Peggy Ryan and James MacArthur in Hawaii Five O James MacArthur and Jack Lord in Hawaii Five O Jack Lord in Hawaii Five O

Gregory Peck was offered the lead role of McGarrett but turned it down.

Kam Fong, who played Det. Chin Ho Kelly (1968-78), was an actual officer with the Honolulu Police Department who served from 1946 to his retirement in 1962 to take up a career in real estate.

Jack Lord was the only one of the cast to stay with the series during its entire 12 year run. Kam Fong (Chin Ho Kelly) left after the 10th season. James MacArthur (Danny Williams) left after the 11th season.

McGarrett finally caught Wo Fat in the final episode of the series. However, at the end of the episode, Wo Fat can be seen digging into his boot and taking out a file leaving it open for a possible reunion episode.

Zulu (Det. Kono) was the first of the regular cast to depart the show in the 4th season.

McGarrett often referred to Kono as "Big Kanaka", Chin Ho as "Fatso" and his secretary, May as "Love"

McGarrett supposedly had his office in Iolani Palace; the actual palace used by the last kings and queens of Hawaii. As of 1969, the Palace had fallen into disrepair after years of abuse and neglect. Restoration was begun, and the Palace can now be toured for a $20 fee.

Despite the attention that Hawaii Five-O brought to Hawaiian state law enforcement, Hawaii is the only state that has no state police agency.

The Five-O in the series' title pertains to Hawaii's rank as being the 50th state to enter the union (August 21, 1959).

Richard Boone (one of televisions biggest stars for having played Paladin on the 'Have Gun - Will Travel (1957)') was Leonard Freeman's first choice to play McGarrett. Despite the fact the Boone already lived in Hawaii, the actor turned down the role.

Freeman took the name Wo Fat from a restaurant in downtown Honolulu.

The name Chin Ho came from Chinn Ho, the owner of the Ilikai Hotel where the penthouse shot of Steve McGarrett in the opening title was made.

Zulu was a Waikiki beach boy and local DJ when he was cast for the part of Kono, which he played for the next four years.
