Scott Caan apologizes for Hawaii comments on talk show

My Mark One BS Detector says that little Scotty is back tracking to protect that sweet acting job and the money. Apology not accepted, go to Los Angeles and stay, boy, stay.

I teach my children to think before they speak-- you are responsible for your words and must live with the consequences

Can't wait till he and his wife can stop suffering being here.

Too little too late.

Hey Colleen Hanabusa, Why aren't you defending us? Shouldn't you go on the show and (without watching the ACTUAL clip) defend us by screaming "but we care about our Kupuna in Hawaii!" Hey Neil Abercrombie, Shouldn't you be sucking in your stomach and combing back your troll hair and proposing another tax (sugar drinks? Really? Have you seen Abercrombie's physique?) against snide comments! It's great to live in the People's Republic of Hawaii where Democrats create large slush funds of taxpayer money that they can raid, steal from, and dole out to friends at will. Brings to mind the days before the French Revolution! Let Them Eat Katsu! Lucky you live....?

I heard that a McDonald's in Camden, NJ has a job opening with your name on it Scotty... you burned your bridge in Hawaii.

Now I have no respect for him. There is nothing wrong with expressing how you feel and being truthful with yourself. There is no need to apologise for teling the truth. We do have a huge meth problem and compared to France, Italy, China and Japan the food is of lower quality.

Either you like it or not doesn't change the way I feel about the islands.

Scott sucks!!

Apology excepted. Move on people, ain't No Big Ting. Aloha spirit also means forgiving.

Here's three things to note: 1. He's blaming the whole thing on a joke that none of us were in on but him. That means we're all stupid for not getting it. 2. He gave the standard, coward's apology where he says "IF I hurt or offended anyone". In other words, IF you were offended or hurt, it's still not his fault. He didn't intend it, you're just too overly sensitive. 3. He waited until Saturday evening to issue the statement. That's what people in politics, the media and show business do when they try to sweep things under the rug. They issue statements after business hours in the wee hours of the night. Aloha Scott ... and take your useless apology with you as you leave our islands.

Hawaii will always be the best and better place to live in the US, and maybe the World.

This is not the first time Caan has trashed-mouthed Hawaii. Perhaps he needs a show somewhere else.

Mr. Caan should hastily pick up his cup and hustle on out of here.

OMG are we that sensitive? He doesn't like Hawaii--so what!?

This comment has been deleted.

Time to Book Danno outa there ....

What a little wimp! He's the weakest link in the cast too. He has nothing but his dad's name. I'm changing channels on Monday night until he gets back to where he belongs! Get shorty out a here!

Scott- Let's see if the ratings start to plummet. At least you are honest but don't even try to be be local-it takes the heart. You have a heart of a tyical Hollywood actor's attitude -Hawaii 's assets will be here many generations after your short acting career ends. Take your $$$ and buy a big House and a personal chef back where you came from. It might be sooner than you think.

Scott- one more thing-PLEASE don't make the "Shaka" Sign. You look very foolish now.

5-0 producer: Ummm Scott...those words you said could have a negative affect on the shows ratings..long story short...no show...NO JOB!!

Typical Hollywood type: shallow and empty.

Go away Scott, there are many good actors ready for the spot.........we don't need you......... as for the food, our diversity is awesome, I have travelled to many cities on the mainland, and countries in Europe and the Orient, none can compare to Hawaii........Do us a favor, LEAVE

Just another example of a Hollywood celeb type trying to be too cool for their own good, and instead, gets their okole stuck in their mouth. Funny, I've personally seen him be very gracious and kind to many local people. So I am quite surprised by his lack of better sense, especially since he is, by default, an ambassador of the State, whether he likes it or not. Danno, glad to see you're making positive steps in growing up a little by apologizing. Maybe, you can even take it to another level by donating some big kala to the HVCB to offset some of the damage you've done to Hawaii's reputation. So maybe after doing so, more visitors will "book 'em" travel to Hawaii.

time for 5-0 to knock-off danno.

Caan's apparently as stupid as he looks. Too bad. Oh well.

I can't wait to feed you Scott, when you come back from break you better stay in your White Trailer. I'm going to sprinkle something special for you. Hint: it comes from someplace you suck. Hehehehe.

