#4. Short Round was an accidental casting.

Jonathan Ke Quan (aka Short Round) wasn’t even supposed to audition.

“I had never been on a movie set. My brother went to the open call for Short Round so I tagged along, and the casting director asked me to read for him. I couldn’t even pronounce the words. The next day we got a call from Steven’s office.”

Lucky us, right? Because Spielberg went on to cast Quan in The Goonies, and without that, my friends, we never would have had the delight of seeing Data trying out his ‘slick shoes’ or accidentally punching himself in the face with a go-go-gadget boxing glove.
