Ke Huy Quan ( KEE-hwee-KWAHN; Vietnamese: Quan Kế Huy; born 1970), also known as Jonathan Ke Quan, is an American actor. His accolades include an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, as well as a nomination for a BAFTA Award. Time magazine named Quan one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023.
Born in South Vietnam, Quan was admitted with his family to the United States as part of the Refugee Admissions Program. As a child actor, he rose to fame playing Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Richard "Data" Wang in The Goonies (1985). Following a few roles as a young adult in the 1990s, including as Jasper Kwong in the fourth and fifth seasons of ABC sitcom Head of the Class, Quan took a 19-year acting hiatus, during which he worked as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.
Quan returned to acting with the Netflix film 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 and one of only two actors of Asian descent to win Best Supporting Actor, following Haing S. Ngor. Quan has since starred in the second season of the Disney+ series Loki (2023), and in the animated films Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) and Zootopia 2 (2025).
