Ke Huy Quan Says His $100,000 ‘Indiana Jones’ Residual Check Was ‘Life-Changing’ As a Child Actor: It ‘Didn’t Make Any Sense’

Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan recently received a residuals check of $100,000 for his role in Steven Spielberg's 1984 film "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

Reflecting on the unexpected payment, Quan admitted that he initially did not understand how additional funds could suddenly appear after he had already been compensated for his work on the classic adventure film.
