His role as danny fits him so perfect that its weird seeing him in this studio lol

Throughout the 10 years he’s done 5-0 I was surprised by the salary disputes it caused for the whole cast, specially for the Asian actors. I felt really sorry for them, specially Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park. And despite them leaving and the controversy surrounding it, at least the rest of the cast including Scott and Alex stood up for them. They’ll always be remembered as the OG 5-0 to me and the fans 👏🏻❤️

The Hawaii Five O theme is still one of my favorite tv theme songs of all time, especially the orginal one.

I have to say I am a huge fan of Hawaii-five-0 and just love it! I wish it was still on! I am a huge Scott Can fan and watch all of his work. An amazing talent! Scott does a show/movie/play, I would see it!

This is the most I have ever liked Scott Caan. Very natural dude.

5-0 one of the lowkey best shows of all time ! Appreciate ya Dan o!

I want to sympathize, yet a 10 year gig in a leading role on one of the most popular and successful franchises in history is pretty much the wet dream of every aspiring actor on the planet. It's an annual budget you can count on, a lucrative contract worth millions each year, a character everyone enjoys, a location with an environment most people escape to for their vacations, a stable family life without having to move for each new job, etc. Not to mention the residuals he'll enjoy for the rest of his life that will probably end up paying him more than he earned while on the show.

Scott Caan is one very excellent actor - very natural in front of the camera .

The older he gets, the more he looks like his father.

I hope he stills keep in touch with his cast mates, it’s was like one big Ohana after 5-0 ended

He was my favorite character in the series.

This was my favorite cop show for the longest time...i still watch the reruns

I miss HAWAII FIVE-0 so much ❤️

There's a reason why most successful actors start their own production companies...it's to find and develop properties that Hollywood might not otherwise have thought of them for. Gotta be proactive...you can't sit around waiting for someone to challenge you, you have to do it yourself...

My favorite show I watch the reruns still every single Friday …. I know how he seems to sound but he said it was a blessing!!

Hey. He was making a solid paycheck for 10 years. Most actors would love that. He is still young enough to reinvent himself. Loved him on Entourage.

He really looks like his dad!

Caan's "Dallas 362" was a well written movie, lots of fun!

Hawaii five - 0 is the greatest crime/cop series I have ever watched. Although the series wasn't the same after Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park left, it had the perfect ending and not one episode is bad. Im still questioning and trying to find an answer as to why Kim and Park left the series so frustrated - i get that they were underpaid (i dont know by how much) but I still think it was worth it - making friends and interacting with fans is priceless tbh.

it's a double edge sword. yes, after doing a show for many years it becomes repetitive if they are not progressing with the character's arch. Having said that...a lot of actors will never get the chance to experience being on a successful T.V. show that can last for a decade. I always felt way when Michael left Smallville. It has nothing to do with his talent to not be able to land on another hit show...its just the nature of the business and the reality of it. it can't be an easy decision to make and walk away from.

Way less affected than I thought he'd be. Cool guy.

01:50 it helped that Vince Gilligan, the cretor of BrBa had already worked with Bryan Cranston on the X-files(S6E2). Great episode too.

Tweeter is one of my favorite characters to ever hit the big screen

Scott Caan is the MAN!

Of course he loved this show it was a family, Hawaii five 0 one of the best shows of all time ❤❤❤

Great podcast, miss it dearly

Most actors never make it or get their shot. Just be grateful you landed a 10 year gig and a couple of movies here and there.

I think it would be easy to do something different; it's just a matter of changing tone and type of relationship. Imagine he and Alex O'L as brothers surviving a tsunami or being characters in some StarTrek movie on Mars. Fantasy is the limit!

Used to watch this show with my grandma she loved this show to bad she couldn’t finish watching till the end

His late father said in an interview he didn't think Scott should do the show because he is someone who doesn't settle down and is always busy trying new things and a tv show would tie him down etc his father clearly was right and knew his son's personality very well. Scott should have taken his dad's advice

Yes for an actor having a steady job for 10 years great . But obviously on the flip side, as he says, you sort will get typecast, thus potentially/ possibly missing out on roles / jobs that would really get his creative / artistic juices flowing.

