Before we start today’s post, just a reminder – we are not Alex or connected to him in any personal way. Any other pages that try to tell you that they are Alex (or part of his team) who wants to connect with fans, are scammer pages, trying to con you and get money from you. Fan Pages (like us) that are run by real fans, share Alex freely without any promises of direct contact with him.
I know most of you get tired to hear this all again and again, but so many still don’t seem to know it ……. 😦
AND
We have a page on our blog with a summary of links to all of Alex’s public activities since the end of Hawaii Five-0. If you are wondering what he is up to, read the posts about his thoughts and activities provided in the links on that page.
You can get the links here:
#AlexOLoughlin Diary (# 7): Beyond #H50 (April 2020 – ….. )
We all have to rely on the goodwill of those who meet Alex and then share their stories and post their pictures of him. Nobody can manufacture news and pictures when there are not any to share. And it will be ridiculous to repeatedly share the latest picture until the next new one is shared ……
For news about Alex’s next career move, we will all have to wait for any sort of official announcement. And we will of course share that as soon as any such news comes to light.

But let us continue sharing some of our social media posts of the past week.
Remembering the 240 episodes of Hawaii Five-0 by sharing a picture from each episode together with some thoughts shared by Alex and others at the time and over the years ……
Day 67

“I think the moments, the episodes like 3:20, I think it was, which is the episode where McGarrett goes back to Korea, a big flashback episode. And his SEAL buddy gets killed, that sort of stuff is fantastic for me to do.
It feel like in some way a departure away from the sort of daily grind of formula television and it’s all based on character. I’m never gonna not want to do that, I’m always gonna wanna do characters. It’s just my nature, that’s why I’m an actor.
So any time they let me do those things, stuff with my family, with McGarrett’s family is always fine. But there is also those moments along the way, the ones that really sort of shine for me and help get through the rest to the next moment like that.” – Alex O’Loughlin, Answering fan questions 2013

“I have a new baby. His name is Lion. He’s six months old. He’s the best. He’s very sort of measured. My big boy Saxon is kind of pretty rowdy. He’ll be 16 in July. And he is huge. He’s like six-foot. It’s terrifying.” – Alex O’Loughlin on Ellen, May 2013

- There was a shift in Alex’s attitude towards his kids’ privacy during this time. Not only did he allow the use of this picture of Saxon in Hawaii Five-0, but he also shared pictures of baby Lion with Ellen on her show during this time.

“Well, I have a really great job. I have a lot of fun. I get to tell stories, which is what I love to do most, I get to work with a great group of guys, and I get to do fun “boy stuff” and play with guns. The most rewarding thing about my job, though, is being able to reach people in a way that’s outside of the industry.
If I do a bunch of work and become a person of public interest on some level then I can hopefully use that to generate care in other areas that might be based in community service or philanthropy. I think that’s the most important part of my job as an actor. It’s a way I get to give back.” – Alex O’Loughlin, Kapi’o News Magazine, Dec 2012

“I’m always excited for viewers to tune in and see new “Five-0.” New “Five-0″ is always new cool stuff. Gadgets, guns, cars, action, big waves …
There’s also a lot of great character stuff going on with (McGarrett’s) mom, Danno’s daughter and ex … I love that it’s not just procedural.”- Alex O’Loughlin, Kapi’o News Magazine, Dec 2012

“It’s very different here from anywhere else in the world. There’s a lot of power here, a lot of mana*, and a lot of history. There’s also a lot of spiritual activity. You have to come and experience it. All that great stuff is the background of this TV show.
Hawaii plays the fifth and probably the most important character of the task force. It’s me Danno, Kono, Chin and Hawaii. We couldn’t do it anywhere else.”- Alex O’Loughlin, Kapi’o News Magazine, Dec 2012

“To be able to have two months with my kids and my family is the best. And my dog, you know. It was needed and I am ready to get back to work.” – Alex O’Loughlin, Blessing Ceremony, 10 July 2013

“I’m stoked, we got another great season on TV. I’ve never been this deep into a TV show before. I’ve never been to the fourth season as the lead of a show. It’s kind of … it’s crazy to me. Not that it’s ……. Experiencing this objectively is amazing.
So every new year that comes along I don’t take any of it for granted. I’m extremely grateful. I’m just as excited as you guys to see what is going to happen. I feel like a fan, more than the guy in the thing. So I am like, what is happening?” – Alex O’Loughlin, Blessing Ceremony, 10 July 2013
