We’re still wiping away our tears after hearing Ke Huy Quan’s moving acceptance speech for his Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in the smash-hit film, Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Just like many, we were not only quickly reminded of how talented of an actor Quan is but also reminded of the unfortunate truth that Hollywood often closes the curtains on actors of color whose stories just aren’t finished quite yet.
Thankfully, Quan was remembered, and now, we expect to see him appear in many more films and shows since he’s back on everyone’s radars. But, before these new titles release, let us take you on a journey through Ke Huy Quan’s amazing career thus far.
Here are the best movies and shows featuring Ke Huy Quan, as well as where you can stream them.

Let’s start with the very first film that put Quan on the map, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In the 1984 film, Quan starred as Short Round, a child who helps Indiana Jones through his journey through Lao Che. This role opened many doors for Quan as a child actor, and once you view the film for yourself, you’re sure to understand why.
