 And after four years, I thoroughly enjoy Hawaii and the success of the show. |
| I got into the acting business very young. |
| When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors. |
| I am happy to have now as Danny finally a more difficult role, in which I can shoot and fight. |
| I give a percentage of the earnings to the Motion Picture Home. |
| I thought even if the show only lasted a year, it would be fun. |
| A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs. |
| Some people say Hawaii is spoiled, but I don't think so. It's modern. It's a part of today's world. |
| You should hear the guy who dubs me in Japan. I like him the most. He has a high squeaky voice. |
| It was an hour of sanity with the good guys winning, a situation where the world was right side up. |
| In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients - timing, chemistry, Hawaii. |
| The first year we actually did a lot of night shooting and the writers weren't even allowed on location. |
| But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today. |
| My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing. |
| I just sold a farm in Missouri, and I own a ski lodge in Colorado with some Honolulu partners. |
| And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing. |
| We were living in a tumultuous time, when the world was upside down. Freeman produced a show that was black and white, the good guys versus the bad guys. |
| Who knows what kind of life I might have had had I not been fortunate enough to have the parents I've had. |
| It's sometimes unnerving to think of that, and I wish it were possible for all children in the world to have the good fortune I've had in having a giving and loving family. |
| Fortunately, I've also been an electrician, and that's a happy memory for me. |
