Early life and family
Jonathan was born in Vietnamin the city today called Ho Chi Minh, on August 20, 1971.
His birthplace used to be called Saigon, but the name was changed after the fall of Saigon, when the Republic of Vietnam came to an end. It was at this time that Jonathan was born and his parents were given political asylum and moved to the US where Jonathan grew up and got citizenship.
He spent most of his childhood in Tujunga, California and later moved to Alhambra, California, where he completed his high school education. At age 12, when auditions were being held at his school, Jonathan landed the role of “Short Round,” Indiana Jones’ sidekick for the movie “Temple of Doom.”
His brother also auditioned for the same role, but was surpassed by Jonathan. Jonathan has eight siblings, but most details of his personal life have been kept quiet and not much is known about his parents and siblings.
Educational background
Jonathan attended Mount Gleason Junior High in Tujunga, California, and later moved to Alhambra High School and completed high school. After his matriculation, he entered the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. Jonathan was later also admitted to the University of Manchester in England.
During his time on the set of “Indiana Jones”, Jonathan received martial arts training and then continued to train under Tao-Liang Tan.
Career
The 1984 release of “Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom” marked the beginning of Jonathan’s promising career. A year later, he starred as the inventor Richard ‘Data’ Wang in the movie “The Goonies”, and played the part of Sam in the short-lived television series “Together We Stand”.
From there, he played many more roles in international films of Vietnamese, Japanese, and South Korean descent, earning him international recognition as a movie star. These titles include “It Takes a Thief,” in which Jonathan played a young pickpocket, and “Passenger,” a Japanese drama in which he co-starred with Japanese idol Minako Honda. This was in 1987 and should not be confused with the 2005 Japanese film ‘Passenger’. In the early 1990s, he also had television roles including “Head of The Class” and “Tales From The Crypt”.
Continuing his success in showbiz, Jonathan starred in the 1990s as a stunt coordinator in the films “X-Men” and Jet Li’s famous “The One”, among other films and TV series. Today, he continues to add his talent to the film industry, but is mostly seen behind the scenes and during the after-production as both stunt coordinator and stuntman. Among his many accomplishments, one of the most iconic moments may have been working with acclaimed action choreographer Corey Yuen.
