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.

DreamWatch Total Sci Fi posted an exclusive interview with Battlestar Galactica executive producer Ronald D. Moore, plus cast members Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer and Lucy Lawless. Here are few excerpts of the article. Beware of minor spoilers.
Will the identity of the fifth and final Cylon be something you reveal early in the fourth season?
Ron Moore It will be late in the season, it won't be in the first half.
How has the news of this being the final season affected the way you are writing stories? Are there any storylines that you have found you've had to get rid of?
Ron Moore We always end up creating more things than we can use. The longer we talk in the writers' room, the more tangents we can spin off of for a long time. It's always about paring down to what is the actual show.
The fact that it's the final season just means that we are really focusing on each episode and we don't have any room for an episode that doesn't work. There is a more intense focus and I feel that from the writing staff and the cast, who are very involved in the stories this year. You can just feel that there is a different vibe in Vancouver that this is it and everybody really wants to go out strong.
How did it come about that Lucy's supposedly dead character, D'Anna Biers, would return for the final season?
Lucy Lawless Well, Ron called me and said, "We're bringing you back..."
Ron Moore The story has to do with ‘un-boxing' D'Anna. There are a lot of people that are very interested in un-boxing D'Anna because she knows certain things and there is a long plot that culminates in what she reveals. It's a pivot point for the upcoming season. Once that happens, things change and drive us to the finale.
After the end of this series is there a chance that there could be new direct-to-DVD releases like other retired series (Stargate, Dead Like Me) are doing?
Ron Moore We'll see. It's possible that we could do more after [Razor], but there are no plans in the works for it. There is a practical limitation because at some point we will strike the sets and they will go away, so it will be very difficult to rebuild Galactica just to do a one-off movie in the future.
