EXCLUSIVE: Ed Asner is reprising his role (again) on CBS’ Hawaii Five-0, playing August March on the cop drama. He originated the role in a 1975 appearance in the first incarnation of the series and returned last year to play the world-class smuggler.

The seven-time Emmy winner is plenty busy, as he’s also set to star opposite Alison Sweeney and Greg Vaughn in the Hallmark telefilm Two In, which is shooting in LA for a 2013 premiere. He also just pacted to return to Broadway in the fall to star alongside Paul Rudd and Michael Shannon in Grace, the Craig Wright drama that officially opens October 4 for a limited run. He isrepped by Greene & Associates and manager Perry Zimel.


Fantastic news!
Go Ed! Show ‘em how it’s done.
I hope James Caan come back on again! Especially if he kicks left winged wacko Ed Asners ass!
There’s barely a dime’s worth of difference between the Left & Right. They both want power at the People’s expense. Ed is a good actor. Good for him.
I wasnt aware of his appearance last season but still extremly interesting.. coming back to play the same character on two incarnations of a show after such a gap is rare for televison.
