“And this dude [Alex]. I cannot tell you how deeply appreciative I am that you welcomed me on this show, early on.  You’re a Rockstar. We love you and have great affection for you, as a man and as an actor. You f@cking rock man.”– Chi McBride, Speech at celebration of 200th episode, Sept 2018

Picture from #HawaiiFive0 Episode 9:07 – Broadcast on 9 Nov. 2018

“Alex is a very close friend of mine. He’s a wonderful human being. He’s a good father, he’s a good husband, he’s a good actor, he’s a good friend. He was actually part owner of this company [Trident Adventures] for a while too. He’s just a good .. good  person.” – Steve Kaplan, Long Ku Podcast, 5 March 2022

“We live in this INSANE world, of like instant gratification. The desperate sort of desire for immediacy in everything, is wild, you know. That’s why I don’t do social media.” – Alex O’Loughlin, InfernoCast podcast, May 2020

“They filmed Hawaii Five-0 at my house and I met this very nice man on the way out for a potty break. I didn’t know who he was but I gave him the sniff test and he passed! Now I’m a fan.” –  Armando, Instagram, 20 Oct 2018

It’s funny, you get 200 episodes in, and that’s something you can only understand if you’ve done 200 episodes of television. It’s a LOT, of television. And we sort of all just got there and … “Oh my god! We’re alive. We made it”. – Alex O’Loughlin, ET Canada, 23 March 2019

“He [Peter Lenkov] has the capacity for something that not a lot of people do. And that is to produce original content, even though they’re reboots … it’s still original content. ‘Cos they’re all very different. But just in perpetuity – It doesn’t stop. I don’t know when he sleeps? But it’s pretty incredible.” – Alex O’Loughlin, ET Canada, 23 March 2019

“I’m more open to continuing on than I was when we spoke a couple years ago. It’s a hard question to answer at the end of the season. I’m literally shooting episode 25 right now, and it happens to be episode 193 as well. All I want to do is collapse into my hiatus and go to bed for a couple weeks, but I am open to doing another couple of years. Hopefully we can make a deal.” – Alex O’Loughlin, Entertainment Weekly,

“There is such a thing as character fatigue. And at times it kind of can creep in. That has nothing to do with anything other than me and me inhibiting this dude for so long. But yeah, you got to find ways to make it fresh. You got to find ways to sort of show up and shake it off.” – Alex O’Loughlin, SOTB, 2018

“I’ve worked with Alex (O’Loughlin) mainly, and you can tell he really cares about the show because he doesn’t miss a beat. He notices every little detail. And he’s always down to take the time to get the scene right– he will guide you through it if he needs to– he makes everything really cool and professional at the same time.” – Kimee Balmilero, Star Advertiser, 26 November 2016

“I am often asked which is my most favorite actor, I have worked with … by far, for his integrity, his leadership, his heart he wears in his sleeve, his love & respect for his wife & children & personally for his mad styling skills… no other than Mr. Alex O’Loughlin” – Tena Parker (hairstylist),  16 October 2018, Instagram

“What I do remember is that we laughed together, constantly. Both of us share a wicked sense of humour. I miss working with him so much. He has been my favourite co-star of my career. I love him like family. Happens rarely. He is one of a kind.” – Sophia Myles, Twitter, 13 Dec 2021

Day186

(Pic 186/240)

“I’ve wanted to direct for a while, but there were a couple of things that made it possible. My schedule as an actor on this show has progressively gotten a little better over time; [previously] I’ve sort of been in everything all the time and not had any days off to even think, let alone prep an episode and direct. Even this season it was cutting it kind of fine; most people get a week to prep-and-scout and do all this stuff, while I had two days. But it’s definitely something I’ve wanted to do the whole time and I’m really glad I did.” – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, 27 March 2018

“It’s weird to talk about being a director. I’ve done one episode of my own show, that I’m very comfortable on and fully supported by every single crew member. Part of my head is saying to me, “You’re not a director yet.” I just needed to qualify that! – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, March 2018

“I care about story, man. I care about the human journey. To have these amazing actors give me the encouragement [as director] to be a part of what they’re doing, to help them make choices, that was really, really amazing and very fulfilling.” – Alex O’Loughlin, ET, 28 March 2018

