JeanSmart, an Emmy winner for "Frasier" and "Samantha Who?" and two-time nominee for "24," will play the governor of Hawaii in CBS' "Hawaii Five-O" remake.

ALEX O'LOUGHLIN TO STAR IN "HAWAII FIVE-O

Released by Miss TV Girl

Alex O'Loughlin has been cast in the lead role of the CBS remake "Hawaii F-O" as Steve McGarrett.  I guess CBS still  has a lot of faith in the actor, this will be his third series with the network. 

O'Loughlin previous series "Moonlight" and "Three River" failed to find an audience and were cancelled after one season. 

I am a big fan of his and would love to see him in a series that will garner a large fan base and stick around a little longer than one season.

I know that I will be tuning in to see this "Hawaii Five-O" remake from "Fringe" co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and "CSI:NY executive producer/co showrunner Peter Lenkov.

O'Loughlin will join recently cast "Lost" co-star Daniel Dae Kim, who will play Detective Chin Ho Kelly.
