Doogie Howser Reboot Adds Mulan Star Jason Scott Lee
Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., is getting starting to come together. Earlier this month it was reported that
Mulan star Jason Scott Lee has signed on to play the titular character's father, Benny Kameāloha.
I Am Not Okay With This' Kathleen Rose Perkins will play Lahela's mother, Dr. Clara Hannon, according to
The Wrap. Lee recently starred in Disney's live-action
Mulan as the villain Bori Khan.
The 10-episode series will be set in Hawaii and follows Lahela "Doogie" Kameāloha, a mixed-race 16-year-old girl who is juggling both a medical career as well as life as a teenager. Lahela's family will play a major role in the series with her mother (Perkins) also being her supervisor at the hospital she works at while her Hawaiian "Local Boy" father (Lee) attempts to come to terms with the fact that his daughter is growing up.
