epaddon replied to a thread RIP JAMES OLSON in Classic Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)

His co-starring role in the 1971 sci-fi classic "The Andromeda Strain" is a rare chance to see him in a non-villain role for a change. Sad to have...

epaddon replied to a thread The White Brick Road is 50! in Classic Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)

epaddon replied to a thread "The Bomber And Mrs. Moroney" is 50! in Classic Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)

epaddon replied to a thread "The Bomber And Mrs. Moroney" is 50! in Classic Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)

epaddon replied to a thread McGarrett's Worst Speech? in Classic Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)
