Detective Chin Ho Kelley was played by actor Kam Fong. Fong was able to bring a level of authenticity to the role that other actors couldn’t because he was once an actual Honolulu police officer. He served on the Honolulu Police Force from 1946 to 1962 and retired to pursue a career in real estate and acting in time for Hawaii 5-O.
