Moot’s Mom’s Fresh Spaghetti by Kimee Balmilero

Talented actor and comedian Kimee Balmilero joins us in the kitchen. If her name sounds familiar she has been involved in the Improv comedy scene for years and also a star on Hawaii 5-0 and more recently Magnum P.I. I love Kimee’s energy and positive out look on things and of course her acting abilities on one of the most popular shows in America.

She is a graduate of Castle High School in Kaneohe where theatre and the arts played a significant role in her upbringing.  She was part of Miss Saigon and also part of the cast of Mama Mia in New York City. Her resume is deep and her future is even brighter.
