"Matilda" was Kiami Davael's first major role, and after the film's release, she mostly stuck to guest spots on television. After "Matilda," she guested on "Moesha" and "The Steve Harvey Show," among other programs. Her last acting appearance was in the 2000 comedy "Bruno" opposite Alex D. Linz; since then, she has mostly stepped away from the limelight.
Davael no longer sports those large glasses and the red hair bow that she wore in "Matilda," as can be seen on her frequently updated Instagram account. On the platform, she shares posts about her career as a rising stand-up comedian, as well as pictures of her doting nieces and nephews. Davael is also making her way as a singer and songwriter, model, and writer. Additionally, she's outspoken about her strong Christian faith, which she often discusses on social media. In 2015, she reunited with her "Matilda" co-star Wilson, sharing a cute selfie with her (via Twitter). Even if she's not in front of the camera anymore, Davael is clearly living her best life.
