My Take
What impresses me most about Alex O'Loughlin isn't the decade he spent as Steve McGarrett — it's the discipline that decade required. Carrying a network flagship through ten seasons of stunts and reshoots is a marathon most leading men never finish. I also have a soft spot for Moonlight, where he showed a brooding vulnerability the Hawaii sun never quite allowed. The detail I keep returning to is his move into producing and directing: a sign he was studying the machine while starring in it. Canberra to American prime time is a long road, and he walked it with workmanlike grace.