Why does that host remind me of Fred Norris from the Howard Stern show? Must be the look and voice

i will always see him as Charlie Tweeter

Book him Danno!!!

These kids who grow up in Hollywood crack me up. Scott was living in Hawaii, & he was paid well. He was working 9 months out of the year. Difficult life.

Interesting point.

LOVE SCOTT CAHN.HES A DOWN TO EARTH.HUMBLE PERSON

Should i watch the show??

I am at the moment re watching Hawaii Five 0, I am at season 4 and go 6 more seasons to go. Love Steve and Danno banter. Alex O'Loughlin is the first reason why I started watching the show and still enjoying it.

Book Em Danno

scott caan be a sexy fella l loved him as danno l has all 10 seasons of hawaii five-o in dvd l also loved the dynamics of him and alex o'laughlin as steve mcgarrett l totally ship steve and danno

The show lasted a decade??!?!???????

Scott's best acting imo was entourage.He was great in that show

Big up to the Whooliganz

How did he not know what a procedural TV show was?

Bryan played two roles in breaking bad Walter White and Heisenberg both were totally opposite

The comments are so mean and childish, they are talking just about the money but yes, it can be more for some people, he talked about how great it was too, he literally said blessing. And this it's not coming from a rich person.

I would pay good money to see him acting in a good action movie

He looks more and more like his dad now

I had no idea that show was on that long. Never watched an ep

Wow

10 seasons of a show i watched first ten minutes of.

Monotony is contagious. But really? Count your blessings. If there was an opportunity for movies, why didn't agent negotiate. I thought ALL TV actors had movie clauses in their contract. C'mon, it's not like eh didn't have advisors or it was first time in the business.

Holy shit, SMALLVILLE! I knew he looked familiar lol. Yes I'm dumb

ALWAYS wanted him to play Wolverine. He would of been good at it.

I always thought it very brave of them to cast a little person in 5-0 and Caan pulled it off great

It must have been really hard hauling all those checks to the bank, I really feel bad for Scott.

10 years, he was probably only in it for 5. I don't know about the first few seasons, as I picked up on the show late, but it felt like he was a part-timer. He wasn't in a lot of the episodes and when he was in an episode, he did very little for the majority of them.

The original 5-0 had a certain style that the new series was lacking. It has happened over and over.

I'm sure all the other Actors (who make $15k to $30k a year) feel really bad for Scott that he got trapped in his 10 year job with a starting salary of $500k a year and annual raises to about $5 millions per for the last 2 years. Because it's so hard when you can't express yourself as an artist.

My goodness he looks more and more like his father the older he gets

surely it's a blessing to get to explore your craft like that. But really these shows shouldn't go on longer than 5-6 years.

that's because the first 1.5 seasons of breaking bad was malcolm in the middle.

I wonder how different his answer would've been if he wasn't the son of a Hollywood icon; if he was a struggling actor, waiting tables in between auditions, wondering if he'd ever be able to make a living as an actor or if instead he'd have to give up his dream & find a regular job... Also, not taking a shot at the guy, but how many guys his height make it as Hollywood stars, in movies or in TV? Tom Cruise is often cited as a being a "short" actor. He's 5'7" Other "short" leading men include Tom Holland (5'8"), James McAvoy (5'7"), & Al Pacino (5'7")... Caan is 5'5". Guys that height generally aren't leading men; they're sidekicks or comedic actors... The fact that he got to be an co-lead in an action procedural for 10 years, & the lead in another show at his height is unheard of. I feel like the opportunity he had would not have been afforded to anyone else his height, so he should be more thankful for the career that he's had.

Ya but the truth is actors who go to TV really don't have a huge range. THere are exceptions but you don't really think of TV actors as "exceptional". They're usually good looking people who can read lines well enough. In reality they should bank and invest as much as they can, and use the money to produce or create their own projects. If you can't do that, you really should just be thankful for the gig that 99.99% of the actors would love to have.

