Hawaiian cop-drama "Hawaii Five-0" is adding another guest star to season four: Daryl Hannah. Access Hollywood reported that the "Splash" actress will be appearing in an upcoming episode of the series.
Hannah will play a local realtor who may not exactly follow everything to the letter of the law. It is also reported that her character will be a 'cougar' and strike up a love connection with a younger man.
The revival of the classic show will also feature a guest actor who starred in the original series, which aired from 1968 through 1980. According to TV Fanatic, Chi McBride will resurrect a character that he made famous on the original show in the 1970s: Captain Lou Grover.
The new season will also feature Melanie Griffith as Danny "Danno" Williams' (Scott Caan) mother. According to WENN, Griffith, 56, was approached by Caan to consider playing his character's mother. Griffith loved the idea, and said that she hopes the role will become a recurring part. "I did a play with him (Caan) last summer and he's so cool. I adore him," Griffith said.
Griffith, who was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for her performance in the 1988 film "Working Girl," has recently had trouble finding work. Griffith sites ageism as the main factor that hinders her from finding roles.
"I don't get offered a lot of movies," Griffith said. "I just thought what would never happen when I was in my twenties and thirties hearing actresses b**ch about how they didn't get any work when they were 50, and now I understand it. Hollywood in a lot of ways is a very superficial place. For women it's all about youth and beauty."
In addition to Griffith and McBride, E! Online reports that "Hawaii Five-0" has added other stars to its list of cameos for next season: Nick Jonas, Carol Burnett, Tim Daly, Jorge Garcia, Terry O'Quinn, Rebecca De Mornay, Taryn Manning, Rumer Willis and Henry Ian Cusick.
The first episode of the new season will feature Henry Ian Cusick as a member of a terrorist organization.
CBS released the official synopsis for the season premiere:
"After McGarrett and Wo Fat narrowly escape from maximum security, gunmen storm Five-0 headquarters, compromising Kono and Adam's secret location in Hong Kong and forcing McGarrett to break the law and turn on his own in order to find a kidnapped Catherine."
The fourth season of "Hawaii Five-0" will air on CBS on Friday, September 27.
