When Grace Park first heard about the character of Kono Kalakaua in "Hawaii Five-0," here's what she thought:
"Boo-ring."
But why? Kono -- a soon-to-graduate police cadet who gets to step up to the big leagues when she joins the Five-0 team -- is a tough, smart, beautiful woman and former pro surfer who's more than good in a fight. Turns out, though, that Park was worried Kono might be a little too perfect.
"It's funny -- when [co-star Daniel Dae Kim] was telling me about the script, he was like, 'Oh, she kicks a**, she's a great character,'" Park tells Zap2it. "When I heard she could do all these things and she's supposed to be in a bikini and stuff, I just rolled my eyes. ... I just wanted something different than that."
Fortunately for her, Kono has turned out to be more than the average butt-kicking heroine. "I think she's lovely, and she's a real person ... she's three-dimensional," she says. "She has a history and hopes and dreams and failures."
