Noah’s Arc, The L Word, and the global Drag Race franchise, the actor’s current role on Disney+’s Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. finds him living and working in gorgeous Honolulu, Hawaii for a few months out of the year.But even more than the sun and the sand, what Bowyer-Chapman has most loved about filming on the island of Oahu has been the chance to educate himself on the native Mahu culture, a rich history and community of trans and nonbinary people.In turn, he’s been able to work with the team behind Doogie Kameāloha to weave that culture into the show, which he calls a literal dream come true.“It is the honor of a lifetime to be able to bring to life some of those themes and storylines to this new generation on a Disney show,” Bowyer-Chapman tells us.
