Shane Victorino lands role on ‘Hawaii Five-0?

Bah! For years I thought Mickey Lolich was on Five-0…cause I remember my druncle yelling “Whoa, fat!” when I showed him a Lolich card.

It’s only right that Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino appear in an episode of “Hawaii Five-0.” Victorino is from the 50th State, of course, and he possesses enough charisma to at least get a callback. So, go and set your DVRs for Feb. 20 on CBS. Here’s a part of the episode’s synopsis, provided by The Five-0s website:

  Five-0 investigates the murder of a man dressed as a Hawaiian NaKoa warrior found in the jungle near the site of a historical war re-enactment. Philadelphia Phillies outfielder and Hawaii native Shane “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” Victorino guest stars as a business executive on a company retreat.

“The Flyin’ Hawaiian”? More like “The Actin’ Hawaiian.”

Victorino’s character even gets a name: “Shaun.” Much like “Shane” — and the old “Five-0” series from the ‘60s and ‘70s, when Kam Fong played Chin Ho, or perhaps it was the other way around.
