Early life

Quan was born Ke Huy Quan in Saigon, South Vietnam, and was forced to leave his country when the Army of the Republic of Vietnam was defeated during the Fall of Saigon. His family was selected for pool asylum and emigrated to the United States.

He became a child actor and at 12-13 starred as Harrison Ford's sidekick, Short Round, in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". He was also "Data" in the 1985 movie "The Goonies".

He then played Sam on the short-lived TV series "Together We Stand" (1986–1987) and played Jasper Kwong in the sitcom "Head of the Class" from 1989 to 1991. He also starred in the movie "Breathing Fire" (1991) and had a cameo in "Encino Man" (1992). He last appeared onscreen in the 2002 Hong Kong movie, Second Time Around, alongside Ekin Cheng and Cecilia Cheung.
