Henry Kingi, actor and stuntman

 

Henry Kingi has been an actor and stuntman for over 20 years. Kingi is rumored to be of Cherokee, African American, and White heritage. His appearance as Goody in Carwash was followed by numerous films.

 

Henry Kingi met Lindsay Wagner on the set of Bionic Woman, and was married to her from 1981-84. They had two sons: Dorian Henry Kingi (b.9/25/82) and Alex Nathan Kingi (b.9/7/86).  His son Dorian is an actor/stuntsman. Another son from a previous union, Henry Kingi Jr., who was born in 1970, is also a stuntman.

Navy Blue Lapis Horsehair Dreamcatcher


I got the most beautiful Dreamcatcher from you on June 20th, 2010. I had fun selecting which color beads would be used and am completely satisfied with it! The website is easy to navigate, ordering was a simple task and a place was provided on the ordering form to make requests on how I wanted it done. Even during the creation of my Dreamcatcher I was sent emails notifying me of the progress on it, asking if I had other specifications so that it would be custom made just for me. I LOVE it! The whole process was completely satisfying and my Dreamcatcher came quickly in the mail, just as promised! If it weren't for hard times financially I would definitely buy more from this company. Thank you, AAA Native Arts Gallery!
