An aloha message from the 'Five-0' gang
By Wayne Harada
On the morning (May 14) of the finale of season two finale, the cast of CBS' “Hawaii Five-0” has posted an online video to bid fans a fond aloha.
Taped on the final day of filming, the brief behind-the-scenes clip includes kibitzing, lei, hugs, even skateboarding.
The excerpted aloha messages:
Alex O’Loughlin (Steve McGarrett): “This is our last night on season two, it’s my last scene. We’re all really happy to finish up and have a summer break. We’re also stoked for coming back in season three.”
Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho Kelly): “It’s been a crazy wild ride. What we’re shooting now, I think you guys are gonna get a kick of. Thanks for watching, thanks for following ... Aloha.
Grace Park (Kono Kalakaua): “I want to thank everybody for watching. Hawaii is an amazing place, as you can tell.”
Scott Caan (Danno Williams): “I hope you keep watching. See you next year.”
The final episode airs at 9 p.m. (10 p.m. Mainland).

No matter how you feel about the show, this is really nice of the stars to do this for people...whether they are fans or not. If you know anything about past productions here in Hawaii, you would know that it would have been very difficult to get the main actors to do something like this unless they received some sort of extra incentive pay. The attitudes of Alex, Daniel, Grace and Scott are refreshing among Hollywood-type actors.

Being one of their biggest critics, I agree that this was a class act among the major stars in this version of 5-0.
Wishing all of them the very best as we look forward to next season. Cheers!!

What 5-0 needs is better writing and MORE "local" actors aside from the "big guy"...What made the old series GREAT was some of the local actors such as Zulu, Harrington, and "Chin Ho".

Too bad one character gets knocked off, but I hope that there will be more opportunities for local actors in the "good guys" roles (ie. re-occurring ones). So long Masi Oka!

Yes, I agree with so many others that Five-O needs to have more locals in the shows and more island themes to the stories to make it different from the other cop shows and more inviting to the mainland audience and local audience. Maybe even another time slot would help the ratings.
