The Island is Keeping Daniel Dae Kim
A great article form E Online about how Daniel Dae Kim struck the lottery with his new role in H50:
As evidence that good things do happen to good people (please don’t get me gushing about how throughly awesome DDK is in real life), Daniel pretty much won the lottery today with CBS’ Hawaii Five-O, as it is the one and only series shooting on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, which Dan and his wife and sons have called home now for six years. (And of course, the show is very lucky to have him, too.) This means no uprooting the fam back to the mainland.
Not to mention, CBS’ Hawaii Five-O is from the great minds of Fringe producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who are part of the JJ Abrams family (as was Dan’s previous series, Lost—duh), and the show is already getting substantial buzz and rave reviews from those who’ve seen it.
