Gorgeous Lost star Daniel Dae Kim is to star in the remake of 1960s police TV series Hawaii Five-O, according to reports.This show used annoy me (Until I moved away), because I practically grew up in Hawaii during the 90's and felt the show was a grossly homogenized 'mainland' view of the islands (Which are predominantly of Asian ancestory).
Last recalled, the police drama starring Jack Lord as Steve McGarret and most of the other lead characters, baddies, supporting cast, and love interests of the original '5-0' were all sadly not Asian. My suggestion to writers Kurtzman & Orci (Fringe, Transformers) is to step outside of the box and maintain influence on the casting decisions of this modern "Re-imagined" 21st Century version of the show. Let's have a layer of diversity in the main/lead characters that accurately reflects the culture this time. Oh, and keep the theme song...
