TV remakes rarely surpass their original predecessors but CBS' Hawai Five-O is shaping up to be one hell of a show, thanks to its Whedonverse friendly cast. After enlisting Lost actor Daniel Dae Kim, who played Gavin Park on Angel for three years, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel alum
Marsters, who currently plays cult leader Barnabus Greele on Caprica, announced the casting news on his Facebook page. Unfortunately, the Buffy actor will only be appearing in the pilot as the nemesis of Alex O'Loughlin's (Moonlight) character--- which should be interesting since both actors have played vampires Spike and Mick respectively on shows that catapulted them to stardom. As of this moment, there is no word yet if Marsters' guest-spot will turn into a potentially recurring role, if and when Hawaii Five-O gets officially picked up by CBS.
Aside from the aforementioned cast, Hawaii Five-O also features Battlestar Galactica's Grace Park and Entourage's Scott Caan. However, Caan, who takes on the role of Danny "Danno" Williams, will only appear as a guest star since he has been cast as a series regular on the upcoming seventh season of Entourage.
Are you looking forward to the James Marsters-Alex O'Loughlin face-off?
