Two actors have been added to the cast of Rescue: HI-Surf in “highly recurring roles.” Shawn Hatosy (Animal Kingdom) and Ian Anthony Dale (The Resident) will be featured on the new action drama series when it debuts during the 2024-25 TV season.
Starring Robbie Magasiva, Arielle Kebbel, Adam Demos, Kekoa Kekumano, Alex Aiono, and Zoe Cipres, the Rescue: HI-Surf series follows the lifeguards that work on Oahu both on and off the clock. FOX ordered seven additional episodes of the show last month, bringing the first season’s tally to 19 episodes.
The casting of Hatosy will reunite the actor with executive producers John Wells and Matt Kester, who also worked on Animal Kingdom. Hatosy will also direct the 12th episode of this new show.
As for Dale, this casting brings him back to Hawaii. He appeared on several seasons of Hawaii Five-0.
Deadline revealed the following about the roles the two will play on the FOX series:
Hatosy will play Clayton Emerson, a natural politician and the father of rookie lifeguard Kainalu (Alex Aiono). Councilman Emerson is a shoe-in as the next Honolulu Mayor, a position that can work to his and Sonny’s (Robbie Magasiva) mutual advantage when it comes to getting things they want.
Dale will play Sean Harimoto, a local fireman who winds up working with Em (Arielle Kebbel) on a rescue. Impressed by Em’s fearless approach towards her job, Sean is interested in getting to know her better.
