Cheryl Ponders The Lesser-Known Lab-Rats of Hawaii Five-0

Has anybody but me noticed how quickly the lab rats of Hawaii Five-0 scurry away? First, there was the eccentric Dr. Max Bergman (played by Masi Oka), who, in his debut as Chief Medical Examiner in Episode 19 of Season One [“Ne Me’e Laua Na Paio” (Heroes and Villains)], showed off his skill as a musical prodigy on the piano and his penchant for avoiding eye contact.  Bergman had quite an interesting character arc, with a thing for Keanu Reeves

Learning more about HAWAII FIVE-0’s Christopher Sean (Pt. 3)

Though Gabriel Waincroft is an interesting topic, in Part Three of our exclusive, I focus on Christopher Sean, the actor. Tell me a little bit about your company, Between the Lines. My friend, John Gearries, and I formed that company to make some silly movies, and we did.  We had a good time making projects, and now I’ve actually got another production company.  The general idea of this new company is to create intellectual properties, continue to create content, and

Christopher Sean Talks “Do or Die” Time for Gabriel on HAWAII FIVE-0 (Pt. 2)

Part Two of the Christopher Sean trilogy here at mytakeontv speaks volumes, yet leaves us mystified! Are you able to add any personality traits to Gabriel or is it all kind of scripted? (laughs) Actually, it’s great.  Bryan Spicer is an amazing director   Many times, I’ll talk to Bryan and say, ‘you know’ and suggest some things here and there.  But, it’s ultimately the writers’ medium.  Whatever they write, I will do.  But, I always try to put a little

Christopher Sean Talks HAWAII FIVE-0 (Pt. 1)

Christopher Sean (Gabriel Waincroft) teases something big is coming on this week’s Hawaii Five-0 when he joins me for an exclusive interview that’s so juicy we’re splitting it into three parts. Gabriel is a big drug lord, and he’s taking revenge against Adam for beating up his partner. Given this, though, do you think that part of the reason he antagonizes Adam and Kono is that Kono is Chin’s cousin? I think Gabriel, as raging bull as he may seem,

Trouble in Paradise Opens Sixth Red-Carpet Premiere of HAWAII FIVE-0

Hawaii Five-0’s red-carpet Season Six premiere did not go off without a hitch as in previous years.  In fact, it was only by God’s grace that the premiere happened at all.  As Executive Producer Peter Lenkov confirmed to an eager crowd, God answered prayers and held back the rain, which had been drenching Oahu for days and, at premier time, appeared to be everywhere except Waikiki.  It was a beautiful night on the beach as press awaited celebrity arrivals. Evolving

Hawaii Five-0 Location Scouting (and Teasing Season Six) with Timmy Chinn, Part II

When we left Chinn in Part I, he was scouting for locations for Season Six of Hawaii Five-0. In the first episode of that upcoming season, Chinn teased, “They (the writers and producers) wrote the script a certain way for a certain location. We could have used that location, but it simply didn’t work, so it was rewritten from one location to another. I can’t tell you where they are, but it’s not particularly uncommon for certain initial locations not

HAWAII FIVE-0 Location Scouting with Timmy Chinn, Pt. 1

Ever scout for TV series film locations while on vacation?  I never have, but thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the tourist spots as well as off-the-grid locations of Hawaii Five-0 episodes.   Sightseeing with Chinn Timmy Chinn, Locations Manager, has quite an arsenal of stories at the ready, and I asked him to share some sites, particularly those used In Season Five.  One very well-known spot, Diamond Head Crater, has been the site

Peter Lenkov talks HAWAII FIVE-0’s Season Finale

As Hawaii Five-0 rides the wave into the Season Five sunset, I chat via email with Executive Producer Peter Lenkov to catch a glimpse of what viewers might expect as the next big cliffhanger looms. James Bond-esque Ending Though Lenkov prefers to play his cards close to the vest, he confirms with mytakeontv that Kono is in fact getting married. “But we have some major surprises in store,” he’s quick to add, “some character, some plot. What I can tell

Saber Ops: Military Advisors to HAWAII FIVE-0 and Beyond

How cool is it to watch McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) singlehandedly gun down bad guys each week on Hawaii Five-0 with his weapon of choice? Pretty cool, huh? I think so too. That’s why I made no hesitation when my chance came along to talk with a member of the Saber Ops team.   After all, Saber Ops is the military advisor team who gets all the credit for that larger-than-life motion- picture feel on Five-0’s Season One. I’m chatting with David
