Kenny Endoso was a stuntman, stunt actor, and second unit director who was born on July 22, 1940 in Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii. Endoso grew up in a small town on the island of Hawaii. Kenny first started performing stunts in films in 1967 and also appeared in acting roles in a handful of movies and TV shows in which he was often cast as a bad guy. In addition, Kenny not only was an avid golfer and a lover of classic cars (his favorite automobile was a red 1967 convertible Camaro), but also coached his son's baseball team and participated in Indian Princess/Charity League activities with his two daughters. Endoso died at age 70 following a six year battle with cancer on August 10, 2010 in Burbank, California.
