Feb 08 | While his "Lost" co-stars prepare to pack up and leave Hawaii, Daniel Dae Kim can plan to remain there for at least a few more months. Mr. Kim, who plays the time-traveling tough guy Jin on "Lost," has been the first actor cast in a coming remake of the crime drama "Hawaii Five-O," The Hollywood Reporter said. He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968.

Leonard Nimoy got a standing ovation as he walked into University of Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall last Thursday for a talk on celebrating 40 years of Star Trek. The Beacon Journal covered the event which launched the second annual Akron Reading Festival.
For an hour, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, who grew up in Boston, recounted a seven-decade career, focusing extensively on his work as a director, photographer, and poet.
At a news conference prior to his speech, Nimoy was told that the remastered Original Series included CGI images with new detail. "Shame on them," Nimoy said, noting that content change was out of bounds. After viewing a Star Trek news release that describes the updates, he said, "I'm amazed."
Nimoy seems willing to come out of retirement as an actor to again play Spock. "I haven't been asked," he reported. "If they asked me, and I thought I could be helpful, I would be there.
"If I thought they had a project of merit," he adds.
See the Beacon Journal article for additional information.
While Nimoy was in Ohio, his friend William Shatner was in British Columbia, playing host to the first annual Canadian Awards for the Electronic and Animated Arts (CAEAA).
ET Canada correspondent Erin Cebula was on the red carpet to query Kirk about Star Trek: Legacy. "Five captains," enthuses Shatner, "but it's 'Game Over' for me, all the time. I just can't play a [computer] game."
When cajoled about who'd be playing Kirk in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie, Shatner winked, "I thought I'd be playing me!" Not that he has auditioned yet. "I don't do a good me."
Just how did Shatner celebrate Star Trek's big Four-O?
"I danced the night away."
The full 2-minute video segment from ET Canada, posted at VRRRM, includes comments from George Takei, and the return of Shatner's celebrity kidney stone.
Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20) DVD is on sale now in the U.S.A. and Canada.
The SPACE channel also caught Shatner at the CAEAA gig.
