David Hekili Kenui Bell, an actor who recently appeared in the “Lilo & Stitch” live-action remake as well as in shows like “Magnum P.I.” and “Hawaii Five-0,” has died. He played a character named Big Hawaiian Dude who comedically drops his shaved ice dessert at the sight of an alien portal. “He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgen to da Max…made him a diamond in the rough 💎 You can hear him over the PA system on arrival at Kona Airport where he loved working to create an awesome and safe customer experience.”
