The Everything Everywhere All at Once star has won his first Golden Globe after making a sensational return to acting after more than two decades.

and the overwhelmingly positive reaction to his performance, Quan found himself in demand after more than two decades, with many within and outside Hollywood touched by his sensational return and humble nature. The film was released to universal acclaim in March last year, and is frequently found in many ‘film of the year’ lists. Then, more than 30 years after his turn in Indiana Jones, Quan returned to the screen after he was approached by filmmaking partners Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert – collectively known as the Daniels – to star in their upcoming feature Everything Everywhere All at Once. Shortly after securing the role, Quan was offered a supporting role in Goonies-esque adventure film Finding ʻOhana for After cementing himself in pop culture thanks to two iconic performances, he found himself out of the limelight for more than three decades, before a sudden and overwhelming resurgence in 2022. He has won countless awards from film societies and critics associations for the role which has catalysed his return to Hollywood. The two roles immortalised Quan as a figure synonymous with Hollywood cinema of the time, but in the decade that followed, his acting career somewhat dried up. [Golden Globes](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/film) took place on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, as stars of the big and small screen came together to recognise the most outstanding achievements in TV and film from the past year. [Steven Spielberg](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/steven-spielberg) was named best director for his semi-autobiographical drama, The Fabelmans – which was also named best drama film – while [Game of Thrones](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/game-of-thrones) spin-off House of the Dragon took home the award for best TV drama. The Vietnam-born American actor has had a varied career in the film business. After several years resigned to appearances in music videos and minor screen roles, his final notable performance came alongside Brendan Fraser’s thawed caveman in 1992 comedy Encino Man. The Banshees of Inisherin was the big winner on the night, taking home three awards for best film – musical or comedy, best screenplay, and best actor in a musical or comedy for Irish star Colin Farrell.

Ke Huy Quan hailed Steven Spielberg as the reason behind his Best Supporting Actor award at the Golden Globes.

For now though, many fans have been questioning whether Quan would be up for reprising any of his old roles, and it is certainly something he would consider. As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it, if that was just luck. When I started my career as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I felt so lucky to have been chosen. For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer; no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid. As well as a photograph of the pair making its way online, Quan was given his big break by Spielberg, when he played the role of Short Round in Harrison Ford’s second Indiana Jones adventure.

I love that character so much and it would just be incredible to revisit so many years later.” Considering his popularity right now, and the fact that Harrison Ford will return from the role of Indy following the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the studio would be foolish not to consider it. Receiving praise from both critics and audiences alike for his performance, Ke Huy Quan has quickly become a Hollywood commodity, with Kevin Feige instantly seeing the star-appeal and requesting his presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Appearing on the latest episode of the [Happy Sad Confused podcast](https://www.youtube.com/@JoshHorowitz), the actor revealed that it was Feige who personally called him to see if he would be interested in joining the major comic book movie franchise.

Ke Huy Quan wants to come back on screen as Short Round in Indiana Jones. The Golden Globes winner wants a spin-off for his beloved character.

Once a popular name surely got lost over the time gap of decades, but the return of Ke Huy Quan with a Golden Globes award in possession is surely a testimony to his acting potential. Ke Huy Quan, in a recent interview, mentioned how he still wishes to play the character of Short Round once again in Indiana Jones. The actor opens up about how he never thought of being an actor but still ended up with a role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as a sidekick of the main character. “There was one particular day of shooting, and he found something on set, and he said he saw it and he said, “Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I’m working with Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” And he was so cute and so kind, and I was so excited, and I said, “Oh my god, did anybody get that on tape? Despite the fact that multiple major projects of Quan are in the pipeline, the actor still wants to work in Indiana Jones and wishes to reprise his beloved character of Short Round. The actor who went on a long hiatus after gaining public attention through his work in Indiana Jones and the Temple Doom has no plans for any more breaks ahead.
