He was the first Korean American film actor to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ahn's first film was A Scream in the Night in 1935. He appeared in the Bing Crosby film Anything Goes, though director Lewis Milestone had initially rejected him because his English was too good for the part.

He starred opposite Anna May Wong in Daughter of Shanghai (1937) and King of Chinatown (1937).
