LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Daniel Dae Kim has landed a lead role in the upcoming remake of the U.S. television series "Hawaii Five-0," CBS said.

The South Korean-born, U.S. actor is best known for his work on the mystery drama "Lost," which is also filmed in Hawaii. It is to wrap up its sixth and final season in May.

The Hollywood Reporter said Kim is to play Detective Chin Ho Kelly in the new "Hawaii Five-0."

Australian actor Alex O'Loughlin, who has starred in the short-lived series "Moonlight" and "Three Rivers," is in talks to play the role of Detective Steve McGarrett, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.

The original "Hawaii Five-0" series starred Jack Lord and Kam Fong Chun, and ran from 1968 to 1980.
