Richard T. Jones cast as ‘Five-0’ Lt. Gov.

CBS has cast Richard T. Jones, a veteran actor most recently seen in the film "Super 8," to play the part of the lieutenant governor in the second season of "Hawaii Five-0," the network said Friday.

Although the lieutenant governor was never seen in the first season, the character will have to fill in for the late Gov. Pat Jameson — played by Jean Smart — because she was murdered in the season one finale by Wo Fat.

The 39-year-old Jones has had a variety of recurring roles: as James Ellison in the 2009 televison series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," as Aaron Waters in the 2007 series "Girlfriends" and as Bruce Van Exel in the 2005 series "Judging Amy."
