Interesting Hawaii 5-0 fact: "Kam Fong, an 18-year veteran of the Honolulu Police Department, auditioned for the part of the lead villain Wo Fat, but Freeman cast him in the part of Chin Ho Kelly instead. Freeman took the name Wo Fat from a restaurant in downtown Honolulu." FYI, the restaurant is still there. It's an old-school chop suey establishement.
