‘Hawaii Five-0’ season 5, episode 15 preview: ‘Captain Phillips’ star Barkhad Abdi guest stars!

“Hawaii Five-0” has certainly had quite a few guest stars on the show over the years, but moving into the next installment, we are going to have a particularly notable appearance from a “Captain Phillips” star. Barkhad Abdi has quite a run in awards season for that film, and on this show, he is going to play a very powerful warlord who has been living with a disguise.

This story in many ways is inspired by the Kony headlines that dominated years ago, and it seems like it will be quite an exiting story! You can take a look at the official synopsis below, and just in case this story is not for you, you can also expect plenty of romance:

“When a journalist is killed, Five-0 must use his past reporting to hunt down a presumed dead Congolese warlord who is alive and well living on Oahu. Also, as Valentine’s Day approaches, Danny overreacts when Grace’s texts to a boy start accidentally coming up on his cell phone, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, Feb. 13 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.  Barkhad Abdi guest stars as the Congolese warlord.”

Above all else, we really just want to see something different with this episode, and the presence of a variety of different characters should deliver that and then some. On one level, you have a chance here to tell an action-packed, serious story, but there is also something more personal in here, as well.

We’re going to have some further news related to the show, so stay tuned for more updates.