Apology accepted. Let's move on and continue watching one of the few programs on TV that beckons tourists to see the beauty of Hawaii. Besides, nobody raised a fuss when Peter Griffin said "I'd like to propose a toast to our neighbors. Sure they might be black, handicapped, and a heartless sex hound, but hey, if they moved out some smelly Hawaiians might move in." I'm part Hawaiian and I love FAMILY GUY.

It may sting but some of their conversation is valid. There is a lot of crystal meth used here in Hawaii. In a lot of situations there is a slower pace here in Hawaii. Chelsea seemed to lead in on many of the downsides of Hawaii, even about the food discussion. Hawaii's food variety and abundance are different. I've lived in a few places on the mainland, and I've been to about half the states. Hawaii's food selection is unique with a concentration of certain types of Asian food that has evolved over decades. If you're from about two-thirds of the United States you may never experience white rice (sticky rice as they call it) in much of the mainland. There are people who may go weeks to months without seeing an Asian person, much less have a chance to experience their food. You can't expect everyone to warm up to the place. I have several friends who didn't like their trip to Hawaii and would not come back again. To each their own. Scott Caan is in a different situation, acting here on-site for a TV series that will keep him here for periods of time spanning several years. His taste for Hawaii may evolve or it may not. He's an actor, and entitled to his own opinion. Hawaii people are perhaps more sensitive than the rest of the United States. We get defensive as we have this strange combo where we are both boastfully proud of yet insecure about our state and its culture. Arrogant pride and insecurity are a bad combination in anything.

In one interview Scott Caan became Scott Caannot. LOL

Forgiven, but not forgettin'.

Scott, you made your mind up, apologies aside you're still a dick.

ATTENTION LEGISLATORS: the joke is on you - Scott provided a great return on the fil tax credits.

He's a cocky smartass who thinks little of Hawaii. Now go away.

Doesn't look like Caan meant to make the comments, it was the E lady that put the words in his mouth.

Can't they replace him with someone else that plays Danno?

Who cares... Scott Caan didn't say anything to make Hawaii look bad, it's just his opinion. Chelsea Lately made up the story of her driver and guided him to say things like the food sucks. The media always makes a big deal over nothing.

No caan ack, no caan handler!

Don't bite the hand that feeds you!

No need to apologize, Hawaii is unfriendly to non-locals, especially in the surf! Our state is becoming too insular and stagnant, we are not as accepting as our 'image' portray's us to be, nor as our host culture used to be, living the concept of 'aloha' as a way of life. Many will find this comments offensive, but they don't like or want to face the 'truth of the matter' and turn a blind eye to it.

Oh, now he's sorry! Anybody who goes on Chelsea's show is asking for it. She's a witch. She was saying our food sucks, too, and I bet she's never even been here.

I ain't watching 50 no more .... Scott you suck anyway....

He has a right to voice his opinion and I would think that what ever he said first is what he really thinks of Hawaii. So the apology, although it might be a nice gesture, may not be real.

Regardless of Scott's comments, the revealing thing here is the way Hawaii people are responding to it... That's where the aloha can start... :-)

rock fever. nothing new. some people caan't handle it.

The late actor who played Dano, James McArthur, was so much more pleasant to watch. I don't like the new Dano character at all. He's a lousy husband, fickle and always nitpicking with Steve McGarret. I'd be glad if he were pulled off the show. In fact I stopped watching Hawaii Five-0 because I was totally fed up with him. I agree with those who are offended and unforgiving. It's time for him to find a new role back in LA. The show can go as well as much as I care.

Well, there is some truth to what he is saying. People should be accountable for what they say or don't say anything.

He's a punk

i can do without caan, but I can't do without hawaii

Really Scott. The world knows Hawaii is paradise and millions have been here many times. I trust that people who heard your comments deducted a huge amount from the credibility column from your ledger. Instead of an apology why not donate a couple thousand to a worthy Hawaii cause.

Hey, don't apologize. There is no hustle here, it's true. Good for some, not for all. We like it well enough but that doesn't mean it's perfect.

wow, the star advert is really protecting the teamsters.

Hey Scott check it out - now this is entertainment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBVYio8hOMg and don't forget the paiai - Word of advice "Danno" no aku birds....Aloha.

You are forgiven brah, but DONT DO IT AGAIN

Not appreciated, not being able to embrace Hawaii, he should be canned! He does not represent what Hawaii is all about. No apology will make up for the things he said about Hawaii. Aloha, brudda.

