Well . . . I heard (gossip on late-night talk shows, if I recall correctly) that Jack Lord was a bit proprietary about "Hawaii Five-O" and was pretty dictatorial about what went on in the show. Basically it was said that he had to dominate every scene or he could get pretty snarky. One actor who did a guest role on the show commented that he got the impression that Jack was considering having his first name changed to "The."
