Never Say Die

A stunning memoir from the Oscar-winning star of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies, and Everything Everywhere All at Once
From fleeing war-torn Vietnam to winning an Academy Award in his fifties, Ke Huy Quan's life has been nothing short of cinematic; a sweeping adventure so improbable, it could be mistaken for fiction.

In this stunning and compulsively readable memoir, the Oscar-winning star of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies and Everything Everywhere All At Once, Ke Huy-Quan, tells the story of his journey from Vietnamese refugee to 80s child star to the most inspiring comeback in Hollywood history.

'A triumph of storytelling' - OCEAN VUONG
'A perfect encapsulation of the American dream' - SIM LIU
'Ke has never lost his immense curiosity and heart, and this memoir has lashings of both' - CATE BLANCHETT
'Ke Huy Quan conquered Hollywood and now in Never Say Die he will conquer many hearts as well' - VIET THANH NGUYEN

Ke Huy Quan's Hollywood adventure began when he was twelve years old, a mere five years after his family escaped Communist Northern Vietnam. After attending an open call audition on a whim, he was unexpectedly swept up in the wild world of filmmaking: learning to swim from Harrison Ford on the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, receiving trucks full of toys from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for his birthday, meeting Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, and making lifelong friends on the set of The Goonies.

A star of two of the biggest hit movies of the 80s, it seemed like there were no limits to Ke's rise. But just a few years later, the roles had dried up and it seemed like Hollywood no longer had a place for him. It wasn't until decades later, when he was 49 years old, that he stepped back in front of the camera to star in a strange little indie film called Everything Everywhere All at Once, which surprised everyone when it became one of the biggest movies of the year.

Never Say Die is the story of Ke's extraordinary life, a love letter to the movies and people that shaped him, and a powerful testament to never giving up on your dreams.
