Ke Huy Quan, Vietnamese-American actor, is famous for playing Data in The Goonies and Short Round in Indiana Jones.
Quan crushed both roles and it’s not an exaggeration to say he gives Sean Connery and Karen Allen a run for their money as “best Indy sidekick ever.”
Quan has fond memories of the Temple of Doom production and his relationship with Ford, who seems to have taken on a big-brother role for the young actor:
It was a very, very happy time. We all stayed in the same hotel in Sri Lanka and we’d go back to Harrison’s hotel room and hang out.
He even taught me to swim.
On the set, Harrison played jokes on Steven all the time.
There’s one shot where the mine car pops up into frame.
Right before we did it, Harrison got ice-cream cones and gave some to me and Kate.
When Steve said, “Action,” we all popped up with ice-cream smeared all over our faces.
