When I first saw this thread I read it through because I have a couple of the South Pacific Man mugs and I didn't know anything about Al. I saw Doctor Z mention that he had a stint on Hawaii Five-O but I didn't think that much of it. Thought maybe he played the mayor or something.

Hawaii Five-O's on every afternoon and I tape it to watch after work. I'm watching one of the tapes this evening and I'm thinking "Where's Kono? Haven't seen him the last couple episodes."

I rewind to the opening credits and there he is! "Al Harrington as Ben." Apparently, Al replaced Kono. Where Kono's kind of the funny cop, Al...err...Ben's very serious. Very serious. Makes McGarrett look like Jerry Lewis. But he does a great job with the role. I'd seen him on a few episodes and 1) didn't realize he was Al Harrington, the South Pacific Man and 2) didn't realize that Kono had gone missing and Al was his replacement. I've gotta get hold of one of his albums now.
