2026 Honoree
Ke huy quan
Ke Huy Quan is an Oscar-winning actor who immigrated to the United States as a child and grew up in Los Angeles. Discovered at an open casting call with no acting experience, he was cast at age 12 as Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”, followed by his role as Data in the beloved adventure classic, “Goonies”. As opportunities became limited, he stepped away from acting to study at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, graduating in 1999, and later worked behind the scenes as an action choreographer and assistant director. After more than two decades away from acting, he returned to the screen in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Academy Award–winning “Everything Everywhere All At Once”, earning widespread acclaim along with the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since appeared in Season 2 of the Disney+ series “Loki”, starred in Universal’s “Love Hurts”, and voiced Gary De’ Snake in Disney’s animated film “Zootopia 2”. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Echo.
