What do you think? Are you a fan of Woolford? Do you watch Hawaii Five-0?
I haven’t missed watching Hawaii Five-O! Love this show! My sympathy and prayers go out to his family and friends!
Star?! Really? I watch every episode of every season and do not even recognize him. I’m sure he was a great guy and I feel for him and his family; however, he was most certainly NOT a “star” of this excellent show.
No, he wasn’t. Thanks for noticing that.
