SOPRANOS Alum Michael Imperioli to Join HAWAII FIVE-O

Former Sopranos cast member Michael Imperioli has landed a role in another drama.

Imperioli joins HAWAII FIVE-O later this season as former criminal Odell Martin, a barbershop owner who loves surfing. He has been in Oahu for 10 years, and despite the fact that some of his employees are ex-cons, he runs a clean shop and insists on being genuinely reformed. However, he continues to keep up a good relationship with powerful criminal contacts.

Executive Producer Peter Lenkov describes Imperioli's character as, "a sort of fun ex-New York transplant who's become a surfer/confidential informant."

Appearing on the 14th episode and possibly more, Imperioli joins previously announced guest stars Barkhad Abdi and Cloris Leachman.
