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.

Den of Geek just posted an exclusive interview with veteran Star Trek actor William Morgan Sheppard, in which he reveals that he has a small role in the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie.
Sheppard is a British actor who already played three characters in Star Trek - Doctor Ira Graves in the second season TNG episode "The Schizoid Man", a Klingon Commander in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country and an alien named Qatai in the Star Trek Voyager episode "Bliss". Here are few excerpts of the interview.
You have a long and continuing association with Star Trek, even up until recent weeks, you were saying?
Yes, just did the J.J. Abrams one. Can't say anything about that obviously.
You can't say anything at all?
No I can't, and you damn well know it [laughs]! But yeah, I'm only playing a very small part.
Is it a repeat of any role you have played previously?
No, I will say that much, definitely not. In fact I am playing a different race, I've done Klingons...actually, I am going to be judging as a Klingon, though I won't be dressing up as one for it, at one of those big conventions up in Maryland. That one's in July, and they want me to go. It's a Klingon convention. Can you believe it?
Just for Klingons?
It seems to be, yes. But I thought the Star Trek ones were apparently coming to an end. I am in at the tail end of it. I only started doing it towards the end of last year, and this year they have booked me for about four different things. I am coming over to do some, with my son.
The full interview is here.

Let's not forget Mr. Sheppard's most memorable role (IMHO anyway) as Black Reg on Max Headroom.
If there was ever a show that is long overdue for DVD release, that would be it.

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)

I can safely say, that to know him, is to love him. And to love him, is to know him.
Those who know him, love him, while those who don't know him, love him from afar.
