wang in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), a role for which he received critical acclaim.

  • Quotes
    [on entertainment lawyer Jeff Cohen, his co-star from The Goonies and legal representative] We'll be friends for life. He's my Goonies brother. In fact, my [Everything Everywhere All at Once] producer told me a really funny story the other day. He said never in his life did he think that he would have to talk to Chunk to get Data to be in his movie. I thought that was hilarious.
