Keep Your Dreams Alive
Ke Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor for ‘Everything Everywhere All at One’ at the 95th Oscars in 2023. In his emotional acceptance speech, he thanked his mom, brother, and wife, Echo.
Your Day Will Come
Echo kept telling him, month after month, year after year, for twenty years, that one day his time would come. There had been a time when he had stepped away from acting. He thought that everyone had forgotten about him.
Dreams Are Something You Have to Believe in.
Quan said that “dreams are something that you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive.”
Quan rose to fame by playing Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985). After appearing in a few roles in the 1990s, he took a 19-year acting break, during which he worked as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.
