Nobody really knows what makes a hit TV show.

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.

The first year we actually did a lot of night shooting and the writers weren't even allowed on location.

In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients - timing, chemistry, Hawaii.

Who knows what kind of life I might have had had I not been fortunate enough to have the parents I've had.

Beating the drums for Hawaii is not hard to do... the place just grows on you.