Regular people.

Ready To Rumble was the finest movie ever made

a 10 year run on any show or platform is a great achievement..... actors wait their whole career for that kind of success... and NOTHING in life is going to be perfect so whats the issue here??? Bad writing will always kill a show

He was 3rd Danno..Danny Williams..the pilot was another actor..they replaced him with Danno everyone know for tv series.... Great remake...

what if we have a sequel called 5-Heat ?

Haha was thinking same, so hard to be an actor making 100 times what most make working regular jobs. No pity here, what a life! I didn’t even watch it

Sorry Scott, you are wrong. If you are on a show for that long and that's everything you've got, what does that say about you as an actor or a person? I love that show, it got me through some tough times and I even quote some of Danno's lines in my own life... love it so much. But if that's all you've got... what does it say about you?

Is it true that James (His father .) had a bad drug problem?

I really loved the new 5-0 until I found out they were paying the Asian actors less. Nepo-Boy was sure quiet around that time. I deleted all the episodes from my DVR and never looked back. Nice job CBS, it's no wonder Carol Burnett's 90th was on NBC. Way to stick up for Daniel Dae Kim, Scott. Way to have the 6 of the greatest talent on that show.

wait, did he say he missed new york? After living in honolulu hawaii? NAHHHH are you serious?

I'm not an actor and I would kill for that kind of a fucking paycheck

Lord Jesus I said I want dhany

Never got into that show. Even on television you could tell Caan is about 5’4”.

Is that Teeter?

🙄🙄🙄

We saw you drag down the last season of Entourage. You don’t have much in your bag of tricks.

Not in this particular interview others that ran during the time the show was still “live” (not re runs or syndication) painted Scott as a bit ungrateful as the show went on, if you faithfully watched all the episodes he is missing from several. He was the number two lead (or I guest co lead) of the show. Supposedly some of his absences was scheduling conflicts. I thought scheduling conflicts during Hawaii five o he wasn’t in anything else. Also the main lead (forgot his name the actor portraying Steve) had far better attendance. Anyway I have literally no sympathy for folks getting millions of dollars acting then they have complaints about “ I hate traveling back and forth” ..as far as missing family ..it’s acting on a tv series you aren’t working on the show all year. I’ve read how many shows are made including blue bloods in those interviews Donnie has pointed out they filming only a few months a season for all the episodes. So you visit family on the months you aren’t filming is my point. Full disclosure I have nothing against Scott personally I just hate ungrateful people, I don’t think he’s a good actor though.

Nice. Could of been better if equality pay was given for your Asian partners. But of course over the decade. It was nice to take the whole check.

He's a second rate James can .all he does is try to act cocky like his father but doesn't have one third of his talent..

He's exactly right about it becoming "shtick." I watched every episode for the first 6 years or so but they were doing the same exact thing over and over....especially when he and Steve "argued" all the time. He got really old and tired so I quit watching.

*Networks or film companies make decisions based on money. And pay according to who theyvthink brings in the most money. I doubt it was racism. Just cheapism.*

He’s 5’4”. He’s got no highs…..

10 years of cashing huge checks living in Hawaii poor guy…..being on a show for 10 years does not mean uve shown everyone all ur acting abilities people transform people

Good to see Scott again, after Hawaii ended. Watch because of him. Can't warm to the rest of the cast. Quirky.

Poor Scott , lol, talk about spoiled

To me it’s pitiful when an actor complains like this. How about the average person who does the same job day in and day out for 30 plus years. Maybe you should be more grateful that your job is a high paying entertainment job and appreciate what you have

I can not believe it lasted 10 years. The Original so Much Better.

The new Hawaii Five O just didnt hit the same..

I always wondered why such a bad actor was on tv, ahh his dad is famous

I really didn’t like that character and stopped watching the show after a couple seasons.

He's so full of himself. He doesn't realize that he's not a top tier actor.

Yo, let's be real, Bryan Cranston is dog sh!t in every except "Breaking Bad".

He stinks. he ain't half the actor his father was

Detective williams!
