Guiding Lahela (and also complicating things) is her family, including her spit-fire Irish mother called Dr. Clara Hannon, who’s also her supervisor at the hospital, and her Hawaiian “Local Boy” father called Benny, who is struggling to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.
Deadline is reporting that Jason Scott Lee will be playing the role of Doogie’s father Benny Kameāloh.
