Ke Huy Quan (/ˌkhwˈkwɑːn/ KEE-hwee-KWAHN;[4] Vietnamese: Quan Kế Huy;[3][a] born August 20, 1971[5][6]), also known as Jonathan Ke Quan, is a Vietnamese-American actor. As a child actor, Quan rose to fame playing Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985). Following a few roles as a young adult in the 1990s, he took a 19-year acting hiatus, during which he worked as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.

Quan returned to acting with the family adventure Finding ʻOhana (2021), followed by the critically acclaimed Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), a performance that won him various accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He is the first Vietnam-born actor to win an Academy Award. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023.[7] He has since starred in the second season of the Disney+ series Loki in 2023.
