In addition to his acting, Woolford was a successful filmmaker, having written and directed the praised 2013 indie film The Haumana, which looked at hula and the culture of Hawaii. He had just completed a follow-up script when he died, and was planning auditions for the roles.

“He didn’t pigeon hole me like os many other people in Hollywood did,” said actress Kelly Hu, who had acted in Woolford’s films. “He was a great talent who allowed other talents to shine. I will miss my chosen brother immensely.”

His other credits include The People I’ve Slept With (2012), Godzilla (2014) and Act of Valor (2012). Most recently he played a part in 5th Passenger, which is due out in 2017.
