Citation :: Daniel Honoured

Yesterday Daniel Dae Kim, the cast (only him and Alex were able to attend) and crew of Five-0 & CBS were honoured by the Hawaiian legislature for their work for the show on the island.
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Hawaii State Legislature will honor CBS and Hawaii Five-O Thursday for engaging a new era of viewers and showcasing the beauty of the islands as never seen before.

CBS' Hawaii Five-0 took the beloved police procedural drama set in the picturesque backyard of Hawaii, and updated the show's brand appeal with a new generation of fast-paced, high-action, eye-seducing, crime-fighting quartet.

At noon March 31 in the House Chamber, the legislature will honor representatives from CBS, the show's producers, cast and crew on the global success of Season One.

Honorees include Senior Vice President of Current Programming for CBS Glenn Geller, Executive Producer Peter Lenkov, Co-Executive Producer Paul Zbyszewski, Co-Executive Producer and Director Brad Turner, Producer and Co-Unit Production Manager Jeff Downer, cast members Alex O'Loughlin (Steve McGarrett) and Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho Kelly).

"While some may have had their doubts about bringing back this iconic series," said Rep. K. Mark Takai (District 34 - Aiea, Pearl City), "It really was a win-win for everyone involved-especially our local film and television industry. The success of the new series tells other production companies that Hawaii is a good place for film and television ventures."

Shot entirely on-location, Hawaii Five-O has brought the flavors and stunning backdrop of the Hawaiian islands to viewers across the country and the world - in over 200 international markets. Locals here and abroad look forward to new episodes (CBS, Mondays 9 p.m. on KGMB) to spot their favorite hangouts and maybe even their friends and family as extras.

"In the words of the late James MacArthur," Takai said. "I, too, am heartened to see the legacy of this popular cultural icon, preserved and perpetuated in the hands of the terrific people now at the helm."
