I don't think anyone connected with Five-O believed the show would last as long as it did.
My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing.
Fortunately, I've also been an electrician, and that's a happy memory for me.
Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we'd never hoped for!
But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today.
You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.
