Ke Huy Quan reflects on taking a break from acting after 'Indiana Jones,' 'The Goonies' 

❤

@Tran Thai Binh Ideally, You like to think so. But human nature is not always that way either.

He continues to be so humble, real, and positive. Image for mid age and not being financially stable…. And his wife stay by him all his life, truly from poor to rich. Just a wonder human being and give this world and people hope in life ❤

This interview was before the Academy Awards ceremony, but after he won a Golden Globe Award, Independent Spirit Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards (one shared), and numerous wins at 54 local critics association awards.

He did win!

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I'm happy for him.

"Head of the Class." damn I watched that this Morning

I loved Head of the class!!

Yep! And they both won an Oscar the same day! Both are wonderful people!

He played the President of the Computer Club at Encino High 😂

When he won the oscar my mom thought it was jackie chan lol 😂

Unfortunately, that confirms the lack of representation 🫤

At a glance, he resembles until he starts to speak. Jackie Chan uses a stunt double for English speaking.

Naw. He doesn't have Chan's big nose.

Yeah his character Data is one of the best in that film

I really hope they make a Goonies sequel --- would be cool to see Ke, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen, and Corey Feldman returning!

@@kerzytibok3211 Goonies never say die!!

" GOONIES FOREVER!!"

Pretty much any kid who was a teen in the 80's remembers the Goonies

@@kerzytibok3211 😄😄 Damn I was old -But still my favorite movie

reality...

He's in six episodes of season 2 of _Loki_ . He will also be in the series _American Born Chinese_ .

Go cry elsewhere

(Just want to point out that Ke Huy Quan is Vietnamese, not Chinese, although ethnically he is of Han Chinese background!) Also I would be curious to know what you mean about “placating the Chinese global audience.” I personally felt that the movie was very much centered around American themes - the experience of immigration, e.g. struggling with being at the interstice between your parents in “the old country” and your children who are growing up somewhere new, trying to make a living and find your happiness in this new place you chose to come to, thinking of all you left behind, and eventually coming to realize that you don’t have to be perfect and able to everything to be happy: all you need is your family, the people you love! That feels very American to me. Same too with the satirical/adversarial portrayal of government bureaucrats in their relationship with the working class, the general confrontation of chaotic nihilism, and one of the main characters being LGBT - I don’t think would fly in the PRC. Would be interested to hear your thoughts!

They want an asian that fits the stereotype rather than someone like John Cho or Chow Yun Fat that has a cool factor and so they can check off the race box and say they aren't racist. I don't think the actors these days getting recognition really represent all asians.

@@abc123fhdi The characters on _Everything Everything All at Once_ are not one-dimensional stereotypes. They are three-dimensional characters.

Nah Jesus ain't stopped slavery while millions called on his name.

It's NOT RACIST. To ask, bring up that Asian acting parts were n are still very RARE. It's a Pertinent inquiry.

Because despite your sensitive feelings...it was a stumbling block for him. How many major male Asian roles do you think they had back 20 yrs ago? It's reality. And you degrading his lived experience doesn't make it any less true.

@@toasted_.coconut They had Chow Yun Fat in Bullet Proof Monk in the 90's and John Cho in several movies in the past and recently, like Star Trek movies and Harold and Kumar movies but they will never win an Oscar because they don't fit the Hollywood Asian Stereotype like all the asian actors winning oscars do.

Big facts!💯

Go back to bed, old man

40 -50 years from now, I wonder what some will say about films today?

Umm what? He talks the same as he did in Temple of Doom.

What a weird comment to make