From what I hear Five-0 is popular but after watching the first couple episodes I stop watching. The show does not respect the traditions of Hawaii’s Law Enforcers. One example: Five-0 has its make believe cops walking in and out of restaurants and other public places in plainclothes while exposing their side arms in full view, and in the cases I speak of there was no justification. Imagine a local cop walking into a restaurant in Waikiki with his gun exposed; he or she would cause near panic. The FBI doesn’t do it and nor does any other agency. The current Five-0 is just not as good a fit as the original. The curreny Five-0 is full of superhuman cops.

Hawaii 5-0 sucks anyway, beat it

I don't see how he and his wife will be able to eat at any restaurant in Hawaii from now on. There will always be the possibility of some extra "seasoning" in his food.....lol

STOP PICKING ON SHORT PEOPLE! I resemble those remarks....

Talks shows talk silly all the time. Caan should have know some Hawaii people very thin-skin. Hawaii sucks because Governor Neil Abercrombie sucks This past election was bought by PRP - it sucks! Tax Hell Hawaii sucks The Rail sucks The roads and potholes sucks. The public bathroom sucks

Let's hear him go on Chelsea's show again and clear up the mess he made. I'll bet his bosses, the producers of 5-0, MADE him apologize.

Two Five-0 drivers are on federal parole after serving five-year prison terms in separate methamphetamine distribution cases.

The man hired to replace Torres as a transportation captain has been convicted of drug dealing and assault.

A past business associate of Torres, George Cambra Jr., worked as a Five-0 driver last year while awaiting trial on drug-related forgery and theft charges.

AND WE GIVE THAT SHOW HUGE TAX BREAKS FOR FILMING HERE????

NO class. James MacArthur would be mortified !! Jack Lord would be, too !!

Are you people so insecure that you can't take a little criticism? Grow up. Maybe your making him look right by not showing any Aloha.

Go home Cann, we don't don't people like you in Hawaii. If you want to apologize, send a letter to Chelsea Lately & make her READ your public apology to her entire audience on TV & than maybe I forgive you.

Dano is doomed. The locals may forgive him, but in slow-motion.

it's one b-i-i-i-g brain phart by a secondary personality alien malihini.....and everyone knows that a phart cannot possibly be UN-PHARTED!!!.....someone will never be able to show his face around here again.....the public who cares will see to that and the show's producers will see to making the necessary changes as a response - like cleaning venice canal sewers, a new reality show !!! ( which could not happen to a more deserving personality )....

I don't watch 5-oh or E! but did look at the clip [ bit.ly/14mgIfb ]. Conclusion: Caan did, from his side, diss local style pace *but* it was "Chelsea Handler" who brought up "crystal meth", went on a mindless riff about Hawaii druggies, then put down the food (as if she ever left her hotel) which Caan agreed was (bad). So yeah, Caan played up to a clueless skank who luvs to hear herself talk, but Caan also admitted he still liked Hawaii as a place to visit "6 days at a time." Nothing wrong with that, especially when u come from a place where traffic/roadwork/etc does not slowing EVERYTHING to a crawl (almost) every day.

"when u come from a place where traffic/roadwork/etc does not [slow] EVERYTHING to a crawl ..."

The Producers should "CAAN" him from the show; get someone else to play "Dano"

Too late to apologize BOZO

Doddo, Sorry Dano, Too late, you have already put your foot in your mouth talking to the your non-college attendee, Chelsea Handler. Birds of a feather stick together.

He never tried the slow roasted Makawao goat intestine. Try it, you'll like it.

Not buying it, Scott Caan

In the original 5-0 Kono (Sulu)got too big for his britches band was kicked off the show the 2nd or 3rd season. Time to kill off Dano in a blaze of glory and replace him with another cop who gets promoted from HPD (ie like Heman Wedemeyer or Doug Mossman in the original 5-0) Guarantee ratings will go up for that episode. Caan is unhappy in the 5-0 series and what's is best for EVERYONE is that he be removed from the show before ratings go down to the point CBS cancels the series.

Danno needs to get off the slow rock! Shame on him, no respect! Next time I see you surfing at Diamond Head, watch out for my slow moving board heading your way!

Scott Caan is entitled to his opinion of Hawaii. So am I. I am turning the channel when the show comes on.

