Hawaii Five-O centers on a fictional state police force of the same name - in honor of Hawaii's status as the 50th State - led by former Navy officer Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord). Hawaii Five-O aired from September 1968 to April 1980. (Up until recently, it was the longest continuous-running police series in U.S. television history.) With few exceptions, it was filmed entirely on location in Hawaii. Its fans list the authenticity and beauty of the scenery as its number one draw; second come the actors and the characters they portrayed. Another attraction is the intelligent writing and intriguing plots of the series, and its wonderful title theme and incidental music. Its authenticity was further enhanced by the use of many local Island residents in guest roles, which for some led to further roles in other series. Jack Lord, head of an elite state police unit investigating "organized crime, murder, assassination attempts, foreign agents, felonies of every type." James MacArthur played his second-in-command Danny ("Danno") Williams, with numerous local actors playing members of the Five-O team. McGarrett's nemesis, the evil Wo Fat — "a Red Chinese agent in charge of the entire Pacific Asiatic theatre" — was played by Khigh Diegh. The series was famous for the stellar guest actors who appeared in episodes, including Helen Hayes, Ricardo Montalban, Leslie Nielsen, Herbert Lom, Hume Cronyn, and many more.
