Alex O'Loughlin

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.

Alex O'Loughlin (born 24 August 1976) is an Australian actor. He is known for his portrayal of Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett on CBS' remake of the TV series Hawaii Five-0 (2010–2020). He had starring roles in the films Oyster Farmer (2004) and The Back-up Plan (2010), as well as on such television series as Moonlight (2007–2008) and Three Rivers (2009–2010).
