Frankly - and believe me, I say this without any pretense - when I see the road I've taken, I have to say that thanks to good luck, because without good luck one can do nothing, I've come out pretty well.

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.

My idea of going to hell is going somewhere where there are no books.

But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today.

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

I got into the acting business very young.

Some people say Hawaii is spoiled, but I don't think so. It's modern. It's a part of today's world.
