Lauren German to Play New Agent on Hawaii Five-O

Hawaii Five-O has found a new regular cast member, as well as a potential love interest for Steve McGartett.

As first reported by TV Line, Lauren German (Happy Town, Human Target) has been named a major player on the CBS hit. She'll come on board this fall as a former Homeland Security Officer chosen by the new governor to join our favorite task force.

German's character will keep an eye on the squad for the government, and also light up a few sparks with McGarrett.

Hawaii Five-O has been on quite the casting run. Over the last few weeks, it's named Richard T. Jones as that governor; Terry O’Quinn as McGarrett’s Navy SEAL trainer; and Tom Sizemore as an Internal Affairs agent.
