From spending a year in a Hong Kong refugee camp through to being acHollywood success, we take a closer look at Ke Huy Quan's incredible journey to his historic Oscars success
Ke Huy Quan left the Oscars audience and viewers at home in floods of tears with his winners speech on Sunday night, as he made Hollywood history by becoming the first ever Asian man to take home the Best Supporting Actor Award.
Quan continued: “My journey started on a boat, I spent a year in a refugee camp and somehow I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage. “To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you so much for welcoming me back, I love you.”Early Years Born in 1971 in Vietnam to Chinese parents, Quan didn’t have the easiest start in life, as he was born at the height of the Vietnam war.
Breakout Role At the tender age of 12, Ke got his first big break, starring alongside Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones sequel: Temple of Doom. He also turned his attention to roles behind the camera rather than in front of it before deciding to formally quit acting in 1998 in order to attend the University of Southern California’s famed film school.
