In the mid-fifties, West accepted an offer from a friend to move to Hawaii. That was when he kicked off his career in show business as a presenter on The Kini Popo Show.

With his co-host Peaches, a chimpanzee, West caught the eye of a Hollywood producer, which led to the actor signing a contract with Warner Bros. Studios.
