‘Lilo & Stitch’ Actor David Hekili Kenui Bell Dies
David Hekili Kenui Bell, the actor best known for his recent turn in Disney's live-action 'Lilo & Stitch', has died, his sister announced online.
According to his IMDb Pro page, he was in post-production for The Wrecking Crew, a forthcoming Amazon MGM Studios action-comedy starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa as two polar-opposite half-brothers who must work together to unravel the conspiracy behind their father’s murder in Hawaii. In this year’s live-action adaptation of the 2002 animated family-comedy classic, Bell portrays a stand-in of sorts to the white tourist character who drops his mint chocolate chip ice cream repeatedly, unable to eat it. 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.”
