Who played Danny Williams in the movie? The movie cast was different — who were they?
Actually, the only change in the Five-O team itself from the movie to the series (at the beginning, at any rate) was the Dan Williams character. The movie starred Jack Lord, with Zulu as Kono (who seemed, in the movie, to be the second-in -command) and Kam Fong as Chin Ho Kelly. Dan Williams was played in the movie by Tim O’Kelley. Apparently the test audience in New York didn’t think he did such a good job, and Leonard Freeman went looking for a new Dan Williams, and settled on James MacArthur. Aren’t we glad? (Secondary character changes: Movie: Governor–Lew Ayres; Attorney General–Philip Ahn. Series: Governor–Richard Denning; Attorney General–Morgan White, who was dropped eventually in favor of District Attorney (later Attorney General) John Manicote, played by Glenn Cannon.
