It takes one executive or casting director to reject an actor like Ke and Spielberg can’t really change hollywood racism overnight. Can you even think of a hollywood movie or project that had asian actors in them? Hollywood is incredibly white especially in the 80s and 90s when Ke was trying to break out.

It was touching and sad to hear that Ke Huy Quan had thought everyone had forgotten about him. I certainly can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I know that well before this movie, the characters Short Round and Data were names that often came up in pop culture conversations and on podcasts that I listen to. Those characters are baked into my nostalgia and are absolutely some of the most memorable parts of those movies, which in turn were extremely memorable parts of my pop-culture development. I'm glad he's getting this chance to find out just how much he's remembered, and how excited we are to see him back on our screens.

Ke Huy Quan always seems so sweet and enthusiastic. It would be fun to see him in a romantic film someday. I hope we get to see him in a LOT of films and shows now that he has his Oscar!

Everything, everywhere, all at once is a great movie. So many amazing actors and such fun, but man! is it great to see the kid that was Data, and Short Round back in movies again! His characters were 2 of the best, most memorable characters of that era, and definitely added sooo much to both of those movies. So happy for him, and happy for us too, cause we get him back😁

I love the fact that Ke’s entertainment attorney is his former child co-star, “Chunk” Jeff Cohen from Goonies. After acting as a young kid, he became a lawyer! I heard about this in one of Ke’s interviews recently!

The second everyone I knew found out Ke Huy Quan was the kid from Goonies and Indiana Jones, they were instantly incredibly excited. He was the favorite child actor of so many people. Why the bloody hell did people not give him a job? We lost YEARS of having this incredible actor perform for us, and he lost so much time he could have been living his dream.

@TheAccidentalViking Жыл бұрын

He went to University and became a stunt coordinator and worked behind the camera on some pretty big movies so he was still in the industry. But, absolutely. Acting makes him so happy, I'm glad he's back into it. I'm excited to see him in more roles. But, when you think about it, how many parts, before this past decade, were cast with Asian actors? He said himself, it wasn't until he saw 'Crazy Rich Asians' he realised that there ARE parts out there and he wanted back into it.

That dude is so humble. It seems to me like he really feels his childhood may have just been like a dream or something… and now being thrust into the spotlight is overwhelming. I mean his outro sounded like he probably played it cool as long as he could then got himself boosted up and said “this is incredible” presumably about just meeting Colbert and being On his show. Omg I love This dude.
