James McArthur is to make a cameo appearance in the new CBS reboot of Hawaii Five-0.

The 72-year-old actor, who played Danny 'Danno' Williams in the first version of the series from 1969 to 1980, is the last surviving original cast member.

McArthur told WENN that he supports the remake, which stars Scott Caan as Danno.

"This one's going to be a hit," he insisted. "It's got a good cast and good plots."

He added that producers are currently devising a role for him to play.

"They've asked me to appear in the new show," he confirmed. "I'll do [a cameo] when the time is right."

The new Hawaii Five-0 premieres on September 20 at 10/9c on CBS.

Does this mean we're going to hear the famous line "book em Danno"?

That's awesome. It's great that this iconic actor has not been forgotten by the people behind the revamp!!

Actually McArthur's final work came on the 1978-79 season; he did not appear in the last season ('79-'80), just to clarify what "to 1980" means. And the series began in 1968, not 1969; McArthur was there from the start, excluding the pilot ep which had a different actor playing Danny.

I hope that Amanda McBroom and Sharon Farrell have chances to appear in the new series. Both were "sort of" cast members in a peripheral way.

I hope he'll appear in more than just one episode. I'm really looking forward to watching this show.

So sad he never got to make any appearances.

He's not now. The New Danno is So cute,so is the other guy!

That's what happens when the producers lag, knowing that all the other orginal members are gone or getting up in age.
