- Heidi Chang
Hawaii is riding a pretty good wave right now, when it comes to luring TV and film production to its shores. Like many other destinations, Hawaii has struggled over the years to capture film and television production. So in 2006, Hawaii increased its tax incentives. State officials say this has been its best year for TV and film production. And now the show that put Hawaii on the map is back. The new Hawaii Five-0 is one of the most talked about shows this Fall season.
To celebrate, CBS held a special premiere in Waikiki. Hawaii Five-0 stars share a glimpse of what they like most about living and working in the Aloha State:
Alex O'Loughlin - Steve McGarrett.
Scott Caan - Danny "Danno" Williams
Daniel Dae Kim - Chin Ho Kelly
Grace Park - "Kono"
