Last Wednesday we learned that Buffyverse album James Marsters has joined the cast of the revamped CBS TV series Hawaii Five-0 as the arch villain in the pilot episode and today we get to meet the rest of the cast of Five-0. Alex O’Loughlin plays the lead character Steve McGarrett while Scott Caan plays his faithful partner Danny Danno Williams (who will be doing all of the “booking” on the show). Lost alum Daniel Dae Kim has been cast as Detective Chin Ho Kelly and Battlestar Galactica‘s Grace Park will play Kono Kalakaua. Here is a group shot of the principal cast filming scenes for the new TV series on the island of Oahu this week:

As I said before, I vaguely remember this show when it was on the air in re-runs when I was little but I somehow doubt this new version will resemble the original series in any way but the character names. I have to say that I like this cast tho … this group of actors could be the right formula for CBS to make a hit out of this show again. After the jump, check out a few individual photos of the cast on set in Hawaii …

I don’t recall the original Danno being all shirtless when he did the infamous booking on the show but if Scott Caan plans to be shirtless on the show often, I might have to tune in from week to week. I LOVED Grace Park on Battlestar and I really loved O’Loughlin on the failed vampire series Moonlight. I like the cast … we’ll have to see if I end up liking the show.
