The Rolex ad in the March 23 issue (that's how far behind I am  ::) ):

I immediately recognized Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, and Leonardo di Caprio, but who are the young woman and the Asian gentleman? (The shape of his face is wrong for Ang Lee--I checked.)

The woman is Zendaya who is everywhere these days and the Asian man is Ke Huy Quan (sometimes called Jonathan Ke Quan) who is 54 now but first found fame as a child actor at 12 years old. Anybody remember what role he played?

Thanks, FRiend!

Now that I know who the gentleman is, I remember hearing about him within the past year. He was Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," and he received an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor in "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

(I verified this through IMDb. Your mention of him as a child actor clued me in.)
