Brimming with charisma and daring energy, Native American and Latin actor-stuntman Skyler Bible lights up the screen as Agent Foster; Cobra Bubbles’ sharp-witted right-hand man in Disney’s newly released live-action 'LILO & STITCH'. 

Filmed amid the vibrant landscapes of Oahu, Hawaii, the film reimagines the beloved 2002 classic with a star-studded cast including Zach Galifianakis, Courtney B. Vance, Billy Magnussen, and Maia Kealoha. 

As Skyler’s star continues to rise, he’s also gearing up for exciting roles in the upcoming comedy-drama 'See You When I See You' directed by Jay Duplas, and the indie-thriller 'Grizzly Night' directed by Burke Doeren.

We talk to Bible regarding his exciting involvement in LILO & STITCH, what it was like getting to represent his beautiful culture and heritage on such a global scale, his creative process, as well as what fans can expect next from him! 

Hi there Skyler. Thank you for joining us on ReVamp! How are you doing and how has 2025 been like for you?

I’m doing well, thank you for having me! 2025 has been a whirlwind in the best way! Tons of meaningful projects, festivals, and a deeper sense of purpose both personally and professionally.

Let’s obviously begin our conversation with the mention of your phenomenal performance in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch.” Can you talk to me more about how the initial audition process went for your character and what were your first impressions regarding Agent Foster?

The audition came through like any other, a self-tape but I definitely added my own spin of goofiness to him. He wasn’t in the original, so I saw a real opportunity to help shape him and make him my own! 

How did you approach embodying the subtle humor of a character who walks the line between federal duty and the chaotic heart of an intergalactic chase?

I leaned into the goofiness of Foster with a by-the-book energy I thought would ground him, making him the straight man next to Courtney which in turn would hopefully make the chaos feel funnier. 

Did filming in Oahu and working with Courtney B. Vance and Maia Kealoha influence your performance and connection to the original story’s legacy?

Absolutely. Being in Oahu grounded the entire experience with a cultural and emotional authenticity you can’t fake and watching Courtney was like getting a masterclass every day. Also, it just implanted us into the scene even more so than if not on location. I wasn't able to work with Maia unfortunately but overall, I was so excited to share the scene with Courtney, who brought such a refreshing take on his character. 

How does a film like “Lilo & Stitch”, rooted in nostalgia and emotion, challenge you differently than your darker or more serious roles?

It is such a light and goofy film, that you definitely have to steer into being grounded, and I think that elevates the comedy. It was very different than other, darker roles, and I was so grateful for that experience to explore a different tone of character. 

What did it mean to you as a Native American and Latin actor to bring an original character into such a globally beloved story?

It meant a lot. To create something new within a legacy like this, while bringing my background to the table, felt like I was contributing to a more inclusive future of storytelling — one where kids and adults alike can see themselves and relate to the character. 

Having shared the project with David Hekili Kenui Bell, is there anything you’d like to say about him or a memory you shared off-set?

I unfortunately wasn't able to work with David, but I can attest to his impact of his character to those around him. 

How are you navigating the shift between large-scale productions and more intimate indie projects like “See You When I See You” and “Grizzly Night”? Any themes or genres you want to explore next?

I love the scale and spectacle of big studio films, but I also love the closeness and exploration that happens on an indie set. I would love to explore more horror genres and play in/with those worlds. 

How do your philanthropic values shape the roles you choose and the stories you tell?

I gravitate toward stories that explore connection, identity, and cultural roots. If I’m going to put energy into something, I want it to reflect the kind of world I would want to live in. 

Lastly, what’s next for you, and is there a message you want to share with fans and readers?

Right now, I’m in pre-production on a film I'm playing a villain in, and I'm very stoked about that. A different character I haven't taken on before. A Jay Duplass movie I'm in is also in post-production currently and should come out this year as well! I would say find your people, your friends, make everything with them, laugh, create, and keep creating, it's the best life ever.
