Kai went from a side character to someone we want to protect at all costs. Who plays him in The White Lotus? Here’s everything to know about actor Kekoa Kekumano.
Spoilers ahead if you are not caught up on all episodes of The White Lotus.
In the HBO satire comedy, Kai was introduced as an employee at The White Lotus hotel who took interest in Paula, Olivia Mossbacher’s friend. The two began to sneak out at night because Paula didn’t want Olivia to find out about them.
Unfortunately, Olivia finds out and isn’t happy about Paula‘s secret. We begin to see why Paula keeps things from Olivia and that the friendship isn’t what it seemed.
After The White Lotus episode 5, however, we are all worried about Kai. Paula gave Kai the passcode to the safe in the Mossbacher’s room and told Kai the room would be empty for a large part of the day. Kai was reluctant at first, but agrees to it. Sadly, things don’t go according to plan.
Kai manages to leave the hotel running, but he isn’t in the clear just yet. What will happen to Kai? Will he be caught? If he is, will he tell authorities that Paula helped him with the information?
We’ll have to watch the series finale, episode 6, to find out! In the meantime, where else can you see Kekoa Kekumano, the actor who plays Kai?
