Michael Shanks wants "dream" 'Five-O' role

Michael Shanks has admitted that landing the part of Danno on the new Hawaii Five-O remake would be a "dream come true".

The Stargate: SG1 star told Scifiwire that he hopes the programme will be updated for the 21st century, after auditioning for the detective role.

"I'm sure there's some updates, because I don't think we could pull off that kind of brow furrowing with a straight face in this day and age. I'll tell you one thing, to go to Hawaii to shoot a series would be a dream come true, that's for certain," he said.

The actor also commented that he doesn't feel sorry for the cast of Lost since they shoot in Hawaii every day.

"I don't feel too bad for the people on Lost. Oh, you're on Lost. Poor guys. Yeah. Boo-hoo. Go back to your cabana and have another mojito," he joked.
