Kea Ho
Kea Ho is a Hawaiian-born actress, model, and producer known for her striking screen presence and her roots in a legendary entertainment family. Born in Honolulu, she is the daughter of the iconic Hawaiian superstar Don Ho and began her career on stage at the age of four, performing alongside her father. She later moved to Los Angeles to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and trained in method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City. Ho first gained significant attention as a model, appearing in international editions of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Marie Claire, and was once named the "most international model ever" by Maxim due to her diverse heritage, which includes Chinese, Hawaiian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Mexican descent. Her acting career includes a mix of independent films and high-profile projects, such as her role as the femme fatale Xiomara in the thriller Urge (2016), which she also co-produced, and appearances in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) and the drama Junction (2024). In early 2026, she reached a new career milestone with her role as Nurse Alexis in the psychological thriller Sleepwalker. In the film, her character serves as a pivotal figure in the medical facility where Sarah’s husband is treated, often appearing in the surreal, blurred sequences between Sarah’s waking life and her nightmares.
