Hawaii Five-0 fans will get a little local flavor on the hit CBS show tonight. Sullivan East and East Tennessee State University graduate Jeff Parker will have a small role in tonight's episode.
Parker is a public affairs officer for the Army, stationed in Hawaii, but he will be on the opposite side of the law in tonight's episode.
"They hold me at gunpoint, so I turn around and run back down the jet way like I’m really going to get back on the airplane, it's already closed,” said Parker. “Soon as I turn to the right, Daniel Dae Kim pops up, sticks a gun in my face, I turn around and try to run back up … we're cornered, and that's it."
Parker says many of the extras you see on the show are off-duty military personnel.
"It’s a good morale boost," said Parker. "The family members really enjoy it, especially those families whose active duty member is deployed overseas, 'Hey, watch for me on Hawaii Five-0 tonight honey!', and that helps the soldiers downrange as well."
You can watch the Bluff City native tonight on CBS at 10 p.m.
