Ke Huy Quan’s Hollywood adventure began when he was twelve years old, five years after his family escaped Communist Northern Vietnam. After attending an open call audition, Ke landed roles in two of the most beloved movies of the ‘80s: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and“The Goonies.” But just a few years later, the roles had dried up and it seemed like Hollywood no longer had a place for him. When he was 49 years old, he finally stepped back in front of the camera to star in a strange little indie film called “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” To call Ke’s Oscar-winning performance a triumphant return would be an understatement. “Never Say Die” is the story of Ke’s extraordinary life and a powerful testament to never giving up on your dreams.
