Hawaii Five-0's Alex O'Loughlin

I've been a fan of actor Alex O'Loughlin since I first saw him in the vampire TV show Moonlight. His current hit series, Hawaii Five-0, is a stylish and action-filled remake of the original series that starred Jack Lord. I admit to a strong preference for this version (sexier, funnier)! The hit show is now in its second season.

O'Loughlin's performances in Moonlight and Hawaii Five-0 spurred me to seek out the rest of his work, and I discovered that this talented actor has a lot of range. He has shown his flair for comedy as an oyster farmer and (opposite JLo) a cheese farmer, played a gritty cop in The Shield, and a life-giving transplant surgeon in Three Rivers. In The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant he struggled to survive the crushing existence of Australia's Botany Bay colony; in Feed he introduced us to the perverse and shocking world of feeders and gainers. As a serial killer in Criminal Minds, he managed to be both creepy and sympathetic. No matter what role he's playing, he immerses himself wholeheartedly in the character -- even doing many of his own stunts.

Are you a new (or long-standing) fan of this actor? Just how much do you know about him? (Hint: You can learn lots, lots more from Alex O'Loughlin Rocks!, a wonderfully comprehensive fan site to which I owe thanks for several of the pictures in the photo gallery). But before you head over there to get immersed in all things Alex... I hope you'll take this quiz, participate in the polls, leave comments, and enjoy all the Alex-related material gathered here!

TV Guide just named Alex O'Loughlin Sexiest Man on TV. Get no argument from me...

Which Accent Do You Like Best?

Alex-O'Loughlin

Alex O'Loughlin is Australian, but in most of his recent film and television work he speaks with an American accent. And his American accent is impeccable. But which of his accents would you rather listen to? (Note: I'm excluding the obvious 3rd choice: Who cares, as long as we get to hear that sexy voice?!)

Alex O'Loughlin: Should He Play 007?

Discuss.

Alex O'LoughlinIt's always tricky seeing favorite books or series made into movies, but some seem to lend themselves to it. I'm a fan of the futuristic detective novels of J.D. Robb and admit that I'd love to see Alex O'Loughlin in the role of brooding, sexy, Roarke. It might be awhile before anyone decides to make those books into movies, however.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking it's about time for another James Bond movie. Alex was considered for the role several years ago, but he may have been a bit young for the role. What about now? Would he be the best choice to play 007 in the next film? Please share your opinion.

When Alex was comprehensively tested for the role about 7 years ago, casting director Jane Jenkins had this to say: ...Alex is a terrifically sexy, masterful, and take-charge guy - just the type who can make you remember that James Bond is a seriously dangerous man.. Still having difficulty picturing him in the role? Check out the fan-imagined "trailer" below.

Should Alex O'Loughlin play the role of James Bond in the next 007 film?

yes, he would be perfect, better than Daniel Craig!

Olga says:

Yes of course!

Would any of us have chosen Sean Connery, that sure worked out....just saying!

MareeT says:

That would be a great role for him!

No. He isn't right for the role. I'd prefer to see...

COUNTRYLUTHIER says:

The Bond man may just a tad out of his range. Good actor otherwise.

cmadden says:

No.

E.Bones says:

Try another role that is his own,and not played by every other Englishman. I would like to hear him in something with his Australian accent. I'm sure there are other character from Australia. Try the priest from the book/tv movie Thorn Birds.

have to say no

Not him, please.Daniel Craig was mistake If he is the next one this will be disaster.

Alex Film and TV Clips

Alex O'Loughlin has been in numerous film and tv projects, some of which are better known than others. If you are a fan of Alex's from a particular vehicle (Moonlight, for instance... or the new Hawaii Five-0), you might not be aware of some of his earlier work. Included here are video montages from The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant and Oyster Farmer, in which he does spectacular work and that I highly recommend. Also included is an interview of Alex discussing the movie Feed, which he developed and in which he starred. A video montage from Moonlight showcases a pivotal sequence of events in the series. New: Heart-pounding mash-up of action sequences from Hawaii Five-0 and another eye-candy video.

An interview with an Australian TV station on the eve of Hawaii Five-0's Australian debut lets us hear his natural Australian accent and underscores what a brilliant job he does of playing American roles. Do you prefer his Australian accent or the American one? Vote in the poll below.

Alex's Hair

This makes me grin. During the Hawaii Five-0 summer hiatus, Alex O'Loughlin was in vacation mode, with a maintenance-free buzz cut to match. Now that the shooting season is on again, the hair is back. For those who miss his hair during vacation breaks, though, one fan has done a homage to the longer locks. Hair it is.

Some of Alex's Early Work

Sometimes I come across fun clips from earlier in Alex's career. Here's where I'll put them.

In 2007, when Moonlight was presented to CBS, the series was called Twilight. It also featured a completely different cast, with the exception of Alex. Here's the original (unaired) short pilot episode.

Love this thoughtful, candid discussion of his movie Feed. Also added: a short but hilarious tampon commercial and a deleted scene from August Rush.

Steve McGarrett: Too Isolated?

In the series opener of Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett (played by Alex O'Loughlin) suffered the violent death of his father. In subsequent episodes, he learned that his mother's death was murder, and not an accident as he had believed. His reunion with his estranged younger sister was cut short just when they were starting to reconnect, because she's in danger. So, at the moment, Alex's character is left with no personal support system and few ways to expand his personal story.

With no family and limited personal relationships, is the McGarrett character too isolated? Being a loner is part of his identity, but is this being carried to such an extreme that it will limit character growth and development?

Alex O'Loughlin gives a delightful performance in this comedy/romance that takes place in New South Wales. The acting is uniformly great and the scenery spectacular, the story funny and touching -- and a little quirky. A little gem of a film. Lovely.
