Lost alum Henry Ian Cusick is heading back to Hawaii, with a plum role on Hawaii Five-0.
The dashing Scotsman will guest-star in the Season 4 premiere as Ernesto, a tough, fearless and ruthless member of a terrorist group called the National Liberation Movement. Provided he makes it out of the mayhem he makes alive, he possibly could reappear like a bad penny.
Asked to comment on Cusick’s character, show boss Peter Lenkov — who teased the Lost alum’s arrival with the photo below — said, “Well, he’s got the balls to take over the palace, Five-0’s HQ — so what more is there to say?”
Hawaii Five-0 opens its new season on Sept. 27, now airing Fridays at 9/8c.
Cusick’s previous TV credits also include arcs on The Mentalist and Body of Proof, and Season 1 of Scandal. He next costars on The CW’s The 100, premiering at midseason.

Awesome news!!!
Doesn’t matter, it’s still not Penny’s boat!
(joke appart, that’s good for him). A couple of Lost alumni played a role in this show (I nerver watched it) but Jin, Locke and now Desmond? they do like Hawaii!
Lost…:( I miss that show. I acknowledge that there are better shows around like Breaking Bad, but I never had that obsessive feeling with any other one. I’ll never be lost again
Another LOST alum on Hawaii Five-O? That’s more good news. First Hurley now Desmond Hume.
IIRC Locke was also on the 5-0.
not sure how to feel about this…..i’m just HOPING that catherine DOESN’T end up replacing kono on the team….let’s NOT over do the GUEST STARS this season, PLEASE…..we NEED more stories about the CORE characters….i.e. MCDANNO, KONO, CHIN and of course, danny’s daughter – gracie…..and PLEASE, WRAP UP THE DORIS/WO FAT thing too.
