Hawaii Five-O was a television show that aired on the CBS network from 1968 to 1980, lasting for 12 seasons. The show centered around a fictional police force that solved big crimes around the Hawaii area, and was filmed on location in the state. The show helped popularize the state in the eyes of the mainstream, though some stars of the show felt that it promoted negative Hawaiian stereotypes.

Actor Jack Lord starred on Hawaii Five-O as Steve McGarrett. Steve was a retired naval officer that was recruited by Governor Paul Jameson to lead the police force that the show centered around. Actor Richard Denning played Governor Paul Jameson, and both he and Jack have passed away since appearing on the show.
In addition to Hawaii Five-O popularizing its Hawaii setting, it also offered a vantage point to many native Hawaiian entertainers that might not otherwise have gotten a chance to enter into the mainstream. Such stars included Hawaiian stand-up comedian Zulu, who played the character of Kono Kalakaua over the course of the show’s first four seasons.
Hawaiian musician and actor Moe Keale is another Hawaiian artist that offered his talents to Hawaii Five-O, featuring in a recurring role during the show’s final season. Like Jack and Richard, both Zulu and Moe have passed away since Hawaii Five-O came to an end.
There are many other former cast members of Hawaii Five-O that have passed away since the show aired its final episode. Some of these actors appeared in minor roles, while others appeared in a much larger amount of the show’s many episodes. As with the aforementioned stars, many of these actors also met their end after lending their talents to the show. Join Facts Verse as we explore how each Hawaii Five-O cast member died.

Steve Mc Garrett is my favorite character
Wow , I was 8 years old when H 5 0 started and 20 when it finished, All the actors were my favourite characters, with Jack Lord being up front , remember him when he was in Stoney Burke too… I'm 61 now
Jack Lord..he is Hawaii Five-0.
In private Life..it is said that he was a very good painter and some of his works hang in famous galleries .
Jack Lord was my favorite character.
I would like to thank Lenard Freeman for picking a hit show! , He had tremendous , success with Wild Wild West. Before. Is Lenard Freeman still Alive?
Does anyone out there know what the episode is called that has McGarrett harassing a Hippie man hiking a trail. Unlike other Hawaii Five-O Hippies, this guy really looked like a true long haired hippy with beads, peace sign patches, etc. Also some music that was similar to Led Zeppelin – Battle of Evermore played during a scene from the same show. I have tried to find this episode, all Google does is talk about 2 Doves , and Mr Herron . It's 1 of the few episodes I never watched all the way through. I originally saw it about 25 years ago as a syndicated re run of course. So if that sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. I really liked the song, and would have liked to been able to find out who did the music, but I have had no luck even tracking down the episode, so finding out about the song will be even more difficult
Where did those years go every one of us has to leave this earth we just don't know when or how, the how it's the scary part
🙏🙏🙏
can you say "Retired Naval Officer" again?……btw, many died of heart attacks, stop eating poi!

No mention of Herman Wedemeyer? Other than Jack Lord and Richard Denning, he was the only other cast member who was on the show from beginning to end. In the first episode, "Cocoon", he played a Honolulu police officer named Lt. Balta. From 1968 to 1971 he played various reoccurring roles. In 1971 he officially became Ed "Duke" Lukela full time and stayed as that character until the show ended in 1980. In real life, he was quite an accomplished football player. He died in 1999 at the age of 74.
Jack Lord was all class. Those beautiful suits he wore make the suit wearing people of today look like children.