“[As director] I loved being the master and commander of every moving part. I love painting the picture. I got to detail the scenes. I got to build the set and choose the paint colors, and say “Hey, can we get one of these? And do this? And can it do this? And can it make a little sound?” That was a lot of fun being the architect of everything visceral in the story, all the tangible stuff. But working with the people was the greatest part.” – Alex O’Loughlin, CBS – interview

“I didn’t come in to this [as director] trying to reinvent the wheel. I didn’t want to try to make a different show. I wanted to make Hawaii Five-0. I just wanted to tell the story truthfully.” – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, March 2018

“It’s a great show and a lot of people love it, but more importantly, we keep so many people employed in Hawaii who might otherwise be stacking boxes at a grocery mart. It’s hard to get work out here and this feeds a lot of families, so it’s a really good thing. It’s really, really important. I’m sure there are [actors] that don’t let that affect them, it’s not part of their negotiation, but it is something I think about. I come from a working-class family and the people I work with mean a lot to me. They’re really our ohana, so… if  we can make it all work, they are some of the reasons why it would be great.” – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, March 2018

(Question: Could there be a situation where former stars Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park returned at some point for a final farewell? Has there been any internal talk about that?)

“I haven’t listened to any talk about any of that stuff. All I know is they left and we got two new fantastic young actors who want to be here. It’s sort of made a massive difference on the show. We had a long relationship with those other guys and they decided they didn’t want to be here anymore and now we’ve got two people who want to be here. I don’t know what it’s like on the outside and I don’t read all the news either, but from the inside, it’s been a charming adjustment. That’s probably part of why I’m more open to coming back as well.” – Alex O’Loughlin, ET, March 2018

“This season has been more of an easy-peasy McGarrett. He still misses his dad, and the thing with Doris still hasn’t totally left him. But it’s not all like, “Argh! I’ve got to save the world!” – Alex O’Loughlin, CBS Watch, 2017

“I blew one of my knees, I’ve torn ligaments and tendons, ankles and both shoulders both wrists. I’ve knocked my front teeth out. I’ve got fake front teeth. I tore my right shoulder to pieces – three external tears, a labrum tear, and a detachment of the bicep tendon. My current favourite injury is two herniated disks in my lower lumbar, which I am receiving stem cell treatment for to avoid surgery.” – Alex O’Loughlin, CBS Watch, 2017

“The spinal injury I had, like even two years ago I could still barely move. It was just impossible. I was like, ‘There’s no way I can keep working like this. I can’t force that at all.’ I got in a stem cell trial, and I’ve got all these stem cells in my back, and I built a rehab gym in my garage, and I’ve been doing lots of workouts the last couple years, and I feel physically a lot better.” – Alex O’Loughlin, Entertainment Weekly, 22 March 2018

“[Five-0] is an action show, I’m the main guy, and I defy anybody to do what I’ve done for as long I’ve done it and hold out the way I have. I was a fit, strong, healthy guy when I started the show, and I still am, but you sustain what you sustain.” – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, 22 March 2018

“To be honest with you, mate, if you had asked me [about re-signing] two years ago, my answer would have been, like, ‘No f’–king way.’ I want a quality of life, and I want to be with my family. But since then, I’ve been able to put Humpty together again. I am still very tired at the end of the season, and after almost 200 episodes of television, But I can sort of quietly and sensibly sit back and go, ‘There’s a version where if CBS can make a deal and be reasonable, then I’m prepared to be reasonable, too.’” – Alex O’Loughlin, TV Line, March 2018

“One of the biggest hurdle for me saying yes to the role, was that I would be representing a community of very special people within the US Navy. And I think I would be able to do it. And the only reason I have been able to kind of pull it off, is because of the support that I’ve had from select individuals. A number of them are in the crowd tonight. And you know who you are, gentleman. The US Navy SEALs  – I’ve never had a group of people make me feel more a part of, more equal and more welcome than that community. So, first of all, I would like to say,  a sincere and humble thank you so much to the entire community.”  – Alex O’Loughlin, Speech at SOTB, Nov 2017
