Who wouldn´t be frowning, having to go back to work after a wonderful vacation…
Here are the few blessing videos that popped online.
The live streaming was very unfortunate for some of us. Luckily they were shared later on. Yey!
Unfortunately FOYeur was tied up with RL and that meant I had to give a go at the transcript. Oy… Well this is what my ears (and imagination) caught 😉
Btw Dusty was so cute on the set 🙂
Transcript
Billy: Let´s talk to Dusty’s owner. While Dusty is not an official cast member of Hawaii Five-0, this guy is. Alex O`Loughlin, is here at our undisclosed location here in Oahu.
Billy: Alex, you said your favorite part about Hawaii Five-0 is the community stuff that you get to do out there?
Alex: I did say that, didn’t I. And actually … actually is. No, it the …. It’s a great …. I mean it’s … It’s our kuleana – you know, it’s our responsibility. Everybody who is in a … in a job, you know, that pays well … I mean any …. anything where we get a bit of exposure in the public eye, is your responsibility to use that to do things for other people. But I get … I get a lot of joy from … from that.
Billy: You also said you get a lot of joy in the off season. You’ve been doing some house building?
Alex: Yes, I have. Yeah, we just moved into our new house. It was a …. I bought a little Ossipoff house 4 years ago, 4 and half years ago and lived in it for 3 years. It was falling down around us during that time. And redesigned the fit out and just rebuilt the whole house with a new wing. And so, it’s a big deal. It was actually really satisfying, creative effort for me.
Billy: Yeah. A lot of people talk about the beard, of course, and when you get into the new season, that always seems to be the buzz. Your thoughts on the beard?
Alex: I don’t really have any. I just … I call it my vacation face. And I have … you know, my … my …my sort of catch phrase is that, “They pay me to shave. I do the acting for free”. So, you know … They’re about to …. I’m like waiting for that first cheque, I’m like, “You want me to shave my face, where´s my cheque man?”
Billy: [Laughing] Now let’s talk about Season 6, Hawaii Five-0. Excited to be back in the roll of things?
Alex: Yeah, absolutely. Look … I mean … I’ve been here for 5 years doing this. And first of all, I have never done something for this long before, so it´s all new for me from here on. It’s actually been new for … for the last couple of years …
But, I think to myself, “What am I going to do when this is over”, you know. I don´t want to leave Hawaii, so … I mean, the longer the show goes, the less I have to worry about those sort of, you know, practical, like day in the life, sort of things, you know. But ah …. I’m very grateful, very glad.
Billy: Okay. Family is good?
Alex: Family is great, thanks. Yeah…my boys are …. are …. are incorrigible. And determined. But they are great, they’re great. Thank you very much for asking.
Billy: Love to the family and congratulations – here we go Season 6.
Alex: Right on. It’s going to be a good one.
Billy: Okay. Alex O´Loughlin, talking star, with us, Steve McGarrett – Hawaii Five-0.
They are going to go right on to filming, but he may wait a little bit. I think he’s got a bit more of rest time.

Big thanks to Silvia for getting it and sharing with rest of fandom.
Alex: I’ve never been this far in a show before either. This is six …. six years, and you know, a six season. And I´m very excited. Every one is very excited. I think we …. by now we certainly know what to expect as far as the workload goes and all the rest of it. But I think a certain ease …… goes along with getting this far in a … in a show as well. And so, I think there’s a … there’s a comfortability and an ease now.

Alex: I’m always looking forward to seeing what the writers … a …. come up with. You know, I like …. I do the same thing every day, you know. So it’s …. I like it when the story shifts and they throw me …. and they throw me a …. a couple of left ones. You know, it’s good. Giving …. giving me something to deal with …. a … creatively. So I look forward to doing that. Seeing what they’ve got in store.

Mike: Do you do anything different in the morning for the first day? Do you have a routine? Or do you just ….
Alex: I gotta … I’ve gotta shave. That will be different.
Mike: When was the last time you had to shave?
Alex: I’ve had a couple of little trims. But, for the most part it’s been … it’s been since I finished work.

PS. Anyone else think Dusty’s vacay just started? Poor girl having all that incorrigible boy energy at home 😉
