The Big Guest Stars of Five-O
Updated on September 22nd, 1997
A Star is Born!
A surprising amount of well-known names graced the Hawaii Five-O series in
guest-star roles. Several of these people were relative unknowns at the
time, but went on to much bigger things in the '80s and '90s. Below is
a partial list of well-known stars of today who once appeared on Five-O.
This list is presented in order of episodes, and includes the more well-known
series each actor/actress is famous for. By no means is this a complete
listing of all Five-O guest stars. If you have any additions for the list,
send me mail and they will be
immediately added. A *** indicates that an actor has appeared in previous
Five-O episodes, and is featured earlier in the list.
