  • Ke Huy Quan didn't expect a Hollywood career when he was picked as a child to star as Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” But success, having peaked early, was short-lived. Now, after decades working behind the camera, Quan returned to the screen in the acclaimed "Everything Everywhere All at Once." He talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about what it means to have won the role for which he's received an Oscar nomination.

      ​@@fredwerza3478 i think Culkin quit acting because his father Kit pushed him into the business and the amount of money Macaulay was making in the 90s led to lawsuits with Kit and Macaulay described Kit as Overbearing. Luckily Macaulay cut ties with Kit. Macaulay as an adult made a guest appearance on Will and Grace, he made cameos in youtube shows like Half in the Bag and The Angry Video Game Nerd. In 2018 he reenacted scenes from Home Alone in a commercial for google assistant. Macaulay is also a musician in 2013 he formed a comedy rock band called The Pizza Underground. The band's songs mostly consists of Parodies of songs by The Velvet Underground with Pizza Themed Lyrics. Macaulay is now a father himself he had a child with Actress Brenda Song and he's also a godfather to Michael Jackson's Kids. And by the way Macaulay's aunt is actress Bonnie Bedelia who played Holly in Die Hard.

And it's nice seeing a childhood star story that didn't end in complete disaster. I hope all of the good things continue to happen for him. Everything Everywhere All At Once was an incredible movie and his performance is completely deserving of all these accolades. Also it's kinda cool he ended up getting to live both a famous and a regular life, I'm sure there are days when huge stars wish no one knew who they were. That had to have contributed to how down to earth he is.

    OMG this made me cry!!! What an amazing and humble man. If I should ever get the chance to attend a premier, it will be my honor to shake his hand. I hope the universe grants me that wish. I'm so happy for his success. I feel he's one of the few in Hollywood that truly appreciates his great fortune. If you read this Ke Huy, I wish you continued success and always stay the beautiful humble human being that you are!! Hugs from my little city of Perris, California. *If you should ever need an extra in your film, I'm your girl! ❤️

    Growing up in the 80's I loved him so much!…..especially in the Goonies. I see him and a wave of Nostalgia warms my heart. If anyone was ever a good person and deserved greatness its definitely him. I truly hope you win. Thank you for making my childhood great and full of Wonder. 🙏🏽💕

    Isn't this life just a mystery? From immigrant to Hollywood child star ⭐ then staring in another movie 🎥 with Brendan Fraser (who's also nominated for an Oscar and the frontrunner in his category)now an Oscar nominated actor who's nearly a lock 🔐 in his category. It all goes to show that no matter how bleak things seem,never give up because you never know how close you are to winning or crossing the finish line!

    I tuned out of the awards ceremonies ages ago. Rarely did the “best” win. But I will have to watch. I soooo hope this amazing actor wins the Oscar. It will be like when underdog Roberto Benigni won and scrambled over seats to get to the stage. No one thought he would win, so they seated him waaaay in the back. I think he kissed everyone on his elated scramble to the stage. It was a truly memorable Oscar night. I’m rooting for you Ke, and I think so is America! Bonne Chance!

    It's so much sweeter now... a life of ups and downs will pave way to victory, at a certain age, maybe too old to remember how much pain you felt at your youth, and you realize you just didn't see the best times coming...