Who gives a rip

One lie leads to another lie and another... Time for CAANMAN to leave town. No more aloha for deadbeats! Don't let the screen door hit you a.. on the way out the door.

First, did you see the WHOLE interview or are you just another politician trying to run for the Senate! Let's fact it, if 50 was filmed anywhere but Hawaii it would already be in the toilet and that is where it should be. The actors are a joke. We have 100 pound model trying to be a tough law enforcement officer, another almost 5 foot and story line which most locals find funny as sure didnt happen here. We need the tax money but dont think bad enough to put up with this TV wreck waiting to happen. ALOHA!!

Well, maybe we'd feel better if he also took the time and apologized for exposing us to his sad little hairdo.... just sayin'

If Daniel Dae Kim was working on a series in Brooklyn and said, I hate greasers, meatballs and Italians, guaranteed he would wake up floating in the Hudson River. Scott is lucky Hawaiians are slow and stoopidly forgiving.

But the Caans are actually immigrant Jews from Germany. We think the name is associated with Italians because of "The God Father" legacy but it isn't.

The Hawaii 5-0 series is like a first meeting a good looking person, an analogy of scenic Hawai'i, but the contents is what either keeps the relation going or go separate ways. The scenes of Hawai'i aren't what made Magnum P.I. or the original Hawaii 5-0 successful although it helped as a launching pad, it was the contents. I don't see the current version lasting another season.

The damage has been done. Unfortuantely people pay attention to what thiese TV personalites think, I don't why, but they do. Any after the fact personality is just a feeble attempt at covering his okole. I would say to Scott that he doesn't have to live here, just fly in, do your bit, and leave.

Old news already, move on

The truth hurts.

His character on the show does not like being in Hawaii, which means he does not have to act, so we still do not know if he can act. If you ever meet him, move slower than usual, just to piss him off.

This clown should be written off the show!!!

D'oh!

Advice to Scott Caan: Stay out of Honolulu night clubs. You might be the next victim.

He doesn't like Hawaii...so what, that's not a crime. Everyone in Hawaii needs to be less petty and stop complaining so much about his comments. This is a society of whiners.

just leave all of you who don't appreciate Hawaii, we don't need you or want you

An actor who hates Hawaii playing a cop who hates Hawaii. No wonder he's so convincing.

Mr. Caan when you made those comments it came from within... this is your true feeling. Now that you said it out loud you want to take it back.. sorry not having it. I don't care about your show because I don't watch it ever! But I do care about my Hawaii

Scott Caan living off his fathers reputation, thats the reason he gets these gigs, he should be thankful he has a job! Five-O is good for Hawaii, maybe not up to snuff the old show - but times are different, more special effects, more violence .

He got the first part right...

You know what is funny everybody is putting there two cents in. All he did was give everyone a piece of his mind. Same thing when we go to the mainland. Tell me is there must be bad things you say about the place and don't lie. Because i went to Oregon and i really like the place but i hate the people in Salem because they are to prejudice. But i would go back to Oregon. So same thing Scott Caan gave his piece of mind to the world about Hawaii. Not everyone can get use to eating the local kine of food. So give the guy a break he made a mistake and apologized for it. Leave it alone already. That is one thing wrong about Hawaii people they don't know how to leave things alone.

his publicist must be thrilled (not)

Well well well...so even though Scott Caan is guily of overacting (sucks), and is only in this business at all due to his father's setting the stage for him, one thing that can be said about him is that in addition to being short, he has revealed to Hawaii and the world that he is also small. Too bad the show lacks the character depth of the original...Jack Lord did give the original show a serious and determined yet compassionate presence, and after the show he did choose to remain here and live out all of his years in relative quiet. His Aloha for his adopted home was revealed in his final act when his wife Marie passed away and they had left most of their fortune, a considerable sum, to Hawaii based foundations and charities. This is an act that one can safely anticipate that Caan will never perform, because while he is small, he also lacks depth...he can return to the hustle that be craves and one day we will read about his experiences in rehab...

i never miss an episode of Hawaii 5-0, use to be one of my favorite show partly because some local scene and some awesome action scenery. funny how a one week could change everythng. I will not watch Hawaii 5-0 ever again because of Scott Caan dense remarks. Remember next new episode for Hawaii 5-0 is right after the Superbowl so if you want to tell the producers something turn the channel right after the game I will and I hope all you do too.
