Wow. Wow. Wow. What a mind blowing, inspiring weekend with actor Alex O’ Loughlin! So grateful for your time and wisdom you so graciously shared! This is what our intensives are about. Access, knowledge, life experiences. Naturalism as an actor, circumstances, creation and imagination, paying attention, and trust. Loved seeing our students writing notes and taking it all in. And Mahalo to @davidmbarrett395for spending time with us and supporting our programs. Mahalo to the team @lucihare@aggytarrant@stardahlthurston@kahuapono@instantangie @briankeaulana @lopakisuka. And to @dbedthigov @hubcoworkinghi@sandboxhawaii@creativehi808@georjaskinner@celebrenty#elevate
First day with Alex:
A morning with David Barrett and Alex O’Loughlin
International Cultural Arts Network (ICAN) is a Nonprofit organization. Elevating Pacific Islanders in the film and entertainment industry.
ICAN’s focus is to help create opportunities in work force development, build infrastructure and establish placement goals by amplifying training with extensive ongoing master classes, by bridging connections beyond Hawaii.
We continue our trip down memory lane of the time in Alex’s ‘public’ life since H50 ended. Our last post was in May of this year and with it, we have posted the latest pictures of Alex again.
And please remember we can only post new pictures when people who meet Alex, post new pictures. Because he is no longer in public life performing, those pictures are few and far between. It is tiring to forever get complaints from people who want new pictures and are not satisfied with what we post!
Even though the cropped pictures are not good quality, they at least give us a closer view of a happy Alex enjoying his life with family and friends.

Fast forward to today, comparing teeth with the modern-day Steve McGarrett #AlexOLoughlin who has pearly whites and I’m sure no cavities. 😁 Unfortunaty, I have 2 cavities due to excessive chocolate intake 😳🦷 but Dr Jones keeps our teeth all natural and in tact. 🤣 #hawaiifiveocbs #hawaiifiveoh #hawaiifive0fans”

– Kipp Kollar shared a picture of himself with #AlexOLoughlin and Rodrigo Gracie at the NAGA (North American Grappling Association) Hawaii Belt Tournament. Kipp writes: “Hanging out with Alex O’Loughlin (Commander Steve McGarrett on CBS’ Hawaii Five-0) and Rodrigo Gracie at NAGA Hawaii this Sunday. Both Alex and Rodrigo are looking forward to competing in our April event back here in Honolulu. #naga#nagafighter#grapplingtournaments#ufc“

Just a sidenote here: Please remember that if a person compete in a NAGA Belt Tournament, you are not a professional fighter. You just compete against others in your age, weight and level of expertise category. It is for those who have reached different levels of BJJ belts to see how they compare against others like them. When you get your different colours in belts it is rather academic and you don’t get it from competing, you get it by training different moves. Such a competition can therefor show you just how you will fare against others on your same level.
Other actors like Tom Hardy in the past also competed in such a competition for the fun of it – although he was only a Blue Belt at the time and he would not compete against somebody like Alex who is already a Black Belt. So don’t read too much into my earlier comment about it. It is not as if he is becomming a fighter for money. They actually pay to compete.
Only time will tell what Alex will be doing next!
From all the pictures it is clear that Alex his using this time in his life to share with his family (Malia and the boys) and enjoying his other passion Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)
It is also evident that he is very much involved with his in-laws and that they, with Malia and the boys, are a big part of his life!

NAGA is The North American Grappling Association (NAGA)
I must be honest – the words competing in a BJJ Belt Championship Tournament is not making me very excited about the future of Alex’s career in acting.
